Time Problem

[Admiral Michael]

Hey All,

just noticed this problem on my server and I'm not sure how to go about fixing it.

When using ping I get:

Reply from 192.168.0.104: bytes=32 time=-11490811ms TTL=128

When using tracert I get stuff like:

1 4288028951 ms 4288028950 ms 4288028950 ms 64.230.197.19

Notice the times? I don't know if this is a hardware or software (OS) fault or a bit of both.

Please Help Me!

Oh, the way here's the system specs: http://www.michaelsoft.gotdns.com/stats.asp

Have you done bandwidth testing on both machines to the INTERNET as well as INTRANET? Might be a faulty NIC or ethernet cable somewhere in the loop. Are all machines, assuming you have more, suffering this loss pinging the server?

I ran the speakeasy speed test from the server, all normal. Machines can ping the server and get 3-8ms response.

A friend said: "that looks like int underflow on the part of the time value... but what caused it... is a mystery you're gunna have a lot of fun with... s/w not synced with h/w clock?"

So I don't think its a network problem.

I bet it works fine and you just wanted to show off your server specs

do you have any speed problems connecting to your server?

Looks fine from outside 65 MS is typical from me to my gaming buddies in canada. Is this an internal network only problem?

Only time I get this problem is pinging and tracert and maybe any other time something like response is used.

I'd hate to bump a two month old thread but I just wanted to post an update in case someone has a similiar problem.

I still don't know what is causing the odd times but it is hardware based as a reformat has not fixed it. I would be due to one CPU (Dual CPU machine) being slightly overclocked (600chip-650MHz speed).

Case you wondering where this came from, I was going through my subscriptions and figure Id update it before I delete the subscription.
