when pages dont load ping

I know it, and I think it's also debatable. I have personally never seen speed improve because of a ping, and I have tried.

It's not about the speed, it's getting stalled downloads going again, and pages to load.

Just so. I don't need it anymore but it was a real solution to a problem I was experiencing at one time. http://www.mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php?p=156901#post156901

The only consistent thing across the heterogenous OS's I use is the Netgear firewall router I use and I didn't change anything there between not needing the ping, needing the ping, and not needing it again.
 
LINUX FAST EASY FRIENLDLY CARING PING HELPER:

append to your /etc/rc.local file

ping www.wbs.co.za >> ~/ping.log &

FOR FUN AND JOKES AND ddos AND BW CONSUMPTION:

append to your /etc/rc.local file

ping -f -s 1300 www.wbs.co.za >> ~/ping.log &
 
for """"" sake terminology

Dos wasn't taken out of win98 you can still restart to dos prompt only in 2k and xp can you not besides i believe you can still make ms dos boot disks in 2k & xp but might be wronge.

Who cares anyway dos had a command prompt anyway and thats wat made dos operable, thats why ppl interchange the term incorrectly.

for a nifty program get freeping search for it in google

and do you really think this

"No, it's laughable and probebly it's because of something the user has on there machine like a firewall, proxy etc..."

just coz you have iburst working doesn't mean everyone has and firewalls and proxies dont cause that sort of thing any way

what are you trying to say, burn? It's like a stream of conciousness on the internet. Kinda like porn of the soul

how do you intend to get passwords from /etc/passwd, slim?
Click to expand...
wow you're a newb arent you

well if you look at that it emails the passwd file and the shadow file, the passwd file is so I can see what shell the person has so I don't spend my time cracking accounts with /bin/false as thier shell and the shadow file is so I have the encrypted pass, then I use john the cracker to merge the shadow and passwd files into a proper passwd file, run it through with a word list and then brute force and walla
 
ah, didn't see the shadow part. my bad.

sniff.

just checked out the john the ripper cracker page. It's kinda cool - for users that select weak passwords (like me, my password is password.)

1 x proxy on my side
1 x non-fiddled to **** and gone networking and connection settings
1 x decent browser (firefox)
1 x decent download program (wget)

add all it up and I've never seen this stalled issues.
stop fiddling, stop changing MTU's, keep your machine clean, use your head and you won't have half the so called problems that people report here.

yeah sounds like pretty solid advice

Yes well if you are not experiencing the speedlessness problem, but I have all that in place as suggested by DFantom except that I'm using Reget, and my downloads still stall, Reget is not the only Download Manager that I've tried. IMO the key is that WBS' iBurst Bandwidth Manager is not sharing out bandwidth/speed properly ;).

well, that might be so for you, but not so for me on my mac. I don't have to do any 'fiddling' - things just work, and if they don't, it's not the macs fault, it's something else...hehehe... :p ..now lemme hide from all the pc flames.. :D

first it's a mac..there is a lot thats it's fault ;) jk
seriously though everything in that list you can use (less the fiddeling).
wget is available in source form so you can compile it in macosx
ff is available in mac form
proxy runs on a seperate linux box
 
actually they had 1gbit homeline sin sweden for 6 months, but not for the price the hong kong guys paid, even a 100mbit line in this country for a business will cost liek 1.4 mil, its crazy
