Full Tilt Poker wants me to run a few \"connection tests\" yay or nay?
Hi,
I sent an email to FTP bitching about the lag that occurs while playing. They told me run two tests: The first one is this: [ QUOTE ] We would also like you to run a trace route and send it back to us, so that we have more information regarding your connectivity. Just follow these steps: - Click on 'Start', and select 'Run...'. - Type "command" and press 'OK'. - A black window with a blinking cursor should open. - Type: cd \ (that's CD space backslash) - Press Enter. - You should now see only ' C:\> ' in the black window. - Type: tracert 66.212.235.130 > FTPtrace.txt - Press Enter. - You will not see anything happen on the screen. Wait at least 2-3 minutes, if the test is not complete and you do not see the c:\>, press CTRL+C. Doing it this way will output the information we need into a file called FTPtrace.txt. If done correctly, you can go into 'My computer' then select the 'C:\' drive by double clicking. Once in there, you should be able to see the file FTPtrace.txt [/ QUOTE ] The second one is this: [ QUOTE ] Also, we would like you to run a "DirectX Diagnostic". Here's how you'll do so: - From the desktop, click Start and then select Run. - Type "dxdiag" in the run box (without the quotes) and click enter. - Let the progress bar in the lower left finish going across. - When it is done, click "Save All Information". - This will open a window asking you where to save the text file it is creating. Choose your desktop. - Reply to this e-mail with that file attached. [/ QUOTE ] Are these tests safe for me to do? Will they breach my privacy? |

It'll be fine.
-Sam edit: I suppose if you're using a proxy that you don't want them to know about, this would reveal that. |

I am going through this same procedure with FTP. My disconnects/lags started last week. I thought I was the only one having trouble.
