Go with the NIC. USB can have more than one dissadvantage. Among these if you unplug it from the computer and plug it in to a different slot your reloading the drivers. NIC's are more dependable and faster

OK Here it goes. Yes it is beter to use rg-6
rather than rg-59. That having been said...
lets get the rest of the story. What were the levels in your apartment. (Did they check?? ) Is there a spliter out side the building, in the crawl, atic. Did they take the modem to the TAP to see if it came up ...

Pikap39

yes, I would consider that slightly slower than norm. Im sure that you have tweaked, but have you checked with anyone in your area.

I couldnt agree more. I thought the whole point behind broadband was to alow us to do more faster. Now they want to limit you to the same amount you were able to get done before, in less time. I agree that is petty. Caps are bad enough...that is beyond

I would like to see more wirles threads started. This is something that i have been getting into, in house and would like to see some others ideas and opinions on the subject. Of the availabloe wirles routers out there, I'm about to plop down abot $1'000 on the D-Link wirles sytem DI-714. Has anyone ...

look guys these arguments are pointless. Ive been with @home going on 5 1/2 years and they have never come down on me for hosting a game of ages or quake. On the other hand I've never left ethier game up on an open server. The name of the game is SHARE. If you abuse it you loose it and get to go ...

Pikap39

I agree Napster, mIrc, Bear share, etc...@Home bounced 400 pepole in CA due to serve violations. All they did was over youse Napster.

I forgot to mention that little script slows ya down more than it will speed ya up. Sure ya get to see the rest of the people on your node, but we just went over why you wont be doing that any more now. Didn't we......LOL

The argument here is who is right. The awnser is @Home. @Home's AUP is above all others The aup you are qouting is ATT's it works in conjuction with @Home. While ATT may not state that Servers are against the rules @Home does,If you want the privalage PAY for it. Be considerate and use residential ...

Most of the cable here in the states is partial fiber already. You see it more in the cable side, but it is present in the bells and PSTN's. The key is going to be in the engeniering of an afordable end user product. It would take some effort and serrious money to put fiber up to a house and we will ...

did the e-mail they gave you ever work or did it just recently stop working. If its recent try pinging the mail server. If you get a response try using the numerical value instead of the name in the server properties. If It has never worked call the provider and ask them to repush it tand verrify ...

I have see HP rigs creat exsessive traffic on a network for no aparent reason. I did not however find out what was causing it to happen.

Pikap39

I hate to say this but sounds to me like you gat a DUD. Call again and get a real tech!!

Pikap39

I do know that Cox Comunications already runs an independat system in Paris, Texas.

Pikap39

splitting the cable can cause problems. It is however more likely that the problem something other that that. As they said before it has to due with integrity and signal strength. Can you find out what your signal to noise is, and the signal level. These are important factors. As far as splitting ...

Pikap39

Dont worry so much about the content, worry about the provider( or backbone). If the cable or dsl provider is doing well your service is insured. @Home may be going by the way side. So what! What we really want is the connection. Which is actually provided by the cable or phone company in your area ...

dl at average of 2850 Kbps. Up at about 280 Kbps on Cox@home in Virginia.

i posted a question about this earlier in the week myself if you have any luck let me know. Some of the things that i have tried with out success are. update IE to 5.5, remove IE to 4 (or 5) rebuild it to IE5.5. Rebuild stack. set static. try different DNS servers. New NIC..... new I.P.....set ...

Pikap39

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this is common. Until they get the upgrade done in your area.How long will it take them that is prety much determined by the size of the town you live in and what the state of the cable plant is in. It could take to months to two years.

Pikap39

Im just making sure, your asking if i can ping out to any numerical address? correct! If so i belive i answered that question.Yes i can ping out. I know that it a DNS error. What im trying to determine is if there is a fix. The problem is with the end user not the server. I can check that. Plus i ...

Pikap39

yes it is download speed and not that of just a web page. The question is can your provider and or your system sustain the connection. 100 to 300 kili Bytes or 800 to 2400 bits can and will vary greatly by server and time of day.

Pikap39

anybody else got any ideas. I really dont want to have to tell these people to reformat. Thanks

Pikap39

Yep thats what we thought to. If you put it in static,no go. also a diferent computer on the same conection works. I agree it like the DNS server(s) were down but its not. This is isolated to windoze or IE.

Ok this one got me. Has anyone had an issue with a system not being able to hit a web page. Here's the lay out.At a command promt cang ping out to gateway, DHCP server, mail, news as long as you use the ip address. When you ping the name you get unknown host. Ive had this problem several times with ...

hey sieZe,
Sorry it took me so long to get back. First i was an @home tech prior to my current job. (not in your area). Im sorry that the guys in your area are stupid and or lazy, but it happens. I cant apologize for the way cable operators work.

As for my last post. no i dont think that you have ...

sieZe it could be a random spike in your s/n, transmit, time of day, to hot. get what i mean. I havnt followed you before so fill me in on the details. ie has anyone been to your house. are you on cable or dsl. To me it sounds like someoneelse has also got your I.P. it happens they should be able to ...

Pikap39

The card can easily support faster speeds than that. its possible that yours is bad. Also check you registry settings, the cap on service in your are. and last but not least that the cable in your area is affecting performance

Pikap39

I agree about the software. its crap. but then some people insist on using netscape 6.......ouch that hurts :o As far as the caps its my opinion that it really does depend on hte size of your local cable system. the bigger it is the more likely you are to be capped. The object for them is how many ...

another option to fix those errors is to uninstall everything to do with the modem. reboot. get Norton works run it to fix windows problems. it will correct those there errors. reboot. pluging modem. install software....

Pikap39

quick question have you had the service prior to this and has an installer ever been to your house.

the 192.168.100.1 diagnostic through the http is usually for the sb3100. whether or not the web page accsess works id determined by the firm ware. dont ask wich firm wre model you need i dont know.

the signal stenghts dont work that way. the guy paded your connection because he felt the signal was to high. This overdriving can cause coruption. The same can happen to the upstream unfortunately when you pad the downstream you spike the upstream. the reason your up and down are different is ...

I'll look that stuff up and get back with you tomorrow. Plus have you checked the earlier conversations. there is a dead connections post from erlier today might try some of those......What isp are you with

or as he said its packet loss and ther just lieing to you......

Pikap39

this is going to sound nutzzzz. Ask your ISP to check if the Katelin, (forgive my spelling)that they use to check the reverse in the headend is properly filltered from the modem carriers. we had this problem once and it threw everybody out of wack. If you need more details let me know ill go through ...

Pikap39

personally its trial and error. if you dont see any noticable difference go back to dynamic

Pikap39

They can see the router if they bother to look, most of the software is designed to look for extream useage.Not how many. If you have 2 or a hundread computers as long as the usage is not on the top users list you should be fine.... As for the modem information that we can see. this is strictly to ...
