Hardware :: Slow Responses With Eventual Loss Of Router

Jul 7, 2010

I have a home network consisting of 1 Linux box running Fedora 13, a laptop running Windows XP, and an HP Officejet Pro L7780. With the Fedora 13 box I have Firefox 3.6.4. I have noticed in the last couple of days a very sluggish response seemingly one site, amazon.com. I'll connect to the site but Firefox remains loading the page and parts of it will be missing. If I search for a particular item it takes forever to display parts of the newly requested page. I have hit stop and then refresh and sometimes the page will then come up although it's never 100%. Eventually I'll loose my router (which by the way is a Linksys BEFSR8.1 v3.01), in that if I ping it I'll get the error that it is unreachable. The laptop also looses access to the router. I'll then reset it (unplug/plug) and it'll come back up ok until I go back to Amazon and start searching again.

My question(s) are:
Can a router go bad and just show up bad with one site initially? In other words is the router slowly dying?Can a problem with a site affect the router this way?I have also changed my namserver settings in /etc/resolv.config and on the router with no real change in symptoms. It's always Amazon and I don't seem to have issues with any other sites that I visit. Any clues?

OpenSUSE :: Very Slow Responses When Running Pandora

Oct 19, 2010

I have a pretty quick machine, quad core 2.66GHz duo processor, nice ASUS motherboard, high speed memory bus and so on. Basically, this is not a machine that's getting "maxed out" by playing some music.Load averages for the 4 processors according to htop are 1.48, 1.25, 0.85. Looking at the System Monitor CPU history I am seeing an average of perhaps 25% load.

However, when I am in a shell, I am getting a second or longer waits between key presses at times.My only guess as to why is that may be is that the streaming audio is on some very high priority so everything else gets put on the back burner. In any case, does anyone have any experience with this and a possible tweak that would give everything else a "fair go" so things didn't seem so unresponsive?

Networking :: VEERY Slow Internet Responses

Jul 14, 2010

Several days ago responses to many, but not all, of my internet requests slowed from long to never.I'm on Verizon FIOS; running Firefox on a Debian Lenny system with 6GB or RAM and 500GB HD with 32GB cache.

internettrafficreport.com shows index of 84 for North America. I've pinged a few sites -- see returns from 16ms to 91ms.I've also rebooted my Verizon DSL router.

Debian Configuration :: Squeeze Installed - Slow Responses To Ping

I've tried disabling ip6, disabling avahi and adding options single-request to my /etc/resolv.conf - problem remains. If it helps when installing Squeeze was prompted to install firmware-realtek, which I didn't have. So downloaded onto usb from another machine installed once setup was complete.

Ubuntu :: Slow Start Up And Loss Of Wireless?

Jul 6, 2011

I switched to Ubuntu from Windows a few months ago and have had it all working fine since.

I turned on my system today and did some updates, then restarted but after the boot selection screen which I cant use as I have a USB keyboard the screen went to that purple/pink colour and froze for ages. Eventually my desktop appeared so I tried restarting it again and the same thing happened. Before from the boot selection to my desktop would only take 5 seconds or so but now it takes about 3 minutes.

Also since the updates I can't connect to my wireless network. I was using the Windows Wireless Networks software from the Ubuntu Software Centre, now when I try opening it manually it just hangs. I tried removing it and reinstalling it but still no joy.

I may have been too trusting with the updates so didn't read the list, I just updated and restarted and thats when the problems started.

I'm not quite sure what information you need but here are the bits from the System Monitor:

Release 11.04(natty)
Kernel Linux 2.6.38-8-generic
GNOME 2.32.1

On windows I would have considered myself an intermediate user but since switching to Ubuntu I feel like a beginner again although im learning fast.

Networking :: Internet Is Very Slow With Slackware 13 Router

May 16, 2011

I just installed and configured Slackware on an old computer I am using as a router.

The internet works fine on the slackware box (router) but all of the computers behind it are having issues. When browsing, some websites work perfectly fine, while others are slow to load, and a few don't load at all. I'm not really sure where to start on diagnosing this, so any help would be appreciated.

