How much time and effort was done for that particular check? 

Good question...

I use 1152 x 864 on a 21 inch CRT for my main computer. On my other box with a 19" widescreen I use 1280 x 720.

I was assuming above that you are connected to the router via a wired connection and not wireless. Is that true?

I don't think cable nut will help with the connection between the router and the modem and it sounds like thats  where the problem is. You may want to play with the MTU size in the router configuration. Try setting it to 1500 first and play with it from there if the speeds aren't where they were when your computer was connected directly to the cable modem.

Actually it is effective. It has cleaned mine out more than once.

And now it is my problem to police the net? Don't care where it goes, as long as it is not in mine. 

Actually its not effective at all.

Unless you mean by effective it leaves your box. It does that,but it rarely goes back to the actual sender. I guess its ok if you dont mind it bouncing around the internet going nowhere or worse bouncing back to some innocent unspecting user whos email address was spoofed because most spam has a forged reply to address. So I guess if you dont mind being part of the problem, you could call this effective.

How is the speed without the router in place?

Or try

with a spam bouncer. It will take care of it if you bounce it back regularly. 

Works great.

Bouncing spam back is not effective and just creates more crap on the internet. More than likely the "reply to" in the email is spoofed so you just end up bouncing it to an innocent inet user creating more spam or to a non existent user.

STOP SPAMMING WOW!!!... seriously I hate when people spam and say nothing EVERN IN THE WRONG POST. I can't stant TESTMY... people should have consequences for it.

I think he's right. Spankings for all....(except testmy rocks).

Hi i am getting 486 Kbps can you plz bump me up to 500 Kbps for some reason it is 4/5 stars 0.5 Mbps and 486 Kbps i want at least 500 can some1 get me that for free plz thank you!!!♥♥♥

Here ya go <bump>

Kool, works for me. 

Cox is only useful for home

but not effective for large network

Actually that is not true at all. Cox offers many different tiers of speed that will accommodate just about any network.

My ride...

after takeing computer repair this year at my high school

i took the A+ certification pass both tests now i have my A+ certification

just wondering if anyone else has it

Congrats man, I to have A+ and Network+ for about the last ten years. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have. I am now working s a service supervisor for a large ISP and it has served me very well.

hai guys a had a motorola SB5101....i need to kno.....is anybody there knos the port configuration of this modem. i need to kno whether it is capable of doin prot redirection or not...pls tell mee.....if so....i think of setting up a apache based webserver.....

thanks.... 

The modem itself does not do port forwarding.

I've got three static available here with Skynet, but still use routers to take advantage of the hardware firewalls. I also use the individual IP addresses for video...video conferencing.

HaloBox , what's the bump in price for the busness plan and the static IP addresses? Still waiting for FIOS here. It is in my back yard and they're doing installs all around me. Verizon has only been advertising the two plans here, 5/2 and 15/2.

are you using a hub or a switch to feed the signal to your individual machines?

I agree with "bwt1953". Use a hardware firewall regardless of wether you have static IPs or DHCP.

Were you able to get the static IPs working without using NAT?  I also have the 5 static ip business plan.  However, using the ActionTec router which Verizon provided, I can only get the static IPs to work using NAT.

Thanks,

Brian

Brian,

It sounds like your dsl modem is in a "gateway" configuration If your ISP sets it up in bridge mode you can use your static IPs behind it.

That guy didn't know what he was talking about. Rushonbye is right.

I work for a large cable Internet provider and I provision modems all the time. 

There are five lights on the front (power, receive, send, online, and activity) if I remember right. The activity light should blink. The others should remain solid.

The SB5101 is a great modem and completely capable of getting 16Mb speeds....

Neither, have them put your store bought cable modem on your account. If the phone rep can't help you have them escalate to a supervisor.

Well, the levels look great. I would either test with a known good PC or have the cable company come out and test the connection. It could be a bad modem or upstream noise or a PC problem.

The url linking is broke or I am having mental problems. Just make sure the whole url includes the .1 in the last octet of the IP address.

The above link is broke...

Kool, you can find the diag page by browseing to http://192.168.100.1 and then click on the signal (?) page. Please post the results...
