Dang, I wish I had that Internet connection

For a start, I'd be interested in seeing what your Negalyzr results are: http://netalyzr.icsi.berkeley.edu/

I'm particularly interested in seeing how much latency your upstream and downstream buffers introduce

My apologies, but I find it frustrating when all of the information isn't given in the first post. Had I known that you had moved the access points, then certainly I would have suggested moving them first to rule out interference.

So my suggestions are:

Try rebooting the AP. Does it work for ...

Before I set up my wireless router (WRT110) as an AP I used it as my wired/wireless router exclusively for over a year and never once had the problem I am experiencing now.
but again, I used this laptop with my WRT110 router for over a year with no problems.

Hardware can go bad, you know ...

That port's standard with the vmware products. It's pretty safe, but I'd keep the software up-to-date and block that port from the Internet if possible.

cchooper

Reboot the router and see if it goes back down to <1 ms. What brand/model router? Some of the cheapo routers out there (specifically consumer-grade ones) require a regular reboot.

By the sounds of it, it seems as if your wireless NIC is losing connection to the wireless router (or vice-versa). You'll want to isolate the cause of this. Your choices are:

The wireless router
The wireless NIC

If you can, try another wireless NIC and see if it still happens. Otherwise, I had a ...

I've learned how to subnet logically but I'm confused about how the physical configuration of a subnet looks like.

It doesn't look like anything. The IP layer (where subnetting takes place) is independent of the physical layer. Typically though, each subnet is placed in a separate broadcast ...

Like StoneCat said, DNS takes time to propagate. Once that's done, however, you will need to have your old hosting company remove your domain from their DNS records. Normally this doesn't matter, but since this is your ISP... it really does.

Alternatively, you can set the DNS servers that your ...

That does sound really strange -- A bad cable was my first guess but I see you already covered that. I'd say run through the standard scenario of scanning for spyware, virii, etc, and updating your drivers -- Perhaps it's a known issue that's been fixed.

With this new Windows install I noticed while I'm online surfing the net I'm always sending out packets. When I would watch a YouTube video I would send out packets, when I would visit websites I would send out packets. Now I know some of this is normal but what is no normal is the ratio of sent ...

Mostly from my server here on a pub IP at Interbridge... I use bonded links so it might be something LACP-related. Now that I think about it, the few times I've noticed it have been immediately after restarting that box, so it probably occurs while the links are still negotiating.

Looking for another 36GB Raptor to pair up with my other one. It needs a "mate" :-)

Anybody have 2x 74GB raptors?

I wrote an init-style startup script for Linux. It allows Folding@Home to automatically start in the background on boot and also allows you to easily start and stop the process.

Tested on Ubuntu 7.10, but should work on other Linux distributions as well -- just may need some tweaking :-)

I used to ping Google alot when trying to verify connectivity, but lately I have been noticing that in the first 10 packets sent I will experience alot of packet loss. After those first 10 though, I will not experience any packet loss.

Has anyone else noticed this, or is there potentially something ...

cchooper

What you are referring to is probably the MSS, or Maximum Segment Size (Segments are different from packets). The MSS is generally MTU (Max Transmission Unit) minus the size of all of the headers encapsulating the segment. In most cases, that's 1500 (default MTU for Ethernet) - 40 bytes (20 bytes ...

I cannot access secure sites (port 443) or download email (port 25), but I can send email no probs (port 110).

Actually, port 25 is used for sending via SMTP and 110 is receiving email via POP3.

Can you please be more specific with "but I don't seem to be able to connect to the internet or anything." ?

For instance, when you're logged into your router, are you able to ping your ISP's router? If you can ping your ISP's router, can you ping anything else? Whether you can ping anything on ...

What type of router is it? Most NAT devices (like yours) don't handle BitTorrent traffic very well due to the large number of connections it has to track. Does it only do it when you're downloading/seeding Torrents or does it do it with Azureus off as well?

cchooper

In my experience, bandwidth throttling doesn't help much with latency issues :-(

cchooper

In my opinion, you should just hardwire it. There are a few different disadvantages to using Wireless for low-latency applications (ie: gaming.)

First, there's the fact that wifi operates at half-duplex. Second is the way CSMA/CA (collision avoidance) works. Basically, each time your wireless card ...

Try replacing the cable you're using. If that doesn't fix it, then as StoneCat says, you have a faulty NIC or the Ethernet port on the cable modem is screwed up and they need to replace it for you.

cchooper

Can you elaborate more? What type of routers are they? What do you hope to accomplish by connecting them? Depending on what you want, you probably just want to connect them as switches and not as NAT routers. You would do this by plugging a cross-over cable from one switch port (not WAN port) into ...

Either I am reading your question wrong or you don't really understand the concept of a proxy server.

A proxy server basically sits between you and the web servers you are accessing and they are typically used for web caching.

When you configure your web browser to use a web server, the web server ...

cchooper

They could just be false alarms. Most web browsers these days open several concurrent connections to a single server, which would cause a bunch of SYN packets to be sent, triggering those logs you're seeing.

cchooper

In addition to the great troubleshooting steps StoneCat gave, if you're connecting 2 switches (and neither one has Auto-MDIX) you'll need to use a crossover cable. You can buy them at any BestBuy-ish store or you can make them yourself.

cchooper

Some thoughts/ideas you could search for on your favorite search engine: VPN, PPTP, Internet Connection Sharing, Proxy Server

cchooper

Yes, it's possible that you have a crossover cable. The reason why the hub might work and the switch doesn't is that you may have a hub capable of Auto-MDIX, whereas your switch isn't. Auto-MDIX essentially allows a hub or a switch to detect the type of cable being used (crossover or straight) and ...

I had this happen once when I *also* had a decent-sized video directory. I never did figure out the outcome, I deleted my Videos directory (from a command prompt) and never had the problem again :-) It's possible there is some bad data mixed somewhere in those videos and it is giving Windows hell.

cchooper

In Ethereal you can filter your results by many variables, including by IP address. However, due to the nature of being on a switched network the only data you will capture from a typical node is data destined for (or originating from) your machine, and broadcast data, such as ARP packets and UPNP ...
