@Hungrysnoop There are several hopes not reporting information over ptks r/s and ping best and worse, I would recommend showing this information to your ISP and seeing if setting up a static IP is possible to see if you continue to have issues. Illium.png

@Hungrysnoop Sorry I should have said hops, sorry for the confusion that generated, and by that each place you 'hop' through to get to our servers is a new line in the UOTrace. Most of them weren't giving info for the pkts r/s or best/worst ping times which might indicate that your networking is having to get routed through different points on it way to our server and a lot of those points aren't responding or aren't passing along the packets the game sends and receives for online play.

For your second question, Those are different. An IP address can be considered the name of your device (so your PC in this case) to other computers and the internet. A dynamic IP means its IP address can change, so if you look at your router setting for your home internet you may see it shown as some like 10.10.10.11 one day then 10.10.10.12 the next. But a DNS is kind of like a big conversion book for the computers so they can go from us calling something like 'google.com' into something like 10.10.10.10 (not an accurate number). The DNS you use can be one from your ISP or an open one like Googles, A Dynamic DNS is a way of updating the information a DNS has. Illium.png
