LOL.. if the school has any decent IT people at all they will have your class segregated off of anything that matters anyways.. But always smart to ask. Including the teacher.

Your public IP can be changed also by changing the MAC address on the WAN of your router. Many routers have this feature. You can simply go up one octet.. like aa:bb:cc:dd:11:22:77:11 to aa:bb:cc:dd:11:22:77:12 or aa:bb:cc:dd:11:22:78:11 Then reboot your modem.

I know a guy that has that particular software..

Thanks!

Yeah- the service password does get me in to most of the settings but there is an "Installer" password that allows a setting that I need in order for this thing to work..

chpalmer

Sort of hardware related.. ;)

Is there anyone here that used to have these Eltek rectifiers (Flatpack version 1) in their care that would know the "Installer" secret password?

Im trying to mess with one and I am stuck.

This is the password that you use with the "Winpower" application to ...

I used to run an Hmail server here and utilized the function to delay email unless white listed.. Fly by nite spammers sometimes set up servers that do not wait and will drop emails pretty quick when the target server does not reply quickly..

Looks like dslreports is down for the count.. Maybe just a hardware issue but its been days.

There are a bunch of the members reaching out for somewhere else to go so hope this draws a few until and if their site comes back up..

Im loving my new Motorola MB8600 now that my ISP has their act together. The Arris SB8200 also a good choice is based on the same chipset but runs a tad warmer under normal operation. Heads up for anyone looking for a backwards compatible D3.1 solution.

chpalmer

It's deplorable that company's are still churning these out and actually building new products based on this chipset..

Who is your ISP?

My carrier "Wavebroadband" recently did the same with my modem which is based on the same chipset as your model. Motorola MB8600. Some ISPs are having great difficulty with properly provisioning these D3.1 modems. Im calling almost daily right now keeping the wheel noisy. Ive ...

I think so, but we tried them for TV service years ago and they stank too. So we went to DirecTV, which we're pretty happy with, except for the $130 a month.

The ONLY real advantage with a land line phone is that, during a national emergency, it may work when cells may all go down. FOr example if ...

What kind of hard drives are on those machines? PATA, SATA, ect... Your also limited by the bus speed and other programs running in the background.

Your slowest machine is going to be the bottleneck.

Cablemodems dont have setting you can go in and change... Gateways do but not on the modem part of it...

You may be experiencing slowdowns caused by a busy node in your area...

Upstream Power Level 54 dBmV

This is quite high, just barely lower than the maximum of 55. Probably it fluctuates, so could be causing problems:

Anyone else see this as a problem?

Yep. Upstream number is the level that the cable modem ...

Sorry- I had DSL on the mind when I wrote that...

Can you try it on another computer and see if you have the same issues?

Im wondering if the drivers for the usb are having conflicts causing these kinds of issues...

chpalmer

USB could be causing you these issues.

What is the model of your dsl modem?

You can plug directly from the ethernet port to your computers ethernet port just as you would your usb connection. The router is highly recommended but not necessary for it to work...

chpalmer

http://www.untangle.com/ might be worth a look for you...

What model is the Dlink? Is it a commercial grade unit?

chpalmer

You need someone with a spectrum analyzer.

When your signal disappears, do the distant AP's also go away?

Try changing the channel of your AP to something else like 1 or 11.

Get a copy of netstumbler installed on your xp laptop. You can watch the signal strength of multiple AP's easier that way ...

chpalmer

Cause for concern? Yes

Call Charter? Probably not right now until you see it happen again. They may have fixed something on their end. Getting them to admit it could be fun.

Use the H-E-Double Hockey Sticks out of it and watch closely.

Good Luck!

chpalmer

Now you have two separate modem logs with the same problems showing that you can present to them.

By contrast, my modem logs one line every two or three weeks.

Id be looking to get some credits to my service till its fixed.

No sir I don't have 2x Network cards. I have only one network card each of my computer. and My Dsl Modem will be directly connect to my switch and the rest of all pc will be connect through Switch. is it possible? if not then tell me how should i configure my network.

Move around your apartment with the laptop and see where you get the best signal.

Have a window facing the campus? There are external bridge units that can use an external antenna and be connected to with an ethernet cable. Ive done this for a few friends here and there. Bridge

Have you enabled file and printer sharing on both computers?

Does the laptop ask you for a password when you try to access the desktop harddrive?

If so enter the username and password then try it.

chpalmer

Is the DHCP server on the Linksys Router disabled?

This would cause the issues you are seeing if it wasn't.

chpalmer

this alone tells me its the ISP's issue and they need to come out and look at your lines and so forth. Could be packetloss at a hop on their network which they need to fix.

Yep- many issues here that need to be dealt with.

The connection between the modem and the computer going bad can cause ...

You probably want to start here then http://forums.speedguide.net/forumdisplay.php?f=46

Theres a good chance you could have to rebuild your operating system again. The average time for an unpatched, computer from the time its connected to the internet till its be infected is about twenty minutes ...

Most isp's for home use only give out one IP address. One connection at a time.

Your broadband router is designed to share this connection.

Call your isp and ask.

chpalmer

How are your signal levels?

http://192.168.100.1

I really dont believe this was your original problem but something could have changed.

Personally- Id find a cheap broadband router to put between the modem and the laptop. Maybe even a wireless one to let you roam. Helps by providing a layer ...

chpalmer

I think i covered everything you already said earlier...

Well- if ya gotta plagiarize, do it right out in the open I always say... Late night that day... I must have been zoned out a little more than I thought!!

chpalmer

Figure this out yet?

set your router for dhcp or cable connection. That way it will get an address automatically from the modem.

If its 192.168.1.X make sure your lan is on a differnt subnet. Say 192.168.10.X would work.

chpalmer

Do you have the affected computer set for dhcp or static ip?

(Under Network Connections)

chpalmer

It could be your modem also. Its not anything Id worry about.

Try pinging 192.168.100.1 and

also 192.168.1.1 (if thats your router address) and see if they answer...

Your gateway ping looks good! In fact, your total ping looks good!

I have an good signal but frequent disconnects?

My signals levels are
DownStream Power = -13 dbmv

SNR = 32

Upstream Power = 55.3

Oh, And my signal splits about 3 times before my modem and twice after.

Think of the upstream power figure as "how loud your modem has to talk to be heard by the ...
