Loss of PPP

It would have been about 2.30pm Rik and it took around 20-30 minutes to sort itself out.

That was when the switch problem occurred.

Thanks for the update. I missed that thread, I must have had a pipe and slippers moment 

[Rik]

Depends on what sort of pipe it was.

I'm not sure it was just iDNet that were affected.  I was out yesterday and when I got back my Demon connection was down.  Not just lack of sync but no connection.

I rebooted the modem and got the connection back but forgot to check the logs to see what time it went down.  We've had torrential rain all day so that may have caused it. 

Demon's mailservers were down for almost 24 hours last week, so it's not just iDNet that has problems.

That's very true. With a couple of problems being BT's fault, there is always plently of scope for other ISPs to be affected as well.

seems like Ive had another one

Fri, 2008-11-21 08:01:42 - Initialize LCP.
Fri, 2008-11-21 08:01:42 - LCP is allowed to come up.

will this re set the 145 day count I was waiting on.  I have this

Connection Speed     7936 kbps     448 kbps
Line Attenuation    36.0 db    17.5 db
Noise Margin    8.7 db    23.0 db

at the moment.If after the 14 day,if it gets there, will the noise margin put itself right.it has been 6 before.

[Rik]

It should, Baz. Have you got any more clues as to whether it was a resync or a PPP drop.

[Baz]

sorry Rik  just that log from the router. was out when it happened.


oooo....just had a thought though, we had a brief, maybe 10/15 minute, snowstorm this morn about that time and my better half said there was a bit thunder and lightening too

sorry just checked with her and it was a tad later than my log shows, it was about 8.20am

[Rik]

Netgear logs are, unfortunately, less detailed than they used to be. Do you know if the sync speed has changed, Baz?

[Baz]

dont think so Rik

Connection Speed     7936 kbps     448 kbps
Line Attenuation    36.0 db    17.5 db
Noise Margin    8.8 db    23.0 db

now. it has gone up since the recent prob we had here which was the original drop

[Rik]

It may only have been PPP then, Baz, which won't affect the 14 day target.

[Baz]

ok. if it doesnt get back to what it has been is there anything I can do.I cant remember but since the original drop I may have re-booted once....my fault I know

[Rik]

There's nothing you can do, Baz, and rarely anything IDNet can do. BT use the argument that if the noise margin was raised for stability, then it needs to be at that higher figure. However, hopefully, a 14+ day sync will reset it to 6db, that's what is meant to happen.
