How to solve request timed out? And why am I getting this error?

router internet-connection ping traceroute

72.14.223.145 would appear to be a Google router. If the timeouts are happening in Google's network, there is not much you can do about it, but Google being who they are they'll likely fix the problem very quickly. Google cares deeply about network speeds.

If the problem is actually happening at 61.95.240.129 or its sister IP addresses, that's Airtel, an Indian ISP. I would expect them to respond quickly as well, because they will lose both paying customers and network peers if their network isn't functioning well. You might notify them.

The problem definitely is not in your own network or router or modem.

merge keep Think different I like to look for alternatives to solving every problem, and evaluate how it can be used to improve previous solution. This might not end in the best solution always. But still i get my knowledge which I can use it for other problems Work Hard on known issues Though reinventing a wheel is not appreciated mostly by people. I consider the time spend there would be helpful on knowing what exactly has troubled before wheel was invented and use its knowledge to invent a better alternative to wheel. What Drives me? There is never a perfect solution for a problem for eternity, as time passes new flaws emerge for every perfect solution of the time. Also, I Try to Help the Needy. As others mostly will never appreciate the effort you give to them

I am having issue with my net connection. My net connection gets disconnected at times. Online gaming faces lagging issue.

It was 1st noted after modem firmware was updated by the ISP (airtel-broadband). And I am not sure what is causing this net issue. I am having a netgear WIFI router(but my machine is connected to router through cable) and a Beetel 110TC1 modem (cable only).

All the firewall are disabled from pc , router, modem is Windows XP SP3.

I tried setting static ip to my router(192.168.1.2) with respect to Modem(192.168.1.1) - the configuration was successful but the problem still exists about the lag.

Then I tried setting DMZ for my modem. But the configuration was a failure as my internet was totally blocked.

You haven't said what your issue is! There's no obvious problem with anything you posted.

@Babu From your traceroute results, the bottleneck doesn't seem to be at your local area network. You might want to switch your firewall back on and contact your ISP to get a line quality check.

@jin what are the 3 columns of time shown in traceroute?
Jin over 12 years

@Babu They refer to the time taken for a single hop between each host from you to the destination.
Naveen Babu over 12 years

@jin will this tracerouter issue explain ping test results. Since all the time traceroute test completed, even though some server gave request time out in traceroute. I am trying to attain more details from your observation, since I would like to give the right info to the ISP. They are a bit reluctant in accepting problems a bit complicated :(
