  1. lol! yeah, really swamped. as you can see, I really don't have the time to be on here much Have ya'll seen this? http://kb.direcway.com/al/12/2/1036.htm
  2. This isn't making a lot of sence... normally you cannot comission to a satellite that you aren't assigned to. the only thing you can do is change frequency. So I don't undersatnd how you are accomplishing that. the only way I know of is to call DW & get the right department. I have tried pointing to a satellite that i wasn't commisioned to & I get a fine signal through setup, bat as soon as you are done it drops.
  3. Wow!!! I thought I was going to get swamped! Oh well, maybe I'm just speaking too soon
  4. The big slow down you are talking about is because the Satellite you are on is just plain too busy to give you good speeds. This is DW's problem, & for that matter the problem with a lot of Satellite based communications. They like to cram as many people as they can onto each "Bird". I am on G3C & don't really notice much of a slowdown during peak hrs. So what I am trying to say is that, I doubt they have any motivation to "fix" that problem.
  5. Hey all. You probably don't remember me at all, but I have been a member here for over a year & have posted a little from time to time, but have not really been active. I first got my DW in the fall of 2004 in Southern Oregon USA. Then in april of 2005 I moved to Northern California & took my system with me & installed it myself.

  8. Yeah, that would be a problem! I use port 83 on my DW4000. I can't remember where I got that tweak from...
  9. lol, that is just about it!!! The interesting thing is that I think I have talked to the same guy each time! For a real shocker, I think I got the same guy when I called DELL support!!!!!!
  10. Now I like this! I just changed my MTU from 1460 to 1500 & the TCP Recieve Window from 256960 to 513920 just like ccr1958 has his. & it seems to have helped!

  15. I think the DW6000 is a bad choice if you want halfway descent speeds. I was tempted to upgrade but I am now glad I have kept the 4000. The 6000 is nicer for networking but with a good router on the 4000 you can do fine. here are legit speeds from my tweaked DW. :::..

Here is some interesting info http://www.testmy.net/host_stats.php?host=direcpc.com&notboolean=1&submit=Submit+Query I have the bottom line DW & have no other choice for the net ( I live in the Oregon outback & am 25 MI from phone lines)

If DSL, Cable or other broadband is available use it! The latency on sattelite is a drawback & so is the upload speed. Oh & another thing, the fair access policy stinks like "jsun" said... I have exeeded it also Esp with a download accelerator. Bad weather can also be a problem
  18. Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/cgi-bin/get.cgi?Test_ID=F75KIG586 This is one I just did a few mins ago.
  19. I have DirecWay sattelite (White dish 2 way) internet & have great speeds. Here is a test I just did. https://testmy.net/cgi-bin/get.cgi?Test_ID=P1ENNR1MM You will need to try to work with your tec support (as hard as it is) I know I've done it I hate talking to someone who can't speak english well! But I had bad speeds untill I complained about it. I have also had to adjust my dish myself (There is some good info here http://www.broadbandreports.com/faq/5458 I have also tweaked my sattelite. Here is some more good info http://www.broadbandreports.com/faq/satellite#4 This upped my speed by an average of 200 Kbps connection speed & about 20KB/s download. So my point is that DirecWay is a great system with poor tech support. Don't give up on it yet. Oh, & btw my sister does web hosting on our DirecWay with no probs! Let me know what happens.
