We got a strange problem, Ive got 8 Afrihost business uncapped accounts, on all 8 of them I cannot open the Apple Appstore at all, Apps that I try and download timeout, everything else is perfect, I swopped over to my Mweb Bonded account, and the Apple Store Opened with no problems at all, any Idea what this can be Afriman?

Not an issue I'm aware of. Is it still happening? Can you drop me a PM or email me screenshots of what you see on [email protected].

Seems to be working fine for me :(
 
Anyone else struggling with port forwarding? My dymaic IP from MTN port forwards without issues but as soon as I try to Telnet to my L2TP IP it fails.

Were there some major issues on the network, or in the WCape in particular last night? I could barely manage 2mbps on a 10mbps business account until late into the night.

Camps Bay has some issues and one or two other exchanges. If you were in that area you may have had some problems.

Otherwise, network was running like a bomb all night in the Cape :)

@Afriman, is it possible so that I know if I'm doing it wrong or wasting my time trying ?

So eventually I figured out that like most Billion Routers mine (810) can't port forward from the L2TP to local lan using the web interface.

After hours of searching I have finally been able to get it right, mostly the info below works.


Login: admin <- same login as your webinterface
Password: *****
Login successful.
admin> nat status <- to get your l2tp interface name
NAT enabled on:
ID | Name | Interface | Type
------------------------------------------
1 | nat1 | ipwan | internal
2 | @nat_pppdevice16 | @ip_pppdevice16 | internal
------------------------------------------
admin> nat add globalpool test1 @ip_pppdevice16 internal 105.208.0.9 endaddress 105.208.0.9 <- make the billion aware of that ip, the "test1" can be any name
admin> nat add resvmap map1 interfacename @ip_pppdevice16 192.168.1.100 tcp 80 80 80 80 <- this is the actual port forwarding put into place specify to what ip address , protocol, (start port, end port) for the static ip, (start port, end port) for internal server
admin> system config save

I'd need to get more detail on what you're trying to do. Please drop me a PM with your details and let's get a consultant to call and talk you through this :)
 
@Afriman, can I cancel my static IP via the ClientZone and not be charged, nowhere on your website did it state that I require a compatible router to use this service, the service is useless to me because I use Mikrotik.

Sorry about the mis-understanding, drop me a PM and I'll see what I can do.
When clicking on the Static IP button a pop-up is displayed confirming the details though, was this not displayed on your end?

Activate your Static IP Address for only R50pm
Create a Virtual Private Network and gain stable remote access to your home or business with a Static IP Address on your Business DSL package.

Please Note:

You will need a modem that supports L2TP tunnelling to make use of this service.
Afrihost officially supports the Billion BiPAC 7402GX

The Mikrotik does support L2TP, just not L2TP without IPSEC so maybe you should make a list of supported routers that is displayed. In any case has that message been there from the very beginning or a recent addition because I don't recall seeing that when I activated last week.
 
I find that my DSL line drops and re-syncs every so often. Didn't have much of this problem when on the home uncapped, but since I went to business it's happening noticeable (usually at night). I did increase my speed from 4Mbps to 6Mbps - is this unstable copper line/telkom or something afrihost can glance at?

(my line max sync speed is about 7Mbps)
 
I have just plugged my Billion 7402X in and configured it,

Telnet'ed DMZ setting to my pfsense box onto my elastix box, and the static IP works perfectly.

Took me all but 10mins :D

Mweb's static IP service was giving latency of 120ms, with Afrihost I get 22ms super happy.

Keep up the good work AfriTeam..... :whistle:
 
Past two nights in a row, international has been absolutely shocking for me. Barely 2mbps on 10mbps. Anyone else experiencing it?
 
Guys how is your YouTube streaming on these business uncapped accounts on the whole? I find mine is rather terrible. As soon as it switches to HD it completely freezes and I need to change it back to 480p or whatever. Even at that quality it sometimes just stops buffering. Extremely irritating and been happening over the past few weeks. (6mbps)

Test Google's DNS and see if it changes anything.
