It means your OS has a major problem. Could be software, could be hardware...that remains to be seen. In either case it's not good.

Actually so would I.....that is a minor drawback but for what I use it for....really not needed....but still it would be nice.

Sounds to me like you are in need a of a new pwr supply.

You didnt get the memo?? They ran out yesterday.....that means you can go get yourself a nice 21" 6ms LCD today for half price...Merry Halloween.....yea...thats it!

Time to make your ho ho hope list.....and make sure it's passed around early.......

Well look at the bright side... YOU CAN ALWAYS SKI! :haha:

There is even a better solution to this....it's called LCD.....novel technology...you may have heard of it recently...... :haha: (j/k)

Remember....for all intents your mutliple pc's behind a router appear to the NOC as one device....your 2 or 3 pc's each downloading a file...looks to the NOC to be one pc downloading 3 files.

Heh...well I'm safe....neither of those places is even close to my top ten list....

Dynamic spot beams.....yikes....better grab my tinfoil hat.....QUICK.......

His dropped packets are very much an external issue. Notice his tracert's....they pretty much tell the story right there....

Okay...this is not a splitter issue.....look to your ISP for answers on this one...

Because I didnt want to dedicate a PC to it...nor the extra hardware size...these things are TINY. I leave my router on and just the NAS drives and the ppl who need to get updates from me....well lets just say it's totally trouble free and since I have cough...unlimited bandwidth....not an issue for me.... your solution is great if you have the extra hardware and space to mess with that...I don't...plus this is hardware based....no software hassles....no hacker baby issues....they just work....

I have been using 4 ADS Tech NAS devices now for about 6 months. Got the barebones unit from Office Depot at half price ($69.95). The CPU of the beast is actually made by the same ppl that make the Triton version but with more whistles. Comes with no HD....you can put up to a 400GB puppy in there which is better than many. It's Linux based, offers built in web server, ftp server, torrent server. All of them performed well once I got over a few issues with directory locking and ftp (always disable the FTP portion while doing local work on the drive or baaad things happen..), a problem while annoying but easy to work around. Not widely available everywhere (newegg has em, try Office Depot too as they were clearing them out) they are worth looking at. This is the ONLY device I have found in this price range with all the features...and they do work well once you learn the quirks. I use them behind a router and have had no problems locally or remotely whatsoever.... I should note that the few reviews I have seen on the device have only been FAIR...but after reading them and with my experience my hunch is they just didn't know how to use them or get around the one quirk I mentioned above. ADS support is minimal but anyone with reasonable tech experience will love this drive. http://www.adstech.com/products/NAS-806-EF/intro/NAS_806_intro.asp?pid=NAS-806-EF

Where do you live so I can make a mental note not to move there....

Does your modem have onboard diagnostics...if it does please post all data from it.....that will tell us real quick if thats the issue or not. Based on your tracert info...that is not the problem...but we can certainly check anyway.

Now keep in mind...those ping times are not that bad....BUT...that drop is a whole different beast....to google that shouldn't be happening at that hope this is for sure...

You need to contact your ISP and ask them if they are having some issues...sure looks like it to me....send them a copy of the trace route if they have any doubts....

Dway has no idea if you are running one or one hundred computers behind that router and should not care. I suspect you are dealing with a router that is either misconfigured or malfunctioning....Good luck!

Please do a trace route to google and post the results. Also I need to know your carrier. Thanks!

Although you have fixed the problem...for those who don't know..most monitors have built in and in some cases auto-degaussing features which will fix this. Yours appears to have an auto-degaussing feature which is activated when you power cycle it.

Looks like your seller took another neg...his score is down to 98.3....not showing up yet but fleabay is normally behind on updating the counters.....

My only gripe is that it requires .net framework to be installed...grrr

Hmmmmm....well....see if it does the job and if not take'r back.....I tend not to buy much from CompUSA for two reasons....I don't do the rebate thing....and they are higher priced than Newegg (when I die...please let heaven be a newegg store).

Now that I must confess...I may not have all the updates for it....grrr...another night on MS website downloading things that should have been included from the get go. I am about to tackle the IE7 issue again...prolly tonight will post back my nightmarish results....
