What is your upstream power level?

I believe so.

Who is Gixxer and what is his relation to W. Hayes?

I must congratulate the Gators on their 2nd NC in three yrs. and I wouldn't be at all surprised to see them win another next year.

buckifan

Everybody hates the da Bucks. Hell, I hate Tressel and wouldn't mind seeing him fired. The team that won the NC in 2002 was recruited by his predecessor, John Cooper, and Tressel gets all the credit.

We are paying this guy 3.5M/yr. to win championships and more than a few fans are beginning to ...

Memory arrived today and installed it in my neighbor's memory poor PC. He's happy so I'm happy.

Thanks Dan and bumpers for a great trader.

They have been having problems with their DNS servers in the Bellsouth territory.

Changing the DNS server list on your machines at work should help.

You will need a router to use both computers at the same time because your ISP has limited your account to one IP address at a time. A switch or hub wont work.

Was told this was the place to ask for help.

Thanks anyway.

I have a clue for you. Why not post this question in the appropriate forum?

If you are comfortable using regedit it wont take long.

Launch regedit and right-click on hive HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and select find. In the 'find what' box enter \\ and click find. What you are looking for is the UNC (\\) path to the network share that hosts the application that is causing the problem ...

Has this computer ever been part of a LAN? What can happen is that if someone launches an application on a network share from this computer, and the application adds a context menu to windows explorer (like Winzip), every time you try to open a file windows explorer will try to find the application ...

the config has EVERYTHING to do with it.... if you don't have the right one it won't push your speeds for powerboost.

here is the one I have for my sb5120 and as of now I'm only able to get download powerboost.

Hi,

I found this forum in a web search to learn how to improve my home cable service. That search led me to a specific thread found on this site dated ~2003. It was very informative and I imagine still current, but prompted the following questions.

Our house was wired several years ago during ...

Where do I get an example of a DOCSIS1.1 config file?

Use your TFTP client and download this DOCSIS1.1 Comcast config file and take a look at the values for Up/Down Maximum Sustained Traffic Rate:

d11_m_na_c05.cm

buckifan

If you really want to dig a little deeper you can use a tool like DocsDiag to find out the name of the config file and the address of the TFTP server that hosts it.

Once you have that information use a TFTP client like Tftpd32 to download a copy of the config file to your computer.

Now use a ...

buckifan

The TCM200 is not a DOCSIS compliant modem and your ISP just wants to gracefully stop supporting this old equipment.

I'm as paranoid as the next person but I think your skepticism is misplaced as far as 'cap', 'uncap', and 'throttle'. We are all 'capped' and 'throttled' in one way or the other but ...

If that's all I need to do, then why did the other temporary modem work so well, and this one is garbage?

Is the temporary modem normally connected to Suddenlink? If so then it will work at any location using that provider. The new modem (SB5101) will be garbage until Suddenlink configures it to ...

My roommate got a new one. It is the Motorola SB5101. It now stays connected but our download rates are at a grueling dial-up pace. Do I just have bad luck with modems? what gives?

Got it from where? Did it come from your ISP or was it purchased at Wallyworld, Best Buy, etc.

If you bought it ...

I don't know of a VOIP provider that allows collect calls. Some will assign you a toll free # for a fee but even that won't work if the caller is using a pay phone at a correctional institution.

The reason "reversing the charges" doesn't work is that the CLEC that owns the called # doesn't have ...

We arent even using DOCSIS 2.0 are we?

DOCSIS 2.0 was approved over 5 yrs ago and I don't know of a single operator that offers speeds that max out DOCSIS 1.0. I see 3.0 as a band-aid until speeds comparable to fiber can be delivered to a subscribers home. (in Japan or Korea)

BTW, the FCC doesn ...

Thanks for the tip about RipIt4Me. Looks good and it's free.

I've used AnyDVD and it works well but it is not freeware. (I like things that are free :-) )

DVD decrypter is good when dvd shrink fails.

I've never heard of nero not accepting DVD+R discs.

DVD decrypter hasn't been updated in almost two years because the author was threatened with a lawsuit by DRM software developer Macrovision. What's funny is that Macrovison later bought the IP ...

DVD Shrink hasn't been updated in years and cannot handle some of the copy protection schemes commonly in use.

There are several programs that can do the job. The one I use is DVDFab Decrypter and is freeware. After you rip all of the files to your hard drive you can use DVD Shrink to author a new ...

Signal looks good.

If your modem is not dropping the connection and your up & down speeds are normal I wouldn't worry about it.

I see from your profile that you have InsightBB. They made some serious changes to their network a few months ago and I don't think they are done yet. Call and have them ...

Try http://192.168.100.1/signal.html

If you can view the log page then the other diagnostic pages should be available.

You shouldn't see the DHCP entry more than once every few days depending on how long the lease is. 4 times a day for the other messages might indicate a problem.

Can you post your TX and RX signal levels?

buckifan

No Ranging Response received - T3 time-out

These messages are considered normal. How many of these entries do you log in one day?

buckifan

The log entries needed to diagnose are lost due to the modem logging debug entries. I don't see a problem with your signal levels so I would probably try a new modem if all your connectors and splitters pass inspection as suggested.

buckifan

upstream power is the amount of signal comming out fo your modem heading to the head end. it is important that this signal is not too low so that it can stay out of the "noise floor" and reach the head end at an acceptable level. also if it is to high it will overwork your modem and cause sporatic ...

What OS are you using?

Look on the bottom of the router.

1. No.

2. Same as 1.

If you cancel your account the internet will stop working but the basic cable will remain.

buckifan

Every system is different so I can't answer your specific question. I would suggest you have a sit down with the system engineer and explain the problems you're having.

There is a way to force the CM to a specific downstream and/or upstream channel. You need to edit the configuration file used by ...

If a tech gets pissed off at a customer during a service call that tech is fired. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.

You have your standards, I have mine.

buckifan

Sometimes the ISP doesn't consider off air interference when assigning downstream and upstream data channels. Some cable modems have very poor shielding. Is somebody broadcasting on channel 58 in your area?

buckifan

This could be a tough one to troubleshoot. When the modem starts reseting a lot check your TV picture for noise or anything unusual. Do you have a set-top-box and, if so, have you had problems with it during hot weather. Do you have any neighbors that use your service? Check to see if they are also ...

buckifan

Your signal levels look fine. I don't understand when you say the signal gets lost. It is normal for signal levels to change with temperature, but only a few db.

The log entry "3-Critical R02.0 No Ranging Response received - T3 time-out" is normal as long as the log isn't filled with these. What ...

buckifan

The modem is telling you that the downstream channel is too noisy. Don't let the tech leave until the downstream level is 0 dbmv or better.

buckifan

My bad. I should have said bonded to the existing building ground.
