100% packet loss to a certain server

Hello gang,

 

So before I upgraded from Gen4 to Gen5, my ping when playing the online game Guild Wars 2 hovered around 800 at the best of times. It was expected and I had grown used to it. Now when I ping guildwars2.com via command console, I get 100% packet loss every time. I am wondering what the deal is and if it is fixable.

 

Thanks

    gimmetheloot , could give the trial version of this a try. May not even work on satellite but hey give it a shot: http://www.battleping.com/guild-wars-2-ping.php

     

    May keep latency consistant enough for a decent connection even though satellite delay is much higher even at the lower end than ground based Internet. Does sound like they provide a more direct path to the server.

    I don't know if this will help, as I'm not at all familiar with online video games, but have you tried disabling Web Acceleration?  If not, you can do so at the following... 

     

    http://192.168.0.1/limited.html#!/wac/control  ----  Press the green Web Acceleration button to disable it.  This should only be a temporary solution if it works, though.

      Guild Wars 2 is known to have nothing but issues with Gen5 service...  They say its Hughesnet, and Hughesnet has basically said it's the game.

      No dice. After I disabled web acceleration I decided to click the reboot button at the top of the page. Lost internet for a little bit there and was in a bit of a panic lol. Definitely recommend not doing that.

      Anywho thanks for the replies, both of ya's.
