Reporting Connection Issues.

When reporting any network related issues (lag, people getting booted out, etc), we really need a MTR run and a PING. This needs to be run at the same time you are experiencing the issue, otherwise it may not capture the issue.

To run a PING:

  • 1. Open a Windows Command Prompt (known as a DOS Prompt in Windows 95/98/98SE/ME).
  • 2. Type the following command (substitute the Hostname or IP Address you want to ping to for the word HOSTNAME below): ping HOSTNAME
  • 3. Copy/Paste the output in an email to us. To Copy, you may need to right-click in the window and select “Mark” to be able to highlight the text.

To run MTR

You can grab WinMTR (the Windows version of MTR) from here: http://winmtr.sourceforge.net

It will be best to let this run continuously in the background while you are trying to catch a Ping Spike or Lag issue. If it’s run continuously, there is a greater chance of WinMTR catching the spike/lag as it’s happening. It should not cause any more lag itself as it’s just an automated traceroute/ping utility, but only run this when you need to trace to a host to look for why you are getting lag or ping spikes. Let it run for quite some time, so you have experienced the issue a few times. Running for 5 minutes (300 packets) is typically a good sample. Running for less than 120 packets (2 minutes) is not a good enough sample.

  • 1. Unzip the archive
  • 2. Double-click the WinMTR.exe file
  • 3. In the “Host” field, type in the Hostname or IP Address of the server you need to trace to
  • 4. Press the “Start” button
  • 5. Since this is being run continuously (as described above) to catch the Lag / Ping Spike, press the “Stop” button after your Lag or Ping Spike has occurred.
  • 6. Press the “Copy Text to clipboard” button
  • 7. Paste the text, and supply your IP Address (that your ISP gave you), into a Support Ticket. You can open a support ticket by logging into Client Care or sending an email to support@guildlaunch.com.

If you cannot run an MTR

If you are somehow unable to run an MTR, the following will provide some information but may not be enough to further assist in debugging a lag issue that may be associated with a router on your route to the server. A WinMTR is the best utility to use for this.

To run a TRACERT:

  • 1. Open a Windows Command Prompt (known as a DOS Prompt in Windows 95/98/98SE/ME).
  • 2. Type the following command (substitute the Hostname or IP Address you want to tracert to for the word HOSTNAME below): tracert HOSTNAME
  • 3. Run that command at least 5 times in a row.
  • 4. Copy all of the output and paste it into an email to us. To Copy, you may need to right-click in the window and select “Mark” to be able to highlight the text.
