Re: FreeBSD and DSL CONNECTIVITY ISSUES,
To All, We are running a server using FreeBSD and have been experiencing DSL connectivity issues from our customers. Our pages are basically all HTML and some Java applets. Customers are reporting issues such as; Recently I've noticed that your site operates very slowly. When I am surfing at , the speed gradually decreases until it won't navigate at all anymore. sometimes even breaks my dsl connection somehow and I have to re-start my computer. One one occasion it actually crashed my machine and caused it to re-boot. These issues are not occurring when visiting other websites. Any ideas? Does anyone have any further thoughts on this issue? Any information in the log files? You could enable PPP logging (see ppp manpage if you are actually using it). Did you control the serverload and/or networkload? Tools such as KDE's ksysguard(d) or gkrellm could help you. They are available from the ports. Also, please supply version-info. If you are very new to FreeBSD you might want to check the handbook at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/. -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging more http://www.gmx.net +++ Bitte lächeln!

Re: FreeBSD and DSL CONNECTIVITY ISSUES,
To All, I did fail to mention that we are using FreeBSD Version 4.5 !

There's really not much advice that anyone can give you without considerably more information. I don't know why you've obfuscated the URL in question, as that URL would allow people to test the situation and (possible) give you the exact reason for the problem. If you have some legit reason for not telling this list the URL, you're going to have to provide a LOT of information, as well as tcpdumps of sessions, etc... I can tell you one thing ... it's not possible for your web server to cause anyone's computer to reboot. If this is really happening, then the coputer that's rebooting is so broken that it would be pretty silly to blame the problem on your web site. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

My guess is your Java code has something in it which causes some VMs to degenerate into badness. This is not to say your Java code has bugs, but many VMs do. I can't see how your server would be involved in this sort of problem. I'd gather data on the VMs installed on the machines of the folks who complain. -- Pete Gontier http://www.pete.gontier.org/ Worcestershire sauce?Ketchup?What a suckers! -- Kikkoman To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

One option is to force the VM used by using the Sun Java plug-in. It supports all of the popular platforms.

I can't see how your server would be involved in this sort of problem. I'd gather data on the VMs installed on the machines of the folks who complain. I should clarify. People I've talked to who've worked on Java VMs say they get a bad rap. They blame the perception of applets as being unstable on browser developers, who supposedly do a bad job of hosting applets. I have no idea whose side to take on that issue, but gather data on which browsers are causing trouble as well and you may learn something. Another thing to look at since it seems that the problem is isolated to DSL clients is how those clients are connecting to DSL. If most of them are using a USB-to-DSL device, consider whether their driver is having a bad interaction with Java, etc. -- Pete Gontier http://www.pete.gontier.org/ One of her recent paintings, 'Interring the Terrier', 1993, which appears to show a small headless dog being stuffed inside a red armchair by two frogs and a sardine, sold at auction for $21,000 -- a record price... -- Busch and Silver, Why Cats Paint, p55 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
