I'm sure darryl will correct me if I'm wrong but here:

Start - Run - cmd

Then type 'ping ducatimonsterforum.org'


My results:

C:\Documents and Settings\******>ping ducatimonsterforum.org

Pinging ducatimonsterforum.org [208.109.22.144] with 32 bytes of data:

Reply from 208.109.22.144: bytes=32 time=70ms TTL=46

Reply from 208.109.22.144: bytes=32 time=71ms TTL=46

Ping statistics for 208.109.22.144:
    Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
    Minimum = 70ms, Maximum = 71ms, Average = 70ms


So average response time was 70 milliseconds.

I hope thats right.

It's a command line app that use just type "ping www.ducatimonsterforum.org" and it sends tiny packets of info to the server and measures the response time.  Anything under 70 is considered OK, anything under 50 is good and under 30 is friggin outstanding.  On mac you can do this from the Terminal prompt.  On PC you may need to download a piece of software (like Putty, it's free) as I'm not sure if PC has an app comparable to Terminal built-in (I haven't worked on a PC for years in any meaningful way).

<edit>

JBubble has posted the PC instructions for you.  Also helpful would be to do a comparison with dmf and another known quantity like google. If you're getting crappy responses on google then your ISP sucks 'cause Google is always fast.  So, ping away and feel free to post up.

Just FYI

My average time for google was 59ms. The forum is pretty consistently at about 69ms.

Just tried it...google average is 13 ms, DMF average is 31 ms.

Wow, you must have an awesome ISP.  But, that's good news 31ms is a very respectable number.  And being only 18ms behind google (who's probably the fastest on the planet ain't that bad).

This puts us within 10ms of google (which is close to consistent with mine and ms. incredible's findings) and is quite good.  Seems that Ms. Incredible and I just have better ISP's ;)

ping DMF- 90ms
ping google-54ms

and I know my signal strength from my ISP sucks.  We have been fighting with them for over a year to increase our signal strength.   [bang]

It's just AT&T DSL, performance varies at different times.

Notice that both their names start with "sp"....  Very interesting.  As a side note, it seems I'm creating an army of geeks - we shall rule the world!

DMF ping was 28 - 30ms for all except one, which was 110. 16 packets sent....

Google was 79ms.  :-\

Got an "Address not found error" about 1/2 hour ago.

Just ran into some slowness again.

It seems to be when it's navigating within the DMF, like when I click on 'replies' or jump to a different board within the forum.
While it was trying to check 'replies', i pinged and got 52-54ms on a dozen packets.

It's gotten better throughout the day, but is still--about half the time--noticeably slower than navigating other websites. 





It's probably Nate or Nick's fault.  Their names start with "N".

I have broad shoulders...

plenty of room to handle blame.     ;)
