Loss of LCP last night

Ray · May 11, 2008, 09:14:48

Did anyone else lose LCP connnection last night just before midnight mine went down at 23:59 and took until 02:13 to successfully reconnect I kept getting Chap authentication failures. BT at it again I wonder?

Rik · May 11, 2008, 09:17:11

It's likely to have been BT, Ray, but let me go check my log...

Nothing in my logs, Ray - so it's not likely to have been an IDNet issue as I think we are both on DSL4.

Sebby · May 11, 2008, 09:58:25

Nope, not loss of PPP here, so was perhaps BT. I'm on GW5 - are you on DSL4?

Baz · May 11, 2008, 10:15:18

tell me about it...

Ive been struggling with a bad line fault all week, now Ive been told that BT dont operate on domestic adsl lines outside of normal hours, so it will be monday now. Last week it was tues cos of the bank hol.

feels like Im on dial up

Sebby · May 11, 2008, 10:16:05

I'm sorry to hear that, Baz. I hope the problem is resolved quickly.

Rik · May 11, 2008, 10:16:39

If you will insist on dealing with a second-rate ISP, Baz.

Baz · May 11, 2008, 10:19:22

BTW you hoping to get back in the other forums

joking Rik, honest, we need you over there. Its not often we get expertise like yours.

Baz · May 11, 2008, 10:25:56

thats a pretty weak sell guys

I heard the same lines before I joined where I am now and that was 7 years ago

Lance · May 11, 2008, 10:26:32

I didn't have any PPP drop last night either - not at those times anyway

My line looks like it has been a yo-yo all night, caused by massive noise margin swings as much as 8db (from 6 to -2). TIme for a resync I think as the current is 2688 at a margin of 17db!

Rik · May 11, 2008, 10:28:20

Messy, Lance. BT must have been unplugging the DSLAM all night.

Lance · May 11, 2008, 10:31:16

Nope - I think it is my line.

I just resynced to 5088 with margin of 6, and then a few secs later the noise margin was down to -1.

edit: From the logs, it looks like 40 loss of signal errors in 24 hours. Not good, and I'm surprised my target noise margin is still 6!

Sebby · May 11, 2008, 10:32:28

It sounds like there's some serious noise fluctuation there, Lance.

Or you're using a Netgear...

Lance · May 11, 2008, 10:33:35

It's on my 2wire! I've had this before, but it always seems to sort itself out after a few days and any line tests IDNet run come back clean.

Baz · May 11, 2008, 10:33:47

im on a netgear too .dont give me more grief please

Baz · May 11, 2008, 10:34:20

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!! netgear rule

You're not alone. Test socket time...

Lance · May 11, 2008, 10:34:49

If only I had one...

We don't need to if you use a Netgear, Baz.

Baz · May 11, 2008, 10:35:34

when you use the test socket and you have a faceplate fitted do you need to put a filter in too
