I'll correct that in a bit. I turned it off because it had errors. It's resolved i just need to turn it back on when I get to my console. This new theme will work much better. It's a newer version with many fixes, that's why it's the default now. D

By the way... for mobile users the boards are now automatically fomatted for those devices. On my droid it looks awesome, easier to use and navigate.

I didn't delete those lines on accident, it's all there I've got a ticket in with invision. For some reason with this new board IPB has been trying to handel a couple of things that I don't want it to... like error handeling outside of it's directory, I don't want it to do that. ... Secondly, there is NO error in that link, everything is where it should be but IPB has still taken the liberty to throw an error page up for something outside it's directory. I understand why, IPB is called upon on every page request.... but it should still keep to itself in it's own directory. It did before the upgrade. They'll give me some better insite into what's causing this. This is like the 4th headache with my .htaccess redirects that this new install has given me. I worked around the other ones but this is getting ridiculous, I need a full solution for the entire problem... it's obviously causing problem. The Invision Staff pretty quick to help, I checked the 'critical' button on the ticket... it really is critical, there are tons of links on the internet that reference this. Thanks again for reporting that, I'll let you know once it's resolved. -Damon

Read this... http://www.testmy.net/legit_speed_test.php -- it may provide insite into the variance. Your speeds aren't really that different. And your speeds will be different on any test if your connection is in use... as long as the test you're using actually does what it's supposed to do. Let me know if this helps you understand the difference between testmy.net and other speed test sites. - Damon

I made changes to the .htaccess -- must have removed that line on accident. Thanks for bringing that to my attention, I'm on it.

Thanks

Okay, it's all good... This is actually normal. Some routers on the internet and our network prioritize packets so they may not respond to a certain percentage (or in this case 100%) of the *direct* queries to the router itself, and let the rest of the packets through. This is to keep load on the router to a minimum so it's only processing packets that are on their way to their destination. If there were issues with the router, you would see it reflecting in all the subsequent hops in the traceroute. Uuuuh, I'm so tired right now I didn't even really look at the trace. So yeah, your traceroutes look good. You should really look into some spyware removal like Zalternate said. Here's some more information about SIMBAR from McAfee >> http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_131206.htm

That's actually one of my hosts hops. I've got a ticket in, they're looking into it. I'll let you know what they find. After that's resolved we can make a better diagnosis. -CA3LE

frustrating... Sorry we haven't been able to figure it out... this ones a tough one. Let us know the solution when you find it though, it may help many other people in the future -Damon

(note: I have renamed this forum, I hadn't realized that they changed their name. The new forum name reflects this, thank you for bringing that to my attention with the topic subject line) Post a trace route to testmy.net and google.com... we may see where the problem is if we have a couple of traceroutes. To run a traceroute... Windows Start > Run > type CMD [enter] > from the command prompt type tracert google.com and/or tracert testmy.net Linux / Mac Under Applications/Utilities open 'Terminal' > type traceroute google.com and/or traceroute testmy.net Paste those results here. ... copy and paste the results here .. yeah there is also definitely cause for concern regarding...

Nice connection man

I may have had some rsync or something running. It's rare that my entire connection is unused.

great to hear that you figured out the problem. With great speed comes great responsibility... lol Also, one note. Another thing that people don't take into consideration is also the CPU and Disk Speed.... You could have a 100Mbps line but if those can't keep up then you'll never be able to max out. My girlfriends macbook before I changed the hard drive was only able to get half my line speed. I changed my hard drive out for a SSD and gave her my old hard drive and now she maxes out the line. Something that not many people take into consideration... just a side note. -Damon

YEEE HAW!

Most browsers won't display custom 404 pages anymore. At least that's what I assume. I haven't seen that error page in forever. I found that image as tought it would be funny.

Welcome!

Wow, good question. That would be cool. Anybody know the answer to that for sure. Maybe I'll test that on my windows machine in a little bit and get back with you. Unless someone else answers this for us.

I just noticed this person testing... http://www.testmy.net/tools/database/db_search.php?type=comp_id&q=5901362311 That guy has a nice connection.

2nd pot of coffee, nice. I'm a five hour energy guy myself. How do your traceroutes look? Post some if you could, when it's happening and when it's not.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Reminds me, I need to fix that birthday emoticon, it's displaying wrong.

This is one of those times I wish I could just hop on your computer and see for myself. Have you gone into the device manager to see if there are any unrecognized hardware. I know you said that you installed the drivers but it's still possible. Another thing you may want to try is a driver roll back to the default drivers that microsoft offers. Let me know if you need a walk through for any of the above. -D

I personally would get something like that from Newegg.com ... but I get everything from them. Here's a link to their surveillance stuff. >> http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=521&name=Surveillance-Cameras I also wouldn't buy a kit. You'll most likely get worse cameras in a kit. That link to the one on eBay looks dated, I'm not a surveillance expert though... although I have worked with a system like that (Lorex). HORRIBLE web interface, motion detection picked up flys but the resolution was horrible. I'm not saying all Lorex stuff sucks, that was the only time I've ever dealt with them. I don't know if it was just old or something but I recommended to the owner that he get something more modern ----- be careful, read reviews before you buy and if you can buy in person. Some of the companies who make those are very sketchy. And if the eBay seller isn't really listing the brand then that can be a red flag too. Just a heads up IMO. -Damon

Damn dude... nice. Although, I heard from a Qwest technician that they will be releasing 100/60 in select areas in October. ... too bad I move in October (I happen to be in one of those select areas right now), I may just have to plan my next move based on where the fastest internet is. I think I'm too addicted to 40/20... can't imagine 100/60.
