Hi,
three questions: (apologies if you have already answered them)
a)Is it equally bad when you take wireless out of the equation -
like - does a laptop plugged into
the ethernet port experience the same issues?
b)Some cheap modem boxes have very poxy wireless systems.
moving/rotating the laptop can kill a link.
c)have you updated the firmware on the modem box? A colleague bought
one second hand for a cheap
price but it never worked. could ping the ISP, but no further. A
lot of finger pointing - "your fault, not mine"
Firmware update fixed it.
Cheers,
Derek.
p.s. Questions a and b are testament to too much time wasted on playing
with wireless on linux systems. (This
comment about linux systems keeps the list police happy).

I am on Vodafone cable. Some evenings links take so long to come up
that I give up for the night. Just a gut thought that this seems to be
since Vodafone took over Telstra cable. This applies to browsing and
email. Of course a query to their help line brings the usual 'not us'
response.
I have just recently swapped wifi for a link via power mains to my
router but not much improvement.
I do not have the necessary knowledge track the problem down.

OK, cynical paranoid sysadmin's hat on.
I'm on voda ADSL here, and experience random, unexplained delays to
various sites. My gut feeling is that it's the GCSB's monitoring
software getting in the way. It was a great service 6 months ago, and
now it's not.
When you're sat on the target server, waiting for a request to come in
and it's unexpectedly delayed for up to 30 seconds, I certainly look
towards the service provider's kit.
Even the possibility of this makes me nervous about upgrading to a new
plan that locks you in for 2 years - no matter how much it's going to
save me - that's for sure!

Hi all,
Been experiencing an server not found error (this is intermittent)
and occurs
on any website i care to visit (or not).
Apart from checking the physical (like the cable running from the PC
to the D-
link router) what sorts of testing analysis s/w could i run to try
and find the
fault?
From the cable modem I have as mentioned a wireless router (so that
thing
can't go off line - Kids will go spare esp eldest).
Just asked the family and they're experiencing the issues too.
Before i spend money on a replacement wireless router i'd like to
see if i can
isolate it to the router or perhaps the modem.
Vodafone call centre says the connection is fine (been plugged in
for @ 19
days, had turned everything off for a week prior to that and had
experienced
this problem then too.
Dave.
