You can't be serious, is this even possible with satellite ? I mean the public access of it, not military.

Depending on the settings I suppose, if you have it set to auto check for updates to the program itself, you would not have seen it, I should have thought that through before posting.

Here, let me assist you with that.. Your monitor is off, see ?

Far as I know, when you get down to the meat of it all, "N" stands for Nothing more then distance, or range, In other words N routers have the capability to send the signal further. If this is the final say, I can't say, but this is what I get out of it. If you want to boost the range, or the transmit power, then you could flash that thing with DD-WRT in which contains a setting that allows you to change the TX , or transmit power level from something like 20-250 milliwatts <<< or something.

They just did a main system upgrade, did you get the notification ?

I would have to agree. And easy to read and understand, well, for most anyhow.

I see you have Glob in the Philippines, do you know what the maximum download / upload speeds you should be getting ? If you do , then someone could point you not only to what tommie gorman has , but cablenut as well. There are dozens of different files that will coincide with your connection settings. Adjusting them accordingly. Below is a basic speed chart for your type of connection.

We all have our own way of learning , many times it's best left to experimentation. I'm not telling you anything you don't already know. I have to comment nanobot, he's very innovative, and expresses this in a way that has actual real life use for those along the lines in which he resides. He'll certainly be someone to watch in the future, there's no doubt of this, and we should all imo , recognize this fact. Why ? For one , you'll be saying at one point, " damn, I know that dude, we used to talk on TMN all the time " (watch, I'm betting on it ) , and another because it's not everyone that excels as he does, and takes the initiative towards learning and as i said innovating existing technology. Most just use what they see. Ok, I'm done kissin your ass nanopunk. Been waiting for an opportunity to tell what I see. Kudo's o you man !

Well those are supposed to be plug and play. I read back, maybe I missed it, but I didn't see why the laptop was replaced.

Try typing in the next drive letter in the commnd prompt, say your last drive is c:/ , then type d:/ , or so on. Also did you go into disk management , (in computer management you may have to assign a drive letter. Something else that hasn't been brought up, some external HDD enclosures will not run off the slim power of the USB ports, even then, some front ports have been known to have even less power then the ones soldered onto the board itself. I'm just tossing things out there. But since it seems that this is going on , on more then one machine, maybe this is something with the drives. Or the enclosure itself, there not perfect you know ? This is most likely the problem, a defective enclosure. There pretty basic, would you mind posting the specs on that enclosure ?

You could install something like everest to get the information you need. The program will run through the system devices , and more, and tell you what they are, who manufactured them, and many more then less , give you link to the driver site.

You lost me on the read string, and the remembered string thing. If your set up with DHCP , and a static IP for those two, and there's no QOS coded, and there's no cable mismatch, nor is there any quotas set in either machine for the adapters, it matters not what the bandwidth is coming in, it should be balanced based on need, if your downloading the same file , on two different machines , on the same network at the same time, there should be little or no fluctuation between bandwidth comparison, other then the obvious subtleties within different variables on opposing OS's, and there config. So what am i missing here thats so simple ? It must be held within the router config itself, if in fact that everything that is in this post is correct. IP's matter not.

My first thought is that there's someone using either a ham radio, or a powerful "CB" at night, are there any noticeable huge "moon rakers " or star dusters pokin out from the tree's in your area ? Iv'e seen these guy's run several hundred watts (or more ) through a massive antenna near the ground to keep from being spotted, which will do exactly what your describing. And most of them will run at night, on a cloudy night to get "skip" and talk with someone on the other side of the planet in between standard frequencies. Although it may be a defect in the cable line itself, maybe lost a ground. It could also be a "leak" before the drop to your house. May even be a deteriorating node, bad card , whatever, thats allowing disturbance from something else.

Ok, I got that, my next question would be this scenario ~ from what I gather so far, the desktop is always plugged in , and connected, correct me if I am incorrect in assuming this from what I have read , so the problem starts when the second, r in this case, the laptop requests an IP, then the laptop gets the shaft bandwidth wise ? If this is the case, then have you tried connecting the laptop first, noting the bandwidth details, then connecting the desktop, and what are the results. You could rule out many things by doing this, if you haven't already. This is a question that may have more then one answer as you know, if you have XXXX amount of bandwidth, and two or more machines using that connection, then the bandwidth would be susceptible to the router config. Which in this case may very well go beyond what shows on the GUI, which I believe to be true. Plus a couple other variables that haven't shown themselves yet. By all means imo you are absolutely correct, as with any device, it doesn't think, it does strictly what it's programmed to do. Are you willing to get the config from the router ?

