B.Ob. Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 This goes to the people that have been posting the past few days: Has the forums been slow or timing out for anyone besides me? At best, its a it little slow, and its the same for me at home or accessing the forums from work. I know the router has been of questionable reliability lately and I have a brand new replacement on my desk here, ready to go in when I get home. I made some changes to the forums to cut down on its load, but no change for me so far... If it ends up being the unix box, I'm gonna beat that thing like a "Fax machine from Office Space" after we get the new box running properly. *TEST EDIT* now that the new router is in place... same. Grrrr Plug it directly into the router, instead of the SMC switch. It seems to work like it should *gasp* 3 edits in a row, and no time outs!

ParoxysM Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Has been slow...wait avg 20 sec after clicking links. Sometimes timesout, especialy at work through proxy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 I've been noticing slowdowns for some time now, but didn't want to say anything about it since I figured U had enough on your mind @ the time. I get the slowdowns while @ home OR @ work. -- Nem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 As of right now, I'm noticing a HUGE improvement w/ posting speeds. I hope U didn't get too many more gray hairs on that head of yours over this!! -- Nem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Interesting development here... I'm getting quick responses when I first "reply" to something, but when I "submit" my post, I'm now seeing a delay of 5 - 8 sec's. This wasn't happening b4. This could be a simple fluke & nothing more may come of it later on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.Ob. Posted January 14, 2004 Author Share Posted January 14, 2004 Gray hairs? Me?! They would be part of the family.... But really, now that it is kinda (stressing kinda!!) fixed, I recall doing something similar when we were in Clarence, but I just plugged the box into a different port on the same switch! The current unix box is finickier than a /MUTE ON /MUTE OFF Needless to day, I've been doing reading on getting the new box set up properly, but it will take a while longer yet. (qmail, apache, mysql, virtual/multiple domains, then this board program make up my short list). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not like it make a diffence now that you got the other one on the why, but just an idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobsbrat Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Oh sure... blame the poor unix box.... I know I KNOW!!! I was suppose to have the new one going... If I only had more hours in a day.... If I had a job in Buffalo, I'd have all the time in the world!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'll have to get that in tonight. There are still 6 machines plugged into the SMC switch and none of them have problems!! I even moved my own machine to that same port that unix was plugged into and no prob for me! Trust me, I've seen this before on our Unix box, its a crazy box!! AMD 300MHz, Linksys v2 nic, 256Megs of RAM, with a 10Gig HD. We are migrating to a P3 850MHz, 768 Megs of RAM, 40 Gig 7200 HD, with an Intel 1000/MT nic, so life will be better soon!

ParoxysM Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 Seems better now...or maybe cause it's 4:52am Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.Ob. Posted January 15, 2004 Author Share Posted January 15, 2004 Seems better now...or maybe cause it's 4:52am Cool beans, glad to see someone 2nd it!! I put the dlink giga-bit switch in this morning, but the Unix box is still plugged into the router directly. Things should be even peppier once I can make "fax machine/Office Space"ness on the current unix box!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 Posting times are mucho better now. I still sometimes see slow response times when trying to get back to the main posting page, but other than that I see a HUGE difference is speeds now!! I'm not sure if this is my issue or that of the box, but I thought I let U know about it. -- Nem p.s. -- I have a rather good sized sledge hammer over here that we can use on the soon to be "office spaced" unix box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.Ob. Posted January 16, 2004 Author Share Posted January 16, 2004 The slowness is a problem with the box!! But it is responding and not timing out like before. Now back to my qmail reading.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.Ob. Posted January 17, 2004 Author Share Posted January 17, 2004 FYI for all - Curious, last 2 nights, we have lost our connection. And it happened twice last night. Hmmm, both times the modem looked to have sync, but I could not ping it from work. Hopefully this is short lived problem.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wargasm Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 I tried telling you guys we need backup batteries on the routing hardware. It makes a big difference. Jau should remember how his switch and router stopped working from a momentary power glitch, made my battery pack beep for just a moment. Then he started plugging the switch into the pack whenever I was there. I know that will take a few $$, you would need them all over the basement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
