Re: [Internet] High latency in world of warcraft

My ping is normally around 20ms. But some times it suddenly goes up to 2000ms.
Here is the traceroute:

I'm curious as to where you're getting that IP address from, because Blizzard's IPs are usually registered to them:
»whois.domaintools.com/206.18.98.188
and that IP address isn't:
»whois.domaintools.com/63.240.161.189

Can you log into wow fully, pull up a command prompt, and do
netstat -an
Find any connections on port 1119 or 3724.

For example, I see

  TCP    192.168.1.2:62719      12.129.206.130:1119    ESTABLISHED
  TCP    192.168.1.2:62720      206.18.98.187:3724     TIME_WAIT
  TCP    192.168.1.2:62721      206.18.98.188:3724     ESTABLISHED
  TCP    192.168.1.2:62723      206.18.98.187:3724     ESTABLISHED
 

Hello,

Thank you so much for your reply. But it seems that after closing some feature of the game, now it's back to normal for today. I guess I will leave it for now to see if it will go back. I got the address from their website which is the host ip for their server in Chicago which hosts the realm I'm in.
