I installed net query tool from this site

They say in order for ping and trace to work, you must chmod those executables on the server itself to 755. Is this safe or a security risk? The odd thing is, ping and trace works fine from dnsstuff.com or any other network tool site.
What is the location of those executables?
I'm looking into knownhost and they offer twice the bandwidth in their California option for the same money. Jay from known host said I should pick the one with the best ping times. I'd like to put the information here so someone might perhaps tell me what my best choice is.
I'll put the stats here and then if you could tell me which one is better (Texas vs. California) that would be great.
But if you think that the times between the two are only marginal (both real good), then could you help me decide about getting double the bandwidth for the same price.
I know nothing of course, but the two data centers look like their both giving great speeds (Texas being better though). But perhaps both speeds are great. If that's the case, can anyone tell me why someone would not take the higher bandwidth offer?
Thanks, I really appreciate any help with this!
Here is the info...

I was wondering if anyone out there knew of any programs out there that can monitor and record ping times to various server IP's and couple output say a simple graph. There used to be this website I used that you could simply go onto there site, and register, and put in your servers ip addresses and it would output a simple graph that showed latency, loss etc for any ip you put into there system and displayed a web based mrtg type graph. I am having some troubles at one of the datacenters that I have some co-located servers at, and would like to show them how much packet loss they are having at a given time, or over say a 24 hour period.

I'm looking for a shared environment where I could ping and trace to my equipment, either from cron or a background daemon which I'd write in perl, python, etc.
I'd also want it located somewhere on the left coast or Texas.
Does anyone know any hosts that would meet the above?
15ms ping vs 40ms ping vs 170ms ping
Which you think is still acceptable for a website?

I have a problem with the traceroute for 72.36.229.84 . Some useres can reatch it, but not all.
I 've attaced 3 routes under that isn't working and 2 that work. Look at the routes that doesn't work, they all stop by gblx.net ( String 9 - 10) Working routes doesn't use gblex.net
My question : What should i do, what can i do ? Is gblex.net the problem ?

My server has been accessible in and out all day.
During these periods of inaccessibility, ping/traceroutes from multiple physical locations around the world show 50-100% packet loss.
During times when the server is accessible, ping times are anywhere from 100ms-700ms and the server does not remain accessible for very long.
I gave my provider traceroutes and pings for those times when it was inaccessible and accessible and they stated it was not on their side. It was on a hop in the middle between me (and apparently everyone else, since multiple locations around the world were used) and my server. They say it is not in their control and they cannot do anything about it.
I am reasonably sure this isn't just me or my VPS. I am on the phoenix node of PrimaryVPS.
The latest traceroute I did showed something new - a router advertisement claiming the TTL was exceeded....
I am still trying to diagnose a problem some members have on my forums, when they load a page it will load a grey screen (my background color) and stop, after 15-30 seconds+ it will finally load the page
i opened a ticket with my server co and they forwared it to the NOC, NOC said it was apache config problem, server co said it was fixed and was due to apache log reaching 2GB limit, logrotate installed
same problem still existed, opened tk with server management co, they tweaked httpd.conf and disabled logs, problem still exists
I asked 3rd management co about it, changed some settings in httpd, said it may be due to ads on the sites, i took out the ads and a stat script
problem still exists, the thing is the problem exists with some users and not others, doing speed tests to the server shows it is very quick, load is low, no i/o wait and i just installed the second GB of memory so memory is fine
this is happeneing to users on seperate forums, one using vB, one using IPB, so it is server/ hardware related, AMD barton 3000, with 2GB ram, nowehere reaching the bandwidth limit or 10mbps port speed limit
any ideas? doing tracerts to the server shows a timeout before the sites IP address, every time, but doing a tracert OUT of the server shows no time outs....
One of the other message boards that I am on has a server at LayeredTech.
Now they said in there they had no issues whatsoever with the network. But when I did this tracert: .....
I run tracroutes to many IPs often, anyoone could whip up a script to run traceroutes by entering IP and hitting enter and ability to cancel the process (as it gets stuck sometimes) and enter another IP to trace to?

The one with the less hops means it's the fastest network from where I'm from? Right?
And is it (less number of hops) more important than lower ping time?

I just moved from PowerVPS to EuroVPS, being located in Europe myself, and was of course hoping for much better ping times. Also EuroVPS advertise themselves with a 30ms ping to most of Europe.
Anyway after my VPS was installed I compared the pings:EuroVPS (85.17.48.162) average ping: 335ms
PowerVPS (69.65.106.19) average ping: 129ms
335ms is of course ridiculously high, and after writing them a support ticket they told me it's probably a latency problem with my ISP
Can you please post the ping you get for 85.17.48.162 (preferably people located in Europe)?
I have configured Nagios on my network 10+ Servers (Linux+Windows) now when i check through http://localhost/nagios everything is ok but only ping command is giving following message :-
Unknown
bin/ping -n -U -w 10 -c 5 x.x.x.x
CRITICAL - Could not interpret output from ping command
and mail me "server down " message
So what is the issue ?
I am able to run this command through command line
./check_ping -H {server} -w 100.0,20% -c 500,50% -p 5
PING OK - Packet loss = 0%
./check_ping -H x.x.x.x -w 300.0,80% -c 500.0,100% -p 5
PING OK - Packet loss = 0%
I'm running my own OpenVZ server with a few VPS's running on it and have a small network issue.
I can't ping any VE from the HN. All the other networking is working ok (strangely I can ping the HN from the VE) apart from this. It's a simple setup with one network card connected to the internet.
OpenVZ the latest stable version running on CentOS 5.2
I'm pretty sure it's not a firewall problem but is something to do with arp or routing and one of the settings in sysctl.conf
Has anyone else seen this?
Does it matter?

My sites are up when I go to http and there is no slowdown but my monitors (panopta and pingdom) say that there is an outage in ping (only in ping, http is up). I tried pinging the server and there are packet loss up to 100% but the site is still up. I also used other online pinging tools (all-nettools.com, dnsstuff.com, etc.) and host unreachable.
I tried contacting the provider but they say there are no network problem at this time. So I found this other site that's also hosted on the same provider and I can access their site but fails on ping.
My server ping keeps disconnecting
However my ssh & website is smooth running!
When i type "service iptables stop", the ping runs just smoothly.
I have CSF installed in the server, like any other server using default configurations. I believe it has something to do with selinux? (or not?)
