Third. Do a ping test. ping www.bbc.co.uk
use the following command in command prompt.
ping www.bbc.co.uk /t

that is a continues ping and wont stop until you close the window.
keep an eye on the speed. see if it jumps up while playing or browsing web site. a small jump is fine but a large jump and staying up there is not.

I was having network issues a while back and created a simple program to ping a website regularly and plot the resulting time to a graph. It works nicely for isolating when the problems are occurring. For example I found out it was only occurring when my housemate had his netbook on, a polite question later and we found out he had 300+ torrents seeding that he didn't think were causing a problem because he'd already downloaded them

I can put it up somewhere if people want it, it's a tiny exe.

Can an admin take a look and revert this at some point please? Logged in earlier on to see it like that.

Anyway the creeper damage on my spawner can be rolled back as well as the dirt I placed there?

FIRE! Not surprised with all that lava behind it either

ERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Sadly in the time it took to spawn in the portal room, move, press F2, he'd fired and blown up part of the wall...

Oh great, so it can pass through glass now? :/ It's been fine since the server was updated though, just noticed those few bits were gone yesterday.

Kainz · 11 Jun 2011 at 15:03

Lava particles that sprout upwards from the lava can now ignite items above it yes. Happened to me too, where my house pathway had lava under it, and above it a pane of glass, with wooden steps nearby that kept igniting upon 1.6.6 arriving.

Could an admin please whitelist surlywombat? Looks like he's gone through the steps needed to sign up. Ta.

I couldn't really work out where the fire came from but couldn't see anyone doing anything other than you sun.

Gundog48 · 11 Jun 2011 at 16:47

Could you reset the server please, lagging pretty bad!

Tummy · 11 Jun 2011 at 19:48

So Lava can start a fire within 3 blocks is that right and it can burn glass / set it on fire? :/

PixieLandGirl · 11 Jun 2011 at 19:53

It doesn't burn the glass, but the glass doesn't act as a shield against lava or fire either.

Maybe it is meant to represent the fact that the glass conducts so much heat it can cause a fire that way .. maybe it's something Notch over looked ... who knows.

Anyone know of any good lamp/lantern mods?

Interested in replacing torches in some of the more frequently used areas with better looking/more powerful lighting.