Are you in any type of community accessed internet ? Are you the network administrator ? What is your ISP and what package , or what speeds do you get .

Interesting for sure !!! I f this were me, I would get the latest firmware , and flash that puppy, the way it's acting is that it's a part of a botnet, this may be just a gut feeling because i don't see any data that would support this theory of mine. Question, if the network is left on, or open after the reboot , after the connection of the secondary machine, doe sit eventually revert to a slower connection ? Do you notice any page redirects ? Ever ? At all ? Send yourself an email, depending on the client your using, you should be able to get a ton of information that for the most part will mean nothing to me, maybe you, but you may be able to track where the message went to , and what server it originated from, as well as the path it took to get back to your inbox. On that note , connect both machines, and run one of the following clients to remote control tha other machine, logmein << I prefer this one myself , or team viewer , if your going to use TV , then download the "unattended server client ti the machine you want to control. Then once you have these up and running, do a tracrt from both of them, note the output, then do a tracrt to testmy.net , or "74.54.226.166" << which is tmn's Ip . Any configuration you can think of or use from different perspective to find out of by any chance all your data is being re directed through someone's toy in there basement. You may have to allow the sending of yourself an email within the email client itself, as many times it is turned off for security reasons. I only use it for test purposes. Either way, i would inevitably just flash the latest firmware on that device, making certain that i have backed up my current config before doing so. Oh yea, were you able to get the confg from the router ? You could get down to the brass tacks of it by telnetting into the device, with windows you could use a free ssh telnet tool called putty

You better go check and make sure, here, we'll wait.................. please report back your findings as soon as possible, this could mean rather serious repercussions for the parties involved.........

I've noticed a lot of changes, and tests going on with google, each time they change something, I have to clear the cache in that particular browser I used, otherwise I get a dump or 404. And whats with all the page redirects to google ca , only thing I can think of this testing by google be playing havok with the DNS servers cache as well ?

This conversation is already going on here >>>>>>>> http://www.testmy.net/forum/index.php?topic=27292.msg315902#msg315902 The archives are for accidental double posts, and "stuff" that has been removed from the main forum for one reason or another, Thanks

That isn't what i was looking for, there is a very large amount of output this test gives, after the test finished, please click the "statistics " tab under the java window, this will open a new windows with information regarding your connection, there is also "more details " tab that shows the settings of the adapter , and tcp output. This information can be used to "track down" issues.

Ok I see what you did. I have used this feature before. just didn't catch it on the first one. My bad. As far as me knowing other routers don't have this problem, it all depends on the config. I'm sitting here wondering why this would be, maybe it's a cable wiring mis match ( there are two ways to wire the terminations , even from different suppiers) or something set within the adapter itself, are you able to test on the ndt server at all ? This might clear up a few things real fast, ten again, maybe show nothing.

Well I'm of the type where going out to get something other then what I have is the last resort, although I can understand everyone is not like this. Some people call it ocd, I call it learning I don't allow inanimate objects to get the best of me, well, most of the time. If your serious about getting a new router, and enjoy setting up your network for security, and usability, my suggestion would be the Linksys WRT54G or N (whatever) , or other DD-WRT capable device. I suggest this due to the fact you are running a Linux distro, so this to me means you are well capable of configuring something more then just a router to get online. Even if your relatively new to linux, you can still use the features in DD-WRT. What you have already posted shows your more then capable. I dunno if your familiar w/ DD-WRT ? As for knowing exactly the the problem is, this can be done in steps and deducting what has been ruled out. What is normal for one router config, may not reflect what is "normal " for another, so this will never be a constant. Maybe I missed it in your code brackets, but I didn't see any proof that there is a static Ip set up. And that the DHCP server is still running on the wireless side which is what you want. Did you run the test at the ndt server site ? Will you upload the config and post it ? Maybe I can see something in there that will tell me whats going on.

I skimmed the thread, and didn't see what MB you have, it's probably right in front of my face, I seem to have some some of temporary blindness from time to time, can you post it, and I'll look a bit for something, anything to get to the bottom of this. For one I wanna know what the hell is going on so when I run into it, I already know, see.

Another thing, have you thought of setting up the machine that is primarily connected as static ? You could use the subnet "192.168.1.XXX " , this way, any other machine that connect will get the same priority ( if you set it up that way ) on either wireless , or wired. As many machines as happen to allow will still be able to connect wirelessly on a separate subnet , in this case 192.168.2.XXX.
