first of all welcome to the forum.. It is isnt unusual for ISPs to upgrade their systems once other ISPs do... Cox just upgraded to allow a mind blowing connection... Comcast did their upgrade a little before that... Either way your scores are soild!

I have mine set at 100 full duplex...

it just means the your end of the net was under heavy load.. if it always comes up like that then you might want to get you line checked out...

I hope that they screw the person who is messing with everyone!

either way it is against the law... Maybe the host should take legal action against the person.. I believe it is a minimum of like 2 year in jail if it is a host that does this for business...

just look around here... there have been tons of stuff written on how to do this kind of stuff... Just follow the guides and you might.. I repeat might see a speed increase... I dont know what the results SBC as seen as far as tweaking goes...

what is the upload like?? that isnt to bad... compaired to satelite! But what can you do... atleast you dont have to use 56k

So why isnt he banned? I would think DDoS would be a really good reason to be banned and let him know that what he/she is doing is a crime...

Ok here is what it does... The easiest way to explain it is to use the telephone and a walke talke... Whey you are on the phone and you and the person you are talking to say something you both hear it... So you are able to send and receive at the same time... This would be full Duplex On the other hand you have walke talkes... Only one person can talk at a time.. this would be half duplex.... the 10/100 thing is the speed at which the network runs at... 10mbs or 100 mbs... Most of the equipment that you can buy now is 10/100 compatible... Meaning that if you plug in a 10mbs device that area of the network will be slowed down to 10mbs... even if the network is able to run at 100mbs... Most of the time you will see Hubs, stupid devices, running at 10mbs... We now have 10/100/1000 standards.. what you want to avoid doing is mixing 10mbs with 1000mbs or the other way around.. this creates a bottleneck and that leads to slow network proformance... The thing that I have setup at my home in Illinois, I am at Purdue University right now..., is to seperate my wireless and ethernet based networks to eliminate the slow down that occures with the wireless... Wireless only get about 25-35mbs of true speed on a 54g system... With this bottle neck avoided I dont have to worry about my ethernet connection taking a hit because I am also using that router for my ethernet stuff... So I guess I got on a tangant... but here is a quick summary... lol Full vs Half duplex depends on whether it can send AND receive data at the same time.... 10/100/1000 is the speed at which the network operates at... The higher the better... but also the more expensive... Hope that helps!! Seems like some people are setting up some networks around here... A router/switch/hub qestion and now this.. Very cool! have fun!

That sucks...DDoS attacks... that is getting really old!

check and see if you have a hub in there some place instead of a switch... also make sure that they are 10/100.. I will be on later... just drop me a message NO CALC hw tonight..

awesome idea!!

i like it! speeds are slow but that is cool!

damn.... that is awesome!! I bet that the networking card today are more powerful than than entire "computer"

Finally memory prices are coming down again... It was really expensive then they had the shortage... stupid supply and demand Glad you like it!

Can we say spyware? If do download that crap then you mind as well offer you connection and computer as a server for shit...

My guess is that because MSN is owned by Microsoft and since the lawsuits have required Netscape to be able to do everything that IE can do... Firefox might not be able to do it... There might be a plug in for Firefox that you can download...

It should be... You might have to download the plugin... You can try it and if it doesnt work... You are out of luck...

Welcome to the club... That is an awesome connection for that price.... In fact Cox just upgraded their speed so you are seeing the latest and greatest that Cox has to offer... Keep posting!!

bandwidth usage problems already??

Yeah that is a good point! New speed report would be good too!!

damn straight!! No that is an ad from Apple... I just like how it looks... I was tired of my other one..

That isnt to bad... I an running about 1300 over the atlantic... Here i run about 2900.. I miss my 4.2mbs connection...

Well i guess the russians are wrong again.. go figure

yup
