Colonel Lag Posted December 7, 2009 Report Posted December 7, 2009 About 5 days ago, I started getting specced a lot. I viewed the trace and hop 11, the last hop before I reach the game server is showing a 99% loss. I get DSL from Fairpoint Communications, so I called tech support. They told me it wasn't their problem, and suggested I call Level 3 ( A large company that provides a backbone). I called Level 3 in Denver, and they told me that I needed to call Fairpoint, and have Fairpoint call them with the problem, so I called Fairpoint back, and they told me they have no idea what I'm talking about and could offer no help whatsoever. So....I'm hoping this post will reach either an owner or a sysop of the SS server and they can take some action to try to correct this problem. Here's the trace...

I am really sick of speccing out! Colonel Lag
MikeTheNose Posted December 23, 2009 Report Posted December 23, 2009 Packet dumping on the trace. It's not your connection. It's a DOS type protection that the server is using to prevent you from spamming it with your trace. Best to get a sysop to do a trace for you.
