brock01 Posted March 31, 2005 Author CID Share Posted March 31, 2005 i started having this problem about 1, 2 weeks ago, and the only thing that i can think i changed is i moved the router up higher for better signal, and i had to switch the ethernet cords cause one was longer than the other, could hte cords be the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanBuren Posted March 31, 2005 CID Share Posted March 31, 2005 i am running some cable tweaks from you, thats about it beside the P2P fix, its set the max ammount of connections like 1777.... something try 100 also install netlimiter, so you can adjust the bandwidth usage of certain programs www.netlimiter.com VanBuren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brock01 Posted March 31, 2005 Author CID Share Posted March 31, 2005 i tried the 100, and it didnt work, and with the netlimiter, it dosent use all my bandwidth when im downloading, not even close, like ill be downloading at like 30KB and it will not load pages, Could it be the cords? ethernet ones that i switched Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

humorman Posted March 31, 2005 CID Share Posted March 31, 2005 Well I have noticed about the same thing when using file sharing programs I think they are just using more than they say they are or someone is hacking them not sure but happens to me to! And it only happens when I am using a file program and it says it is only downloading at like 30kbs and I dsl! But anyway I have no idea I think those programs just use more than they say!

netmasta Posted March 31, 2005 CID Share Posted March 31, 2005 You should also check your CPU and memory usage when you are trying to brows and use P2P at the same time. Press Ctrl+Alt+del to brin up the task manager and then click on the thrird tab "preformance". Most P2P programs I have used take up all the memory and CPU time I have.

brock01 Posted March 31, 2005 Author CID Share Posted March 31, 2005 well i know its the router now, i just got to fix it, upgrading the fn firmware kicks my ass, i was gonna return it too, but found a stie and helped me out, pretty hard stuff though, dont get it all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cak46 Posted March 31, 2005 CID Share Posted March 31, 2005 If the router firmware upgrade doesn't help, check this out. Open your browser and put in the following ip. For the sb5100 this is where you can see information on your cablemodem. 192.168.100.1 Click on signal tab. What are your downstream and upstream power levels? (SNR is signal to noise ratio) Found this info on another forum: **************** Downstream Power: You generally want between -12db and +12db. Most modems are rated from -15 to +15. Anything less or more than that and you may have quality issues. I personally prefer to not have less than -7db. If you want to raise your signal level a bit, check my troubleshooting and splitter section. Downstream SNR: This number is best over 30, but you may not have any problems with down to 25. Anything less and you will probably have slow transfers, dropped connections, etc. See my "Downstream SNR" definition for more information on this. Upstream Power: The lower this number is, the better. If it is above 55, you may want to see if you can reconfigure your splitters. Anything above 57 is not good and should be fixed ASAP. (This is getting pretty close to not being able to connect.) Upstream SNR: Anything above 29 is considered good. The higher this number is, the better. If this number is below 25 and 29, you have a minute amount of noise leaking in somewhere. If it's anything less than 25, you want to get it fixed as you may have a lot of packet loss or slow transfer rates. See my "Upstream SNR" definition for more info. *************** Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brock01 Posted March 31, 2005 Author CID Share Posted March 31, 2005 i was here today checking out things also to see if it was my cable modem Frequency 597000000 Hz Locked Signal to Noise Ratio 37 dB Power Level 0 dBmV The Downstream Power Level reading is a snapshot taken at the time this page was requested.

cak46 Posted April 1, 2005 CID Share Posted April 1, 2005 Not a clue, but I was wondering, do you have a wired nic in the machine? Could try to connect directly to modem and do same testing to rule out op sys or software issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

php Posted April 2, 2005 CID Share Posted April 2, 2005 what did you change to fix it? it sounds like the p2p program was opening the max number of allowed connectoins through something, and wasnt letting anything else get a connection... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
