Title: How far away from a server are you?
Post by: KnacK on March 17, 2009, 09:58:53 AM

Enter the server's ip address in the box, select proxy trace, and it will give you a rough representation of where you are and where the server is and how you are connected.  Unfortunately, even though this visual tool is neat, it stil lroutes through the tool's host.

I'd post mine from the house but it wont reflect the 22,500 miles x2 just for going up to the satellite and back.

Man, I just have to live in one of the worst places to play this game :\.  How does it display the satellite internet then KnacK?

Title: Re: How far away from a server are you?
Post by: KnacK on March 18, 2009, 04:28:30 PM

It doesn't.  It just shows the earth station for the satellite then the isp connectivity.

Use the sever browser.

It takes 14 hops just to get to yougetsignal.com for me. This can be wildly inaccurate, because part of the path to yougetsignal.net may not necessarily (and probably isn't) the same path to the server.

Post by: KnacK on March 20, 2009, 12:21:02 PM

It isnt the same path as if you were to do a tracert from your ip to the server ip.

BUt it's pretty neat being able to see where, geographically, the packets go.