Also whenever I restart the computer, I have to use this command before the DHCP server will start. What do I have to do to get it to start up with the computer?

Slackware :: Slow Dns Resolution With A Netcomm Router?

Jul 26, 2010

i have a nb5plus4w modem/router at home which acts as a dhcp server on my lan. upon connection it instructs the clients to use 192.168.1.1 as a dns server (which is the ip address of the router) and linux machines are happy to use that in /etc/resolv.conf. now the issue is that under these conditions dns resolution is sloooow. there have been some discussions on the net saying that the router is not a 'real' dns server (don't know what that means), but the only way i have been able to get around the issue is to edit /etc/resolv.conf to use my isp's dns servers and then chattr -i the file so that dhcpcd doesn't change it.

this approach works for the desktop and even though it is ugly it's effective. the laptop is a different issue. if i take it out of the house i have to chattr -i and let the new network put it's dns addresses in and then change it all back when i get home so, the question is... can i do something to stop doing chattr and get the dns performance of a windows machine (dns resolution is quick on the windows machines)?

Fedora Networking :: File Transfer Through Router Slow

Aug 5, 2009

this is all on LAN.Whenever I transfer files through the router A to a pc connected wirelessly, the internet hit the speed of molasses. What can I do to rememdy this? I was thinking about having my fedora box connect wirelessly to the internet, through router A, and then bridge via ethernet to router B and then have my pc always connected to router B, so when i transfer files, router A remains unaffected. Is this correct logic?

Ubuntu Networking :: Jaunty Wifi Very Slow - 327W Router

Jun 14, 2010

I was introduced to Ubuntu about a year ago and recently decided to come back to using the OS. I now dual boot it with Windows XP Home. My former setup was with Wubi but now I have it installed on an actual partition. (The Wubi install, for whatever reason, had little internet problems.) I use wireless internet, and though my network card was recognized out of the box and can connect to my network, the Internet is very slow. It takes almost a minute to look up Google. Also, Firefox will often report that it cannot find the server for whatever website I try to look up, after trying to connect to it/look it up. I also cannot access the web configuration page for my router. (192.168.1.1). The network app reports that I often have a signal strength of 40% or lower. The following is my hardware/internet:

Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty
TrendNet TEW-424UB adapter (54mbps)
Westell VersaLink 327W router
ISP: CenturyTel/CenturyLink High speed internet (512kbps)

I am the only Linux computer on my network. (There is no encryption on my network. I know there should be. but my parents are not very computer literate and they are the ones who have access to the network. It is easier just to go without.)

I have tried disabling ipv6, setting custom DNS server names under ipv4, and setting the wlan rate (or something similar) to 1492. Nothing works. This does not seem to be a network problem because my internet works fine in Windows, and I can access the configuration page for my router to change channels, PPP, etc..

OpenSUSE Network :: Adsl Modem Acting As A Bridge To My Router Setup - Connection - Internet Went Slow ?

Jun 19, 2011

I have an adsl modem acting as a bridge to my router my setup was working well for more than year now , but then the internet went slow . I set the modem back to PPPoE the problem was with the DNS server of the ISP so using ifup i set the dns t 8.8.8.8 (google) the connection is back , but when i set the modem back as a bridge slow internet does the router know that my dns is 8.8.8.8 or i should set the dns on the router ? I can't see an option to set the dns on the router ( i just enter my username and password from the isp to use PPPoE mode ) by the way i called the isp support they kept telling me to restart , i told them i did but i never restarted my pc . I'm sure if i tell them i'm running linux they will blame the os !

Fedora Installation :: F10 Live CD - PC Got Frozen - No Responses From Anything

Jul 12, 2009

My hard disk is blank now due to some faults I made in installation.I made a USB stick from which can start Fedora 10 livecd image successfully. My USB device is only 2GB, so livecd image is my only choice. Everything is fine in live cd system. but when I try to install system to hard disk, my PC got frozen - no responses from anything. This situation only happens when I set up the partition and began to write image to the hard disk. It happens at about 5 percent of the progress bar every time. It seems I can't install F10 this way.

