( I presume all that actually means something????)

It's telling the pooter to send a test to the GYO site and back again to see how fast it gets there and back. Presumably to see if there's something slowing it down?
A bit like sending your mate to run down the street, ring someone's doorbell, and then run back again.
Is that right TEB?

[TEB]

lol spot on Sarah, nice analogy - mind if I use it

IT geeks when they meet in their caves like nothing better than to make up complete and utter giberish or enforce some pretty weird restrictions, the best one that I came across is this article:

Yer....but we still don't know
a - if Pickie can read it?
b - if someone trips your mate up on the way back....who dunit??? And how?

Hopefully TEB will have some answers - I'm seriously impressed.

Sounds a brill idea TEB!!..fingers X for Piskie

[HotStuff]

ping growfruitandveg.co.uk

Probably worth doing a traceroute too TEB?

[TEB]

Probably worth doing a traceroute too TEB?

Depends on the ping results, if the results were >100ms then traceroute may tell you on what hop the issue is occuring but it may be out of Piskie hands to fix.
If it were happing here I would test on another computer if available, if it happened on the other computer then its either a issue at the broadband router/dialup with DNS/stale packets etc or at the broadband provider DNS servers.
If issue on more than one computer at same location, I would turn off all computers, power down the broadband router - disconnect the phone line from the router, after 15 minutes plug in the phone line and power up the router, wait 2 minutes - test. If still happening a quick test would be to edit the host file on one computer with the address of this web site. If only happening on 1 computer I would delete the cookie just this web site cookie - test - if no then edit the host file to test again.

PS the ip of this site points to servers in Germany and takes about 11 hops depending on network setup
