damn dd, I&#039;m guessing this is why it was taking forever for you to return results for my iperf test. You, you should next try doing a routing test....using a packet capture program that displays the hops from your machine to the server. <br /><br />Not sure if changing dns servers would help at all since this is all ip to ip traffic. I am pondering and trying to remember why a machine would take more hops then it needs to get to certain destinations. <br /><br />Whats you ISP?<br /><br />What is you home router setup?<br /><br />A wild guess from the network god says that routing is messed up possibly on your ISP&#039;s end, this is without actually looking at what is going on.
