Evening LRH,

I have been running XP Pro for 15 months now without too many issues apart from the colour scheme now changed from pea green boat to windows classic.

I wonder about the popularity having an impact as we are now at about 1200 but only 2 or 3 are logged on.

Incisor must be ripping his hair out 8O

still running win98se , having just a slowdown prob, which is good in one way as traffic is on a slowdown so since i havent been around much of late makes catching up just that little bit easier! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

Hi Guys,

The slowdown is not your operating systems at your end or the number of members on the forum. ( Unless the server has some big Database issues). Looks to me like there is a network delay at the server end. I am running Cable internet and a fast PC and I have seen this site running REALLY slow for a week or so now.


I agree Incisor must be ripping his hair out :!: but there are a heap of reasons this could be happening - some in his control - some outside. The net is a pretty feral place at the moment -

Incisor - I will PM you a copy of a PingPath that I just did seems to point to network slowdown around anthony.a.instant.au
you might already know this but thought it couldn't hurt to make sure ( didn't want to post a full ping path to my machine in public!) 8O

Anyway guys - don't waste time working out why your machines are slow..... cause it's not you!! And as Ferno pointed out you can use the waiting time to catch up on your reading! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]

Well Done Bytemrk,

like i have been saying...

the problem is partially "packet level fragmentation caused by a faulty router." it only affects certain people because of the way they are configured.

xp seems to be affected worse that most others, but i use xp pro without problems and so do many others it seems.

the rest is related to the spam storms that have been hitting the system and many others.

i cannot fix it as the faulty router belongs to an uplink and he is in the USA.

i dont have the money to place it elsewhere as yet so i have to wait it out.

i will be placing it in the pipe-qld telehousing facility when i do get the cash and the hardware, so it will be "very available" ......

Thanks Incisor,

I know working as a network manager myself you must be pretty tired of this subject!

As I said guys... on the net somethings are inside our fearless leaders control.... others are not!....

.... this one appears to need to CA$H to help solve it...

.. any one win lotto recently??
