So in theory, I could run these commands on my own router that is hooked up to my home machine, and it would reroute around the hopone.net servers, thus solving the issue on my end? If this is the case, for the love of all that is SS can you please hunt these commands down? There are TONS of us who are suffering a denial of our SS addiction because of this. You'd be a hero!

Figures. So I'm confused, once WHO refreshes the routing tables? I'm basically looking to find out who is ultimately responsible and able to address the issue and then I'll work on contacting them to resolve it.

So I had found a post somewhere (can't find it now of course) from people saying they had managed to get their ISP to reroute them around hopone.net. Does that make sense as a workable solution to anyone? When I called RCN last night, their indian support center, after repeatedly trying to explain the issue, said it was not possible for them to do this. Were they BSing me? It is sounding like the EG team may need to do something themselves about this with their hosting solution. Anybody have the contact info for someone high up who owns the server who can actually deal with this?

Ok, so that means that means it is a problem with Continuum itself? Thats what I'm confused about...like, who's end is this problem on? Hopone? The people who run EG and rent the rackspace on Hopone? My ISP? All of them?

I actually called Hopone last night and while I didn't have a support ticket since I don't pay for their rack space, the tech was nice enough to try to help me out a bit. He said that the most likely cause of this is that whatever EG is hosted on is probably a server in hopone's rack (he couldn't confirm details since I wasn't a customer) and that the server it is on is configured to add a delay in response to help fend off DDOS attacks. I'm not sure how much of that is true or not since if that was the case then I wonder how ANYBODY could play EG.... Has anybody contacted the server owners to inquire?

So after not having played SS since college, I just reinstalled and logged into EG ready for some serious flagging. Much to my dismay, I was instantly specced for high packetloss. I did some forum research and it looks like I may be a victim of the hopone problem. My trace revealed the following: Tracing Zone: SSCU Extreme Games IP Address: 66.235.184.102 Hop IP Address Host Name Loss(%) Min/Avg/Max Ping --- --------------- -------------------------------- ------- ---------------- 1 192.168.0.1 0.0 0 0 0 2 10.20.32.1 0.0 0 0 10 3 207.229.191.130 mart-h1.chi-mart.il.cable.rcn.ne 2.5 0 10 160 4 207.172.19.43 ge0-0-2.core2.chsl.il.rcn.net 0.0 0 10 10 5 207.172.19.15 ge5-2.border2.eqnx.il.rcn.net 2.5 0 20 160 6 66.36.224.217 chi1.ge1-0-2.core1.iad1.hopone.n 97.5 70 70 70 7 66.36.224.53 ge11-1.core2.dca2.hopone.net 97.4 70 70 70 8 66.36.224.228 vl2.msfc1.distb1.dca2.hopone.net 97.4 60 60 60 9 66.235.184.102 5.1 60 70 Cycles: 39 Am I boned? Is there ANY fix for this? I tried contacting RCN but their indian support center told me that "there server is down and that I should check back later" which is complete BS because I have net access. When I asked them to give me the host names of the servers that were down they told me they couldn't because "their tools were offline." How convenient. In any event, is there anything that my ISP, RCN, can do to help in the matter? I'm so upset I can't get on SS.
