Packet Loss and Slow Name Resolution

uxbod · Feb 08, 2009, 13:12:39

Anybody else experiencing problems today ? I have rebooted my router twice but still appear to be getting packet loss

Simon · Feb 08, 2009, 13:29:16

Fine here.

Ray · Feb 08, 2009, 13:33:39

No problems here either.

David · Feb 08, 2009, 13:35:30

FF stopped working for me and only just got back

seems ok now

Rik · Feb 08, 2009, 14:10:22

How about mail, David?

David · Feb 08, 2009, 14:13:39

That went up the wall too....shut it all down and its fine now

uxbod · Feb 08, 2009, 14:15:32

Line speed has taken a kicking

Rik · Feb 08, 2009, 14:21:50

So the router lost connection?

David · Feb 08, 2009, 14:33:09

No red light but seems to have

Rik · Feb 08, 2009, 14:43:16

Anything in the log, David?

David · Feb 08, 2009, 14:45:26

I will take a look but I think this was local tbh

David · Feb 08, 2009, 14:58:09

Dropped again page wont load on here or next door will run a scan just in case but its very erratic

hope this posts

Something just went down, David, I'm guessing a router at IDNet as access was lost to the forum, Pals, Orange Bikes and the IDNet website.

Ray · Feb 08, 2009, 15:00:33

Just had the same problem, David, I think something fell over for a few minutes.

David · Feb 08, 2009, 15:02:28

sport=1231 dport=1434 Unknown inbound session stopped

<data removed - IP address showing - Rik>

Does this show anything ?

Rik · Feb 08, 2009, 15:03:42

No, that's just normal firewall activity, David.

David · Feb 08, 2009, 15:05:06

Routers open is there anything you need or want to check ?

Rik · Feb 08, 2009, 15:06:30

No, I think you've just seen the same effects as us, David. Until I can get an explanation, my best bet is that an IDNet router fell over and cut off part of the web, including the forum.

No problems there, David.

I have found Speedguide TCPOptimizer really useful in setting MTU RWIN etc. for target site of choice. We tend to tune for download speed, but when congestion arises and pings go out, adjusting to eliminate loss might benefit.

I had mail issues with pop3.idnet.com using Windows Live Mail (a couple of the 60 second time out messages) and a noticeable slowing of page access/refreshing with IE7 at about the same time as David but here in Stafford so it was not confined to David's local area.

I can see nothing that strikes me as relevant in either the Event Log or the Detailed Log of my 2700 Router.

Rik · Feb 08, 2009, 15:42:26

I'm fairly sure it was a router problem at IDNet, Les. I haven't been able to confirm that yet, but based on last time it happened and the symptoms, that's my gut feeling.
