Please Help!! server lag unkown problem star wars the old republic online

ok we need to know a few things about your environment To understand what going on first is your pc wired or wireless to the internet.  There is all kinda of stuff on a network that can make for lag. Just because  you have say Google or internet does not mean you are not having network issue.  First connect to swtor and minimize swtor to do this hit alt+tab at the same time you desktop should be visible

You can access trace route through a Command Prompt. Click the Start Menu and type "cmd" or "command". When the shell opens and you are presented a prompt, type one of the following:

If you play on an East Coast server: tracert 159.153.92.28
If you play on a West Coast server: tracert 159.153.68.252
If you play on a European server: tracert 159.153.72.252

This depends on what server you are located to see that go to the sever selection screen and see if you are east west or any other server.  Once you know what server use the tracert  command to get a read out of the route you take and the ms per hops to the server. 

So say i am on  Jedi Covenant East i would use tracert 159.153.92.28 to see were my lag is

To copy the info from the command window right click and hit select all then hit ctrl+C Then paste it here.
