Hi, I'm having a bit of a problem with my connection, specifically to the iRacing service. Totally randomly I will start timing out from the server, completely out of the blue. Most of the time it comes back to life before it disconnects, but I have been cut off a couple of times. Obviously this isn't ideal. Up until 2 weeks ago my Internet Connection has been absolutely solid, not a single fault, and my Ping to the iRacing service has always been <125, which is great for connecting to US servers from Scotland. Now though, the ping is often about 140-150, which isn't quite as good.
So, I am working with my ISP (Be Unlimited) to try and find out what's going on. I doubt it's an iRacing problem, my feeling is that there may be a routing issue to the iRacing servers from my ISP somewhere. Another member who runs Be has noticed increased pings aswell, so it's not just me.
Be have got my line being checked, but so far it's coming back absolutely flawless on there end, as far as they can see right now anyway. I've tried everything on my end, up to and including doing a full re-install of Windows today, but the problem is still there.
So, does anyone have any tips for decent network monitoring software? I've tried the MS Network Monitor but it's completely unfathomable, are there any bits of software out there that can look at a specific process, record it's Network traffic and give me a log to look through to hopefully find a problem?
Thanks.