So I tried another way : using this LiveCD USB Stick, install it in text mode. However, strange thing came up too: when I finished install the system , it tips "reboot". so I pressed "reboot", however it start KDE and then got frozen again. When I restart PC by "reset" button, it tips me can't find OS - insert system disk and press Enter. It's a BIOS message , so I think at least GRUB is not working. But why and how this happens? I set up them correctly without error tips. But now it can't be started. I set GRUB to be installed in MBR during the installation. My hardware is like this : AMD 5000+ black edition , 4GB RAM , ati 3200 video card , 320GB hard disk (sata port).

Server :: SSH Frozen Display - Maybe Missing Responses

Apr 12, 2010

I'm having a problem with connecting over ssh to a server (wrdsvr) that has me perplexed. I'm using putty to connect from my WIndows VM desktop to a SLES 9 server. If I connect to wrdsvr from my desktop over ssh and run certain commands with multi-line output, the display freezes after the first line. If I connect from my desktop to a different server (oksvr), and then from oksvr I connect to wrdsvr, then there is no problem. In fact, by running 'w' after connecting in that roundabout way I can see that subsequent commands I type into the frozen window still run.

I just can't see anything in the window itself as the display is frozen. I have sshd logging running in debug mode on wrdsvr and there is nothing produced during this. There is also nothing in the putty event log. If I type 'exit' in the frozen window, the server sees the connection as closing normally and then gone. Usually my putty window would then close automatically, but in this frozen case it doesn't. So although it is sending characters I type in, it doesn't seem to be receiving the output in return.

commands that run successfully are:
w
ls
man
less

commands that cause the display to freeze are:
ps ax
ls -l
top (for this one I don't even get the first line of output, it freezes immediately)

The machine I'm connecting from is a VMFusion guest running Windows XP. I get this behavior connecting using putty, but I also installed a demo version of securecrt (when this issue occurred previously) which saw the same problem, but I can't repeat it as my license expired. (Last time the issue went away while I was troubleshooting an immediate service-affecting problem on that and a number of other servers and I don't know what fixed it!) I exported the putty registry keys and the profiles for the two servers are identical. I tried loading the profile for oksvr and temporarily changing the hostname to wrdsvr, but saw the same issue. I am connecting over a Cisco VPN.

My colleague is on the local network and does not see this issue when he connects to wrdsvr using putty. We are both using the same version of putty 0.60. Here is the background on the servers. Both wrdsvr and oksvr are running SLES 9. My actions just before I noticed these issues were the following. I updated them using you (yast online update) to the latest patch versions. Using the rpms from Novell, I installed binutils, make, gcc, and glibc-devel and finally VMware tools on both. I then rebooted. Since then I've run you again but that hasn't changed anything. I've compare the installed patches using diff and they are the same. Now I'm working my way through the output of rpm -qVa on each one, but nothing so far.

Programming :: Bash For Loop - All Responses On One Line

Nov 18, 2010

I'm writing a mass snmp toner check which polls any toners available to be snmp polled, however when using a loop statement I get the results on different lines; which sounds good, however the tool I use to check with (nagios) ignores the new lines.

Is there any way I can get the output on one line? Also, I need to raise a fault if any of the toners are below a specific level (with nagios you raise faults with the exit code) - any way I can do this without exiting the loop. Code below with bits and bobs commented out.

Code:

Ubuntu Networking :: IP Address - No Responses Received For Pings

Aug 6, 2010

I am having (seemingly) random trouble with my wired network ever since I installed Lucid. I have no problem getting an ip address from dhcp. However, randomly the computer will boot and although I have an ip address I do not receive any responses for pings on the network nor can I browse the web. If I sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart a few times (or reboot) it will start working. However, restarting the networking services (as mentioned above) again will cause me to no longer receive responses for pings or browse the web.

