Seems about right on the whole; my interleaved connection (yes, I'm one of the few who actually need it on!) normally shows a ping around that level.  It's nice and pretty, too!  :D

What ever I do it gives 100% packet loss,the firewall is off, the router is set to respond.I suppose it could be something to do with using Safari on a Mac

This using FF on Vista however I still get 100% packet loss unless I disable SIP ALG on the DG834N , still no go with Safari/Mac with this option disabled

So is mine... but this more typical of my ping results:

I'd always trust a manual test over a site anyday, Bill, I wonder how successful this site will be.
Title: Re: New Ping Tester ?
Post by: Steve on Oct 03, 2009, 10:00:03
Whether its particular to my setup I have on Snow leopard to disable SIP ALG on the router and use Opera to get a result without packet loss.

Anyone worked out what MOS means?
Title: Re: New Ping Tester ?
Post by: Glenn on Oct 03, 2009, 11:31:03
What is MOS and how do you calculate it?

The Mean Opinion Score (MOS) is an indication of the quality of a voice conversation. The MOS ranges from 1 to 5 with 1 being the worst and 5 being the best. The MOS is usually a subjective test where listeners rate sound quality. Pingtest.net uses an algorithm based on the three test components to estimate the MOS that would be typically obtained by a connection with these results.

100% packet loss, thats due to firewall, saying no to incoming for JRE from that source. Turned off windows firewall and router blocks it as well. At least my firewalls work  ;D

Thanks, I'd completely forgotten about!  Removed for now, until I think of something suitably amusing to include.

I wonder if this the same for all Netgears or just the DG834N with SIP ALG enabled, not sure whether this is a security feature or the fact that's its not functioning properly?
