While browsing the web I stumbled over http://openwrt.org/ the seem to be a wireless Router firmware project , like RouterTech, but based on the Linksys WRT54G/GS series of routers http://wiki.openwrt.org/TableOfHardware?action=show&redirect=toh is a link to a list of all the routers that they have ...

Ive been speaking to Pipex ... they ran a few checks on the line and then arranged a BT engineer to visit to check the line ... at the exchange box he found that the cables had corroded slightly, and a few lines were touching. One of these were my land line. So he's replaced the cables and the noise...

I would post more, but so many of the funnies I receive are not suitable for the RT polite forum. :( That said.....this was on ebaumsworld the other day. A man bought a donkey from an old farmer for $100. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day. Come morning, the farmer drove up and sa...

I have found what I hope is a final solution to these MTU issues. It involves enabling TCPMSS support in the kernel, and then adding an iptables command. This will be in the next release. This is fantastic news, I have a work machine on my network so that I can avoid going into the office whenever ...

Just a as a test I've dropped my MRU to 1300, and now my connection has been stable for 19 hours ...

Could the MRU of 1500 been causing the issue of the connection dropping like I had. Or is it just a fluke and I'll get the drops back after the stable session ???

There seems to be alot of issues reguarding MTU/MRU values lately; I suppose it would be due to the number of users on the Internet nowerdays??

users for once isn't the issue , it the number of machines/xbox's/ps3's/toasters ect causing the issues now

I thought PipeX only offered a fully bundled solution. i.e. Broadband, 01/02 phone numbers and Line rental. Do you pay PipeX for your line rental? If yes have they recently taken over your line from BT? I know they don't do it straight away. I joined pipex about 2 years ago, at that time they didn'...

most of them, I haven't changed the MTU ect ... all the micro filters have been changed, and ether my old class 1 router that was working with this isp has the same sync issues on the same line (after disconnecting my class 2 router) I've tried the master socket with the router running directly from...

yes I've turned off the wireless, the only wireless device I have is my phone and the wireless stack on that is on the blink
