And what does this mean and what could explain such a difference?

Your 5 and 6 compares to my 10 and 11... goes through the same servers getting to the front door. But yours takes like 3 times longer getting through the gates than mine does.

You want to look at the ms (milliseconds) numbers. Here's mine:
1 6 ms 7 ms 7 ms 10.40.32.1
2 8 ms 7 ms 8 ms 172.18.98.89

I'm sure this will make sense to someone:

Check http://www.more.net/technical/pingtrace.html for decent info.

And then 28 seconds for #126.

And then the above message was posted in about one second...

By the way, I had forgotten:

>I know you can't get all the way here, but folks might try doing tracert's to see if there are other slow downs in the system between them and the forum firewall.

Could you please explain a little? I would be willing to help, but I have no idea what you are talking about.
