Okay so a follow-on and a problem.

2 days ago on the 21st I pinged 4 servers in the middle of the day and got back nice results ping wise, 50-60s which is fine. Tonight at around 11/12 I got around to pinging them again on a night, while wow was high ping. I disabled wow and everything else and started running the tests, and they all came back with the same pings! (i.e pings were low for those random servers I chose at night, the same time WoW's was high).

Well irritated i decided tom test just my wow server, I finally found the ip from a few mates in game and went about trying to ping it, only thing is it wont let me ping the server...is this something to do with a firewall on Blizzards end protecting the server or is the problem my end?
