Solve : Long and bad traceroute?

Answer»

Hi sometimes it takes a while to load web pages and sometimes I get a high ping on games.  So I ran tracert on a server and came up with this as the result:

Tracert AUTOMATICALLY closes at number 16 for some reason.

I run Win XP, I use AVG, Spyware Search and Destroy, Adaware SE, Spyware Blaster, and I use Mozilla Firefox.

Can anyone help me stop my computer going via these dubious sites please? That's about par for the course.

You're on dialup I take it?No I'm adsl 1.5 mb in Australia.  I read that there is something wrong when the traceroute suddenly jumps up to 3 digit numbers.  Also "asianetcom" and "cogento.com" sound dodgy to me or are they normal? Quote

The problem does appear to start there.
Has this been going on for long?
Maybe the gate just has some problems at the moment.Track them down & SEND an email of complaint.

Exactly what did you trace?

So do I.

You can not expect to have a decent ping when connecting to a server somewhere in Japan or China. Especially not with all the secret atomic data being exchanged all the time.I traced a server in Europe - it's the same one all the time for consistency in my tracerts.  What I mean is that sometimes instead of a ping of 300 (AMERICAN servers) I get like 500 on the same server.

I've had the problem for a while but never did anything about it.

I don't want to email some dodgy group with my real email address - that's asking for trouble!

Is there any way to bypass asianetcom?

Isn't something called "Webcontrol.demarc.cogentco.com" a bit dodgy too?You have no virus or spyware infections?Have a look here. http://www.internettrafficreport.com/main.htm
You might find the problem.I used AVG, Ad Aware, Spybot S&D, and Trend Micro online scan to check my computer.  Trend Micro found 2 data miners (cookies) but that was all.

2k Dummy unfortunately I'm not a computer expert and so I don't understand how that link helps me? Quote

That's two too many!You could try running through the 'Jap' proxy server for browsing but I don't know if you can get it to work with online games.Raptor I often delete all my cookies anyway but my problem is that I'm sure I shouldn't be going through Asianetcom which is causing the sudden jump thing (but I'm not an expert).

Also I don't understand what you mean by running through the Jap proxy server?


Is there a way I can skip PAST Asianetcom in my traceroute and thereby fix the problem?  This may direct you through alternative routes & improve your browsing speeds.
