The TTL is inconsistent and i was wondering how i could fix this because as it turns out when the TTL is 64 i am cut off from the internet.

The twist to this is that although browsing and email etc don't work games like Counter Strike do

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

What have you posted? 1) Servers to not change IP address mid-ping and 2) 169.254.xxx.xxx is not a "real" IP address.

Oops sorry, the "other" ip is actaully the ip of the host computer, i didn't realise i forgot to post it.

That seems to be the actual problem. I did the same ping and the host had no problems with the consistency, they were all
