Connectivity

I am getting kicked off of eSERVER or it seems that I am having problems connecting to the server.
This can often be due to a breakdown somewhere in the connection between your location and eSERVER. Because the internet has a series of hops, routers, and switches, a single breakdown within the chain can have a large effect on connecting to servers.

To test your connectivity to eSERVER, you should try a trace route by doing the following:
  1. Get to your DOS prompt. It can be found in your start menu and may be labeled as "MS-DOS" or "Command Prompt" depending on the version of Windows you have.

  2. Type: tracert run.applications.eserver.com (Then press Enter)

  3. You will begin to see the various hops between your location and eSERVER. The number will appear in milliseconds (ms). The lower the numbers, the faster the time between hops.

  4. If you get an asterisk (*) it means that there is a breakdown at that location. Depending if it is your ISP or one of their providers, you may want to contact them to try and remedy the problem. This could prohibit you from connecting to eSERVER.

  5. If you get the message "request time out" there could be a few different problems. If this is the case, try contacting us by phone.
Is there a way to improve the performance of my connection to eSERVER?
Citrix has a document published in their Knowledge Base that explains how to change registry settings in order to improve performance over the internet or WAN link. This modification is for Windows 2000 and only recommended for advanced users. Modifications to your registry are at your own risk. Click here for the document ID# CTX757449.
