No, but fact is, I have high ping on EVERY server in FIRST STRIKE 1.25, however not in Bf2142.
I never had high ping when using First Strike 1.4 and neither while playing regular 2142.
It is not my ISP, however I'm betting it's something with the mod...

Hm, how is your online setup ?

Wireless ?
Are other people using the same router while you are playing ?
Have you open the ports for BF2142 in your routers firewall ?
Try to deselect VOIP in the BF 2142 Audio Options ?
BF 2142 Connection Setting ?

Make a note of the server IP number then open the DOS command prompt. For XP users it's Start - Run - type 'cmd' and press Enter, and it's also in the Control Panel.

In the window type 'tracert' followed by a space then the IP number, then press Enter. It will show you the maximum, minimum and mean ping for each hop to the server, so at least you'll know where the problem is occurring.

If you're getting high ping to all servers, the problem is probably with your ISP. I had a similar problem with Virgin.net in the UK (>200ms ping most of the time), and the only way to solve it was to switch my ISP (to BT Internet for anyone else with the same problem).

I use norton AntiVirus, and have no viruses.
I did turn off all unnecessary programs upon playing.
I have tested my bandwidth and it averages around 7-9 mbit/s.

I still think it has something to do with the latest patch...

Try a few of these tests. If your return results are poor contact your ISP:

Run a virus scan, followed by a spyware scan. If you don't have anything to run these then I reccomend AVG antivirus (free)
Spybot (free)
AdAware (free)

Run them all one at a time and see what gets thrown up and treat as neccessary. Turn off all unneeded programs (ICQ, MSN, IRC you get the idea), and then try again. If its still not working then check your internet speed using one of the many available online tests and see if everything is as it should be. If there is a problem with your speed check with your ISP in case they have throttled your bandwidth due to excessive downloads, or going over your monthly limit if using a capped service.

Ar you playing over wireless? Try plugging directly into the router, that often helps with online gaming.
Have more than one phone socket in the house? Try setting up in a different port, maybe theres a fault in that line.

I now tried playing with incredibly low graphics and on a server with low ping, doesn't matter. I have no idea what's happening. I simply average 600 in ping, no matter what server I use.

Play on a server thats closer to you, that will help with the ping.

But the odd thing is that I've tried it on empty servers and on maps I've played before (with the same graphical settings) without problem, yet as Safe-Keeper says, my ping averages from 200 - 900... Heeeelp!

I've got this problem, too. My ping is generally over 300 and sometimes reaches 1000+. My Internet is kinda slow in general right now for some reason, though, so it's just as likely an ISP/router/whatever problem.

and if its a ping problem, then you might aswell check the server location

Well due to little to no limit to the visibility distance you probably will lag more. Not to mention more players on the server will create a lot more lag. I don't think there's any other advice than to turn your graphics down a little.

Hi all, first post! Love the mod.
Since I downloaded the 1.2 patch (and the hotfix) I haven't been able to play due to excessive lag, and I seem to be the only one affected by it on server, meaning that the problem is probably on my end. I had no trouble with the 1.4 Beta, so what have I done wrong?

I use XP and have
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo - 2 x 2.13 gig
Motherboard: Asus 775 sockel - Vista kompatibelt
RAM: 2048mb
GFX-card: Nvidia Geforce 7900GT - 256mb

Any help is deeply appreciated
