Do u have RoadRunner or @Home?
Roadrunners email for both in/outgoing mail is
24.94.162.237
If you're on @Home try this one for in/out.
mail.rdc2.mi.home.com(24.0.95.227)

I have RR here in Warr Acres.

martin777

Cox/RoadRunner here in Oklahoma City. I own my modem (SB3100). 3Mb down/256Kb up,3 free IP's--35 bucks/mth.
if you have their cable TV also. $45 all by itself.

martin777

One thing to consider is that you can still check your up/down caps with a 3100 HERE.

martin777

Check out this speed test-cool huh?

http://www.numion.com/YourSpeed/Checkup.php

martin777

I live in OKC(Warr Acres) and have had RR for almost 3 years.
Cox and RR kinda merged about a year ago and both were capped soon after that at 3Mb down and 256Kb up. I was running wide open 'till that happened. :cry: Still pissed at Cox/@Home for that. :mad: I know RR is in Choctaw-close? Both ...

martin777

IT JUST UPDATED!
I QUIT!

martin777

Cookies don't update on my 2 machines(RR cable), a friends at work(wireless broadband) and on a couple of @home machines.
I'll be dammed if I know what's going on. It also happens on another BB I'm on! Guess I've pissed off the cookie gods-huh?
Oh-and yes I've deleted cookies till I'm sick. Logging ...

martin777

My cookie on this board won't update. i.e. the date/time "you last visited" won't update. This happens on BOTH my machines(W95/IE5-W98/IE6). I haven't changed anything and noticed it a couple of days ago. The only way to get the cookie to update is to log-out/log-in and from then on it's stuck on ...

martin777

Got this idea from another forum/member. Just copy it if you want.

martin777

That's what my modem settings are. Neat-huh?

Wish I could "tweak" those numbers a bit.

martin777

I have a SB3100 modem and I can goHERE and see what my modem settings(like min/max bitrates) are. That's the main reason I elected to buy this modem from RR for 10 bucks a month(for 12 months).

martin777

I reached level 2 tech. support and this guy said they can go as low as 2.5Mb down and 128Kb up and still be within their acceptable range.

martin777

These S.O.B,'s here at Cox/RR have lowered my bandwidth AGAIN from 3.2Mb to 3.0Mb down and from 300Kb to 256Kb up!
When will it end?

martin777

After I put Zone Alarm to sleep I've "decaffeinated" 42 machines and a friend has zapped over 100 on the @home network.

martin777

I'll take my chances over this weekend then shut 'er down. My ISP(Cox/RR) obviously isn't doing much to resolve this. Been running this thing for 11 Hrs. and have had about 50 "nibbles" but no catches.

martin777

I'm running the Code Red Vigilante-very cool but hard to set up.

martin777

I have RR and if u leave your modem on 24/7 the IP shouldn't change. I've had the same IP for over 7 months now. Even with a few power outages and one for over 2 hrs!

martin777

Cox@home here in Oklahoma City and surrounding areas is capped at 3Mb/256Kb.

martin777

That's one reason I like and will keep this GI3100 modem-I can look at my upstream and downstream caps by going here.
Currently my caps are 3.2MB/300KB.

192.168.100.1

martin777

Got a letter from Cox saying my cable modem service will go up $5
next month to $34.95. I have the option to wave the $15/mth. modem rental and just buy that GI3100 for $129. I will pay $10.75/mth. for 1 year and own the modem.
First Cox @home/RR caps my happy ass now they raise my rates.

martin777

That's ok. What happens if you type "microsoft" then hit
"Ctrl" AND "Enter" at the same time?

martin777

What happens when you just type "207.46.230.218" (without the quotes) in your address bar? (That's microsoft.com).
Do you somehow have cookies disabled or some kinda firewall running?

martin777

Have you messed with your hosts files? Like r u using any kind of web accelerator? Do these sites need updated cookies?
I noticed that http://www.microsoft.com put a /ms.htm after the url
Just a thought cause it's bit me in the ass before.

martin777

martin777

Also if you turn it off long enough, you might be issued a different IP address.
That could be a pain for routers,games,etc.

martin777

According to www.dslreports.com -->
"Receive Window should be larger than bandwidth delay product (also known as pipe capacity).

For example, for 170ms delay on a 768Kbps link, RWIN = 768000 bits/sec * 0.170 sec = 130560 bits = 16320 bytes."

What do ya think of that?

martin777

I have RR here in Oklahoma City. I know that if you have @HOME and a GI3100 that all the stats. for that modem aren't shown. :-(
They capped me 2 mths. ago and before used to be 10Mb/s down and 3Mb/s up. I had those blazing speeds for over 2 years.

martin777

My caps were raised last night from 3Mb/s to
3.2Mb/s down and from 256Kb/s to 300Kb/s up!!! Dsl reports confirms it too.
This is un-heard of-huh?
If u have a GI3100 modem,this site will tell you what your max. up and down bitrates are.-

Ebonics?

Apparently there are quite a few ISPs that support shotgun and are not too expensive.

This is me standing next to his car before a race in Talladega.

He was my favorite of all time.
Very sad.

This is the RR tech. I spoke to last night.
Now I know why his voice was a little faint.
