I ran pathping from their location to our ftp server. Things moved along nicely and then about 12 hops or so in, ping response times went way up and packet loss was 100%. Now try explaining to someone that a router on some backbone ISP hundreds of miles away from their location was the probable cause... -- rk -----Original Message----- From: profoxtech-boun...@leafe.com [mailto:profoxtech-boun...@leafe.com] On Behalf Of Michael Madigan Sent: Thursday, September 13, 2012 4:11 PM To: profoxt...@leafe.com Subject: Re: [NF] all of a sudden pop3 not working, client losing mind Thanks Richard ----- Original Message ----- From: Richard Kaye <rk...@artfact.com> To: "profox@leafe.com" <profox@leafe.com> Cc: Sent: Thursday, September 13, 2012 4:00 PM Subject: RE: [NF] all of a sudden pop3 not working, client losing mind Pings are not always conclusive as routers can be configured to not respond to them. Having said that, they are useful as a general connectivity test. I like using pathping in later versions of Windows. It's a combination of ping and tracert. Shows you all the hops between your location and the site you're trying to get to and then does a little statistical display. -- rk -----Original Message----- From: profoxtech-boun...@leafe.com [mailto:profoxtech-boun...@leafe.com] On Behalf Of Michael Madigan Sent: Thursday, September 13, 2012 3:20 PM To: profoxt...@leafe.com Subject: Re: [NF] all of a sudden pop3 not working, client losing mind [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/5052658b.8020...@ggisoft.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
