Connection confusion.

I have been having a few problems with my connection, which began when I started getting 600+ pings with NC.

A ping of 62.140.29.50 gets this:

C:\Documents and Settings\Dan>ping 62.140.29.50

Contact your ISP and explain to them what's going on, they should be able to
assist you from there.
