I think this thread should be stickied and a lot of the outdated stickies should be removed.

reasons are mentioned previously. and personally, ive handles registries on a daily basis and have been playing around with regedit since the year 1997ish on my pentium pro 200mhz windows 95 pc. (later upgraded to windows 98se), not really a tough thing to do TBH, and even if its, the internet is filled with guides and how-to's.

Added on December 17, 2007, 2:38 pmif your pc can end up to some recycler collector or something, its certainly not hard to find another junk pc, provided ur going for that method anyways. what the linux VM really needs is a dual core processor, and thats what almost everyone is running on nowdays. RAM wise, people are usually running 1gb and thats good enough. unless you run on 512mb pc's then dont even say VM, your WoW would also take a toll on performance.

and no, im not really concerned about anything, just providing free and accurate information. taking it or not does not concern me. just like how you guys can remove the registry, its not hard to NOT run the VM at all (dur!) or even uninstalling it. but ill still be running it on/off after patch to see if it still makes a difference. as i have huge doubts with blizz making a perfect latency fix. afterall, it took them 3+ years for it to happen.

I wish I have low ping to pull off what this guy is doing:

http://files.filefront.com/shs+0001wmv/;92...;/fileinfo.html

Just try to setup the feather linux and make the routing. But after this, I facing a problem. I can connect to login server but when going to the screen choose character, is stuck and cant connect. After few sec is prompt a screen to choose server. Is it any command I type wrong?

After I deleted the IP Route on windows cmd. Is can connect back.

Please help!

the route isnt forwarded properly, either check from windows, or your feather linux. make SURE the console is running when you are using this/playing Wow

the data packets of your server is basically stuck in between ur pc and the linux VM

Can work now, thanks!

THis is really work on mine, 300-400ms instead of 500-600ms

btw, check on ur router port forwardings/firewalls too, *MAY* probably lower ur pings even more!

sorry for the noob questions

im using win xp, and wanted to have linux (ubuntu) with it. so, i have to dload VMware for windows or for linux?

for window

ty!

The fact that this fix WORKS means that all these years we were blaming TMnet, its not their fault that we suffer from bad pings.

Oh the irony of it all.

I'll be the first to apologize to them.

With VMware+Debian, i get 300-350ms (used to be >1k), any IP address i use, any time of day, rain or shine.

if anything, id go with blizz more than tmnut screamyx.

while this solves WoW, it doesnt solve my other website/downloads/torrents etc. heck im paying additional cash for VPN services just to get good torrent speeds thanks to their secretive torrent throttle. so no, tmnut screamyx continues to bear the blame.

the linux thingy works with direct connection (sh1tmyx modem -----> PC)?

how to revert back all these config to normal?

i mean the one we edit in winxp/vista command editor.
'route -p ADD wowipaddress MASK 255.255.255.255 192.168.1.30'

i cant connect to the server i wrote in above command now.
btw, im using direct connection from modem to PC.

yes it works. and if ur route is not properly done, you cant connect

you can type just route, and follow the ms dos commands to delete the previous route that you set, and re-set another route

ok nice, thx
hmmm it seems like my debian/vmware cant connect to internet.

ur dsl modem need to set it to router mode to have the connections routed (tmnut modems usually have crappy built in routers)

pure direct connection im not sure how it would work, but you'd have to change some settings in ur linux VM id assume.

hey guys good new... y dun u all try search the WoW official forum under the Hunter section, there's sum1 teching how to lower our ping by changing some registry in our window. i found out it's working. my ping from 400~500 drop to 300 sumthing... early in the morning like 6 7 am i get less than 200ms. try it out.

This thread should be stickied!

The registry didn't work for me, so I tried the first VM solution.

So far so good! My ping gone from >1000 to 200-300ish.

Awesome!

BTW, new WOW player here!

hmm. ok. using router mode now. can u teach me using feather? (just downloaded feather)

feather is much more easier than debian.

feather included all the tools you need where else debian you need to manually download/install/configure the modules. for linux noobs such as myself, it would be a PITA XD

and good to know ur having fun with ur VM
