Is your internet uncapped ?

And I also noticed that Free-DC has been ramping up production :-\ Done whoring this thread, you can have it back.

The Free DC may ramp their production as much as they wish but at the Vault level they will loose more than 750 vault points to XtremeSystems before the big mano a mano for MJ12 Top honors happensns

What kind of router? Are you using DHCP through the router? Are you running any other DC projects?

Try persistant connections set to OFF

trying that again and restarting the app now

the "router" is a POS Actiontec dsl gateway with a nat (GT-701wg)

dynamic ip and I refuse to pay Qwest another $10 for a block of 8 static. I can't stand the service anyway as higher bandwidth=higher interleave=still higher latency.

currently running also DIMES and Rosetta on the same (and only) rig.

thanks for your help, Haltech

Supposedly around november. it all depends on what time warner does. If they match Verizons speed, Verizon said they will double theres at no addtional cost.

i pray time warner does that, as they're my provider.

Well, I'm kinda back. Optimum is done working on our lines (phone actually works lol) but I moved half our cables, so my personal comp is offline right now, and the smoothwall ISNT set up. I couldnt figure it out at all! Made a topic on their forum and hopefully they'll help. I'm turning majestic on my bro's comp and my dad's comp (I want my spot back!).

[Bloody_Sorcerer]

thanks for the spot moddo
i might pork my P2 tonight with IPCOP, but we'll see. depends how bored i am and how willing to be doused in dust i am...

[Bloody_Sorcerer]

well, i've set up my P2 box in its old working state and i'm going to attempt to install IPCOP on it, partly out of curiousity and as a viable replacement for my POS router. lets see how this goes

well, its easy enough to install, i just have to wait for my bro's friend to go home before i take down the network and config it.

turning off persistent connections didn't help. not getting excessive errors (>2.5%) aside from the timeouts that gradually increase. I did un-check static 64kb packet size and that seemed to help a little.

PPPoA VC-Mux, router controls DHCP, RFC 1483 bridging, dynamic DNS.

I don't think this poor thing can handle the load to be honest. I don't have the option to put it into 1483 half-bridged mode (DHCP spoofing). Would I be better off putting it into transparent bridged mode and just let XP handle the DHCP?

just checked the stats page and at this point with 220k crawls I've got less than 2000MB downloaded?

Just dont use DHCP on your NICs, use static ip mapping instead.. You will need DHCP for you connection to your ISP, but turn off DHCP in the router for the computers connected.

XSTM, Hook me up.

I'm in.. i can cap it in the program correct? I have a full DS3 here at work, so things *could* get ulgy

[Bloody_Sorcerer]

holy IPCOP/Smoothwall are a PITA to work with!!! 10+ installs and configs later (with various setups) and still absolutely zero success... christ, and to top things off, the downtime on my main rig sustained due to such tinkering will leave me battered and bruised in today's dailies

any XSers with a working IPCOP/Smoothwall box?

Whatcha need BS? I have used both, but am currently using IPCop just cause smoothwall looks to be going comercial.

Shoot me a PM if ya need.

[WesM63]

Thanks for the PM's guys. I'll get it setup next time i'm in the office (monday).

well I went out and bought a Linsys WRT54GS as I still suspected the Actiontec was the cause of all the timeouts. set the Linksys in the Actiontec's DMZ, turned off DHCP and forwarded everything in to the Linksys. set Linsys to static IP like you said, but instead let the Linksys handle DHCP. Right now I'm at almost 10 minutes uptime with 97.5% success rate using 15 buckets and 80 worker settings. and 0% timeouts vs. 50%. Is the Actiontec faulty?

[[XC] gomeler]

That is a hell of a lot better than I manage. I think the routers between me and the web must be screwing up, I manage only a 90.3 to 90.8 success rate :-\ I'd blame your router though. the 54GS is a good router, almost all of linksys' routers are good actually.

[Haltech]

DHCP just screws everything up on the LAN side. It works well on the WAN side, but once in the network, the overhead is just to great for a home router to deal with. I would seriously consider going static ip on the LAN side and call it done. Are you still using the wireless? If so, youre only going to get 20% of what MJ12 uses.

[[XC]thewildblue]

Well with speedboost on my linksys wrt54gs I can get about 3000kb/sec which is the best Ive seen for wireless, so you need a 30mb pipe or bigger to max it properly. Generally though on 54mb wireless I can get about 800kb so anything bigger than 8mb is like haltech a plain ole waste. I always let my server deal with DHCP far more reilable.

Well it was the way they depended on shrek, I mean rooney all the time. Svens tatics sucked as well, just as well it was his game. That was the best match I have seen them play,specially on 10 men, but hey thats life.I dont even like football that much, but you have to have pride in your country.

I'm not actually running my crunching rig on the wireless, just one laptop and very infrequently. main rig is hardwired into the Linksys, which is now the wireless access point instead of the Actiontec. so basically it's a double-NAT setup I guess.

sorry I'm such a complete networking noob, but if I understand it, I should set my NIC to a static IP and just route everything that way?

everything from the Linksys NAT>> Actiontec>>ip should all be on the WAN side now, correct?
