Re: [PLUG] Verizon DSL modem/bridge


To clarify my network setup I made a diagram. http://dpagin.net/images/net-xfig.gif If provide more details later.

In an unrelated note, here is a Super Saiyan Tux that I created with the GIMP. http://dpagin.net/images/SS_Tux-2.jpg

I'm connected right now, but the response is not steady or fast. The wireless link is good, but the Internet connection is losing packets.


There should be no difference between these two as far as the Internet connection is concerned unless there is some problem on your local network, or there is some configuration difference between the computers on the different links.

What is your topology?

What are these counters looking at?

Are these pings? to where? Are you pinging your local ISP's gateway to your DSL connection? or something up-stream from that?

I also forgot to ask earlier -- is this a new connection? If it is, the problem is most likely with the ATM cloud behind the DSLAM which connects you to your ISP. My experience has been that it takes "a while" (more than one iteration) to get that circuit provisioned correctly... especially if the changes don't get backed up and they have to reload the CO switch with yesterday's parameters.
