    The WB IP Helper shows me min/max 100/3000, a DOS-ping 80/150, both on same IP`s.

    Somebody who can explain the difference?

    Don't make DOS (Denial of Service) pings! ;)

    The difference is that Launcher shows something like game ping, while TCP/IP ping shows protocol packet bounce time. IMHO.

    i thought, fh-launcher shows pingtime to target AND back, the double way.
    and dos shows the pingtime one-way??

    i remember when FH launcher was launched ( ;) ) they said "Exec>that Launcher shows something like game ping".
    i believe in that.

    but i get confused.. if thats the game ping, what is ".pingtest"? the game ping of the game ping?

    got an answer.
    first ping is TCP/IP service.
    second ping is handmade test by Farid and Aike.
    third ping is IEN's feature with unknown logics.

    So I can choose the ping with the best result to tell it to other pilots how good is my connection <img src="graemlins/znaika.gif" border="0" alt="[Znaika]">

    Some weeks ago Ivan said .pingtest gives the real game ping. I understand that is the time that game data actually passes. When I connected through http-proxy recommended to me by illo the FHL ping decreased slightly while the .pingtest was cut in half.

    PS: The list of http-proxies is at beacon.here.de. Could anyone tell me which is the best one? Or I have to try all?
