Concurrent Users- Help/Advice

[magicman]

Maybe someone can give me some advice, I have installed the Stats Analyser, On 22/06 it shows that there where 2 conc conn with an overlap time of 1hr 41min 18sec. Uploaded was 79mb, Downloaded 126mb with a total of 205mb. Is this ok to have two concurent connections, I have a wireless setup aswell as a Lan on my Telkom Router/Modem. Ok ant1bOdy, this is your baby, please advice. Thanks

Is the one pc that connect via Wireless dialing in manually???

Or does the router dial in ?

There are 3 instances where this can occur i think:

1 - You don't disconnect properly and initiate a new connection because of a power failure or some-such. This is the reason that most ISP's allow at least 2 concurrent connections as it takes quite a while for the old connection to self-disconnect, but still using the same telephone access point.

2 - You are using a dial-up connection to initiate the PPPOE connection form within your network, and are initiating more than one dial-up connection at the same time, but still using the same telephone access point.

3 - You and somebody else are connecting at the same time to the same PPPOE account from different telephone lines.

All of these are perfectly normal and allowed unless:
Instance number 3 will not be allowed if the ISP is providing an uncapped solution, but that's usually the ISP's problem, and not yours.

Firstly thanks for the response, Napalm my router dials in for my wireless connection, I just switch my wireless on

Stoke, thanks for the help, I think my pc might be doing its own dialup thing.

I wanted to be sure my system was not being used by some else.

Once again thanks guys
