<p>So I'm experiencing some irritating issues with the launchpad connection. My wife and I play EQ2 together, with our PCs plugged into separate ports on our Belkin 4-port wired router/modem. My wife can download game updates in a flash, whereas for me it can take a very long time. The Frostfell update, for example: on my wife's machine - whoosh! all done in moments, whereas on my machine, it starts at 1 hour remaining and either hovers around there, or very gradually ticks down. I can't understand why it's happening. I've done the tracert/pingpath bizzo as recommended on the forums here and apart from quite a few hops from Australia to Splitpaw, and some 300ms+ ping times it looks ok to me. Certainly not bad enough to account for such a disparity.</p><p>Any thoughts?</p><p>Windows IP Configuration Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : *** Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . : Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Unknown IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : NoEthernet adapter Local Area Connection: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Realtek RTL8168/8111 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : ------------------------- Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.1.1.2 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 10.1.1.1 DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.1.1.1 DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220 Lease Obtained. . . . . . . . . . : Friday, 12 December 2008 3:50:33 PM Lease Expires . . . . . . . . . . : Sunday, 14 December 2008 3:50:33 PMTracing route to amseq2-03-01.everquest2.com [195.33.139.96]over a maximum of 30 hops: 1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms 10.1.1.1 2 14 ms 14 ms 14 ms nexthop.vic.ii.net [203.55.229.88] 3 14 ms 14 ms 15 ms gi1-2.mel-pipe-bdr1.ii.net [203.215.6.22] 4 30 ms 31 ms 31 ms po2.mel-pipe-bdr2.ii.net [203.215.20.139] 5 137 ms 200 ms * gi0-15-1-3.syd-stl-core1.ii.net [203.215.20.74] 6 30 ms 31 ms 30 ms te0-13-0-0.syd-ult-core1.ii.net [203.215.20.128] 7 30 ms 29 ms 29 ms 202.139.19.33 8 189 ms 188 ms 191 ms 203.208.148.89 9 188 ms 190 ms 188 ms te-4-2.car2.SanJose1.Level3.net [4.79.42.229] 10 201 ms 200 ms 196 ms vlan99.csw4.SanJose1.Level3.net [4.68.18.254] 11 204 ms 190 ms 196 ms ae-94-94.ebr4.SanJose1.Level3.net [4.69.134.253] 12 269 ms 260 ms 269 ms ae-2.ebr4.NewYork1.Level3.net [4.69.135.186] 13 257 ms 271 ms 269 ms ae-74-74.csw2.NewYork1.Level3.net [4.69.134.118] 14 261 ms 259 ms 263 ms ae-71-71.ebr1.NewYork1.Level3.net [4.69.134.69] 15 337 ms 329 ms 338 ms ae-44-44.ebr2.London1.Level3.net [4.69.137.77] 16 348 ms 343 ms 342 ms ae-2.ebr2.Amsterdam1.Level3.net [4.69.132.134] 17 343 ms 341 ms 341 ms ge-11-0.ipcolo1.Amsterdam1.Level3.net [4.68.120.41] 18 336 ms 341 ms 335 ms vl155.amsixsw-1.sonyonline.net [213.244.164.38] 19 338 ms 338 ms 338 ms 195.33.139.96 Trace complete.Tracing route to amseq2-03-01.everquest2.com [195.33.139.96]over a maximum of 30 hops: 0 *** [10.1.1.2] 1 10.1.1.1 2 nexthop.vic.ii.net [203.55.229.88] 3 gi1-2.mel-pipe-bdr1.ii.net [203.215.6.22] 4 po2.mel-pipe-bdr2.ii.net [203.215.20.139] 5 gi0-15-1-3.syd-stl-core1.ii.net [203.215.20.74] 6 te0-13-0-0.syd-ult-core1.ii.net [203.215.20.128] 7 202.139.19.33 8 203.208.148.89 9 te-4-2.car2.SanJose1.Level3.net [4.79.42.229] 10 vlan99.csw4.SanJose1.Level3.net [4.68.18.254] 11 ae-94-94.ebr4.SanJose1.Level3.net [4.69.134.253] 12 ae-2.ebr4.NewYork1.Level3.net [4.69.135.186] 13 ae-74-74.csw2.NewYork1.Level3.net [4.69.134.118] 14 ae-71-71.ebr1.NewYork1.Level3.net [4.69.134.69] 15 ae-44-44.ebr2.London1.Level3.net [4.69.137.77] 16 ae-2.ebr2.Amsterdam1.Level3.net [4.69.132.134] 17 ge-11-0.ipcolo1.Amsterdam1.Level3.net [4.68.120.41] 18 vl155.amsixsw-1.sonyonline.net [213.244.164.38] 19 195.33.139.96 Computing statistics for 475 seconds...
