I have no idea if it is related or not, but I have been fighting with insight for the last month to get their act together. I have been experiencing really bad connectivity issues. When I started to look closer, I was having really high packet loss, up to 40%. Also really high ping times, from 150ms and way higher from many different sites. I did several tests from broadband reports and was getting anywhere from 750KBps tp 1.5 MBps It fluctuated. Sometimes it would drop out completely for 10 minutes. Pages would load part-way and sit there for minutes before they would complete.
Check your connection. Check it a few times. Mine was intermittent as to how severe the problem was.

Up until, oh, say, 3 weeks ago (at the most), I was having no trouble logging into (via ssh), transferring files from, etc. my computer at home when working on my laptop at work. Now, everything works fine when I'm at home using the internal lan with the internal IP addresses, but I cannot get to anything by using either my dynamic domain name (rising.homedns.org) or the current IP address assigned to me (12.220.208.25). I didn't change any configurations anywhere, so I'm a bit at a loss for the sudden lack of communication. I tried restarting the home computer, the cable modem and the wireless router, but nothing helped (and the IP address remained constant). I tried stopping and restarting all the services that I use on the Sharing preference pane. Yesterday, when I tried to ssh into my home computer, I got timeout errors. Today, I'm getting "connection refused" errors, even though portforwarding is forwarding things to the machine which has the sharing turned on. What gives? Anyone have any trouble-shooting advice?
