yeah... all bow down to the all powerful thanks CA3LE hope we dont have this problem again...

lol he also posted in help with other stuff... I want CA3LE to get him out of here.. or atleast explain that this isnt needed...

I see so if you replace the equipment every little hicup is going to be your fault... but if you keep the router you get screw for speed... hmm... Discision making 101...

wish I could but I dont have admin status.. Seems like this is one of those spam threads.. to up our post count..

LOL i sold the donkey to them... got myself a scooter... Maybe your horse and my donkey are friends after the superbowl proformance...

very nice! quite quick... is that during the school day?? or just some off peak time.. like passing periods

Is philly flat as all?? I have never been there... The flatter the better... Less APs/bridges

What the hell is going on here?? some on please inform me what is going on with this thread?

Hell ya!! CA3LE you have to hook RTB up come on!

I have found that most of the web admins that have a forum area are pretty active... Atleast the ones that I am a member of... It is just to hard not to be... But CA3LE is special... he really does care about his members... He is constantly re writing test to make them more accurate and better..

Get a new router!! throw the old pos out of the window... It would make a really good paper weight.

yeah that could be the end of this project... Although here at Purdue we have a campus wide WI-FI system.. you have do download a program that allows you to connect.. It is done over SSH so it is fairly secure.... But you do bring up a good point

Philly Considers Wireless Internet for All The ambitious plan, now in the works, would involve placing hundreds, or maybe thousands of small transmitters around the city - probably atop lampposts. Each would be capable of communicating with the wireless networking cards that now come standard with many computers. Once complete, the network would deliver broadband Internet almost anywhere radio waves can travel - including poor neighborhoods where high-speed Internet access is now rare. And the city would likely offer the service either for free, or at costs far lower than the $35 to $60 a month charged by commercial providers, said the city's chief information officer, Dianah Neff. ``If you're out on your front porch with a laptop, you could dial in, register at no charge, and be able to access a high speed connection,'' Neff said. ``It's a technology whose time is here.'' If the plan becomes a reality, Philadelphia could leap to the forefront of a growing number of cities that have contemplated offering wireless Internet service to residents, workers and guests. Chaska, Minn., a suburb of Minneapolis, began offering citywide wireless Internet access this year for $16 a month. The signal covers about 13 square miles. Corpus Christi, Texas, has been experimenting with a system covering 20 square miles that would be used (for now) only by government employees. Over the past year, Cleveland has added some 4,000 wireless transmitters in its University Circle, Midtown and lakefront districts. The service is free, and available to anyone who passes through the areas. Some 1,016 people were logged in to the system at 2:20 Tuesday afternoon, said Lev Gonick, chief information officer at Case Western Reserve University, which is spearheading the project and paying for a chunk of it. ``We like to say it should be like the air you breathe - free and available everywhere,'' Gonick said. ``We look at this like PBS or NPR. It should be a public resource.'' In New York, city officials are negotiating to sell wireless carriers space on 18,000 lampposts for as much as $21.6 million annually. T-Mobile USA Inc., Nextel Partners Inc., IDT Corp. and three other wireless carriers want the equipment to increase their networks' capacity. One part of the 15-year deal is cheap Wi-Fi phones for neighborhoods where less than 95 percent of residents have home phones. IDT, which has agreed to market the cheaper phone service in those neighborhoods, would pay lower rates for poles there than other companies would in wealthier areas. Wireless technology has improved by leaps and bounds in recent years and become drastically less expensive. The new ``wireless mesh'' technology under consideration in Philadelphia has made it possible to expand those similar networks over entire neighborhoods, with the help of relatively cheap antennas. Neff estimated it would cost about $10 million to pay for the initial infrastructure for the system, plus $1.5 million a year to maintain. Philadelphia Mayor John F. Street, a technology buff who carries a wireless handheld computer everywhere he goes, appointed a 14-member committee last week to work out the specifics of his city's plan, including any fees, or restrictions on its use.

Hey here is a realy great article that talks about 802.11g APs and their ability to handel clients.. It is actually really intersting to see what the "home" version can do against the enterprise editions... http://www.tomsnetworking.com/Sections-article87.php

that is really wierd... can you check the load % on those nodes... I know there is a way to do that just am not sure where it is.. I think it shows all the major nodes and their load at the present time..

the tracert looks good until you make the jump across the pond... not much you can do there.. maybe run a really long ethernet cable directly to CA3LE's server... that will get a really good score!

It is possible that now that you have digital cable you are going to need a line booster... That is what happened with me... Just call the tech support , I know.. I hate them too, and explain the problem... Have the tech come out and figure out what the problem is... if it is hardware related your modem should be covered if you bought/rented it from you ISP

Troll guy... right anyways that is a nice score you have there!

and it is most likely true!

Welcome to the dork club... It is a great club to be in,.. I am happy to be a member and am constantly throwing out plugs for this site... Hail CA3LE <--- just had to add that...

Hey no prob...

If you are running a file sharing network the network is going to take a hit with setting of Half duplex...

That is a classic!!!

I have seen some wierd crap in my time... I havent been doing networking stuff all that much but I have seen some people try and "maximize" their connection with screwing with the properties... This lead to a really slow and poor connection... I believe that by default it should be set to "auto" meaning that the properties will be detected to maximize you nic for you... However, I do beileve that on of the 3com nic by default wouldnt go into 100 full duplex mode with out an updated driver... One really good reason to update your drivers about 1 or so months after the driver is made available...
