Also the add. for the site is 69.56.184.110, you can type in other stuff and may still get a response but I know for sure that those 2 things will work..... microwave Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/108-no-ping/#findComment-790 Share on other sites More sharing options...

lorne Posted January 7, 2004 Author CID Share Posted January 7, 2004 Microwave I use the ping test from my IP to calculate RWIN right, not the one from testmy.net Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/108-no-ping/#findComment-812 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MICROWAVE Posted January 7, 2004 CID Share Posted January 7, 2004 ) lorne, that is the way you test,essentially you send a noise(ping)down the pipe it goes to the address then is sent back.Hence ping time!Although that is simplistic thats basically the drill.From your PC to wherever and back microwave PS but to calc your rwin I use speedguides TCP-IP Analyzer and OPTIMizer TCP.there are many to choose from but be careful you will get different advise from each,DR>TCP,Cablenut etc.as always its up to you.I think ca3le guy will let this post?I dont want to advertise for competition!! PPS If Im full of shit on any of this ca3le guy will fix it. Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/108-no-ping/#findComment-836 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MICROWAVE Posted January 7, 2004 CID Share Posted January 7, 2004 sounds like you are being routed to some distant domain or server. Who is your IP again? do you know where your 1ST hop goes to? I use McAfee visual trace although there are freeware visual traces which makes it easy at lest for me. microwave Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/108-no-ping/#findComment-842 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MICROWAVE Posted January 7, 2004 CID Share Posted January 7, 2004 Do you get free technical assistance from your ISP? If so it really sounds like some BS is going on with them. I have had a problem with Cox.hsi (not very often)and they help by reseting the modem etc. from their test board.As a matter of fact they have pointed problems on my PC and told me what to do to fix it.No shit and it was free he he.Really the testers at cox in Nevada(when I call)are really helpful and kool. ) microwave Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/108-no-ping/#findComment-860 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorne Posted January 7, 2004 Author CID Share Posted January 7, 2004 Microwave Yeah I do get free technical assistance from my IP, But with this problem I phone when it happens and by the time i get through it's back to normal.So they tell me to phone back when it happens again and so on and so on.They are usually pretty cool though.Thanks for the help Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/108-no-ping/#findComment-862 Share on other sites More sharing options...
