Hello.

Major complaint today from my son who tells me his ping is so bad he
can't play a decent game of UT2004.

I ran a traceroute for him:

Hop 4 looks interesting - Isn't that an illegal address for use in the
wicked outside world? And the 200ms delay from hop 4 to 5 certainly
looks like the cause of most of the lag to the game server.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Graham
