Hi,

A ping is fundamentally a MS-DOS command that allows you to test whether a network node is responding (either on the Internet or on a local network).
If the node is active, it responds. A ping command sends 4 packets and the node returns as many.

For each packet sent, the command also measures the time it takes for the node to respond (in ms).

Specifically, when your PC tries to communicate with a server (for gaming, for example), there is a certain time delay between a command and its response: there can be a 100ms delay between sending a request and the server's response: this is what is referred to as "ping" in games, for example.

And you can't modify it!!!

finally yes but no

you can't modify it but you can improve it, so here are the little things

- take the player offer proposed by FT
- move 50 meters away from the DSLAM :)

And normally if you don't have a crappy phone line you should have a ping of 10 or less

Seen like that, it's true, but I don't think moving is an economically good solution lol!  Anyway, I think we agree on the rest!

"It is originally a MS-DOS command" ...
Written like that, it's very shocking ...
Microsoft never invented TCP/IP any more than the tools that go with it ... It was Mike Muusse in 1983 who wrote the first ping (Packet InterNet Grouper) and as far as I remember DOS was at versions 2 or 3 ... Well before Microsoft's support for TCP/IP.

"A ping command sends 4 packets and the node sends back as many."
You can send as many as you want...

Nicolas4980 · Answer

Of course Gordius!

I completely agree, it was about simplifying and I expressed myself poorly as you said: "it is basically a DOS command"!
(I could have translated: you can ping with a DOS command...)

Anyway, since you didn’t say anything about the rest, I guess it’s coherent enough! lol

Hello, When I try to connect to Counter Strike, it tells me Your ping is too high " Votre ping est trop haut "  I can't figure out what that means!

silfali · Answer

Well, that means your ping is too high, which means that the data exchanges PC>server>PC are too slow (too many milliseconds of travel), and if the exchange time is too long, you're out of sync with other players, and that's called "lag"...

Personally, I used to have a ping of 100, but for the past 2 days (in Counter-Strike), my ping has gone up to 200...

Does it necessarily come from my connection, or can their server also slow down?

*excuse me, I got a little tangled up, I play Soldier Front, not Counter-Strike... but it's the same game except Soldier Front is free...

Hello, I wanted to tell you that I play Soldier Front and I play quite often.
One day I logged into the game and it showed me 500 ping and I didn't do anything to get that, and I don't like it.
So before I barely had 80 ping. Those who want to help me, send me a message via email.
