    This is from my friends thread on the WoW forums, he couldn't get any answers there so I was hoping you guys could help him out...

    So I went on a 2 day vacation 3 days ago and took my laptop with me. Before I left my connection to WoW was fine, wasn't having any troubles. I got to my destination and connected to a crappy motorola network (I think it might have been the neighbors wireless router that I connected through because the signal was crappy). While I was there, I couldn't connect to WoW and for awhile I thought it was because of the poor conenction, so I finally ran the command in the help menu (tracert us.logon.worldofwarcraft.com) and realized that at around the 18th hop, I wasn't getting a connection. I assumed it was due to the connection again, and thought nothing of it. I just arrived back home acouple hours ago and attempted to log on to WoW and had the same problem. Unable to connect. This time, my first hop couldn't even connect, and only about 50% of the hops after that made their connections. Just curious as to what could be causing this problem. My computer that is hardwired to my house still runs WoW fine, and that is the same wireless network that I'm connecting to. Any advice would be great. Thanks.

    This is my trace information:

    I assume yo can not ping the site too. Does every thing else work OK?

    May need to reset the Stack? I think you can get the cmd from "ipconfig" with no parameters will give you your options.

    Also flush any cache files, let it start clean.

    Have you tried a system restore to good date?

    No he hasn't done a system restore yet. Thanks for the response, keep them coming. I'll pass that onto him. Thanks again.