Furthermore, I have never been able to successfully ping if I manually set an ip address. I have un-installed network manager and I am using /etc/network/interfaces to configure the network. Using Lucid Lynx 64bit on a Dell Precision. I have pasted below the output of a few working commands. When I switch between static ip and dhcp I am commenting/uncommenting the lines shown in /etc/network/interfaces.

Server :: Unpredictable 403 Responses For Image-parsing PHP Script?

Jan 14, 2011

I've got a page with an elaborate javascript in it (imageflow) that is meant to emulate the apple coverflow that you see on iPhones. It wasn't my idea to use it but I must fix it.

This elaborate javascript, in order to show reflections of an image, makes use of a PHP script that will take an image as input, invert it vertically and create a reflection image dynamically. The script is called reflect2.php.

The problem I'm having is that the reflect2.php script is unpredictably returning 403 (forbidden) or 404 (not found) errors sporadically. The behavior will vary for a given image so it's apparently got no relation to the image format. For example, I will load my page and I'll get some 403/404 for certain urls (which correspond to images in my page):

FIRST ATTEMPT - only one bad reflection image url

The second time I load the same page, that previously broken image will be fine but this other one will be broken
SECOND ATTEMPT url

The third time, all the prior images are fine and this image, which was fine before, is not 403:
THIRD ATTEMPT url

I don't know why a given request to reflect2.php might result in a 403 reponse. As far as I can tell there is no code in the script that would result in such a header being sent for any reason whatsoever. I'm wondering if this might be a problem with Apache somehow. I'm on thin ice when it comes to Apache configuration values but perhaps there's a limit in the simultaneous connections permitted, the number of PHP threads available, or the keep-alive values or something?

Ubuntu Security :: What Firewall Rules Would Recommend For Receiving Forwarded DNS Query Responses To Server

Jun 6, 2011

I have my own internal bind9 server, for my local domain, and I forward internal requests for public domains to OpenDNS servers. This server is not in a DMZ, but is instead behind an dynamic NAT. I do not accept queries from the public network, only responses. I understand that DNS is primarilly a UDP protocol, so it can't pass through a stateful/nat. without a firewall allow.

I've done a little reading and learned that bind9 does not run 53 <-> 53 anymore (is now >1024 <-> 53), and modified my config so it works like bind4 did, but I am concerned that this makes me less secure. additionally, I'd really rather not have a completely open 53 rule, but it seems that if I constrain 53 traffic to my known forwarders, it interfers with some of my network services like transmission. so, what firewall rules would you guys recommend for recieving forwarded DNS query responses to my server?

Ubuntu Networking :: DHCP Server No Longer Responses To DHCP Requests - Can't Ping Gateway

Oct 22, 2010

Back in April I set up a Ubuntu DHCP server and a multiple VLAN network [URL] to migrate our various servers, workstations, etc off the 192.168.1.1 /24 network that everything was on because we where running out of address space. I built out the new network and everything worked great except our AD server would never get an IP address from the DHCP server (static reservation) and even if I set the IP statically on the AD server it couldn't ping the gateway and noone could log in. After several attempts to resolve this, including bringing in outside help, we where never able to figure out what the problem was.

Now 6 months later I have time to revisit the issue without effecting the live network. I used Acronis and imaged the AD server last Friday, cloned it on to another box with the same hardware, and put it up on the new network that's been sitting unused for the last 6 months. Today when I statically set the IP on the AD server (which is what I want) it connects and I can ping it's gateway 192.168.1.1 and all the way across vlans to a test sales agent workstation at 192.168.8.xxx on vlan 800 but only if I statically assign the agents station an IP address. When I try to get an IP address via DHCP it fails as destination unreachable. Nothing has changed in the last 6 months on the DHCP server but now it for some reason can't ping its default gateway 192.168.1.1. All of the config files are the same as they where left from the post linked above aside from the vlan id's used where changed from 1's to 100's (i.e. vlan 3 is now vlan 300) /etc/network/interfaces

Code:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto vlan100
iface vlan100 inet static

[code]....

why it can't reach the gateway, when I do a tcpdump I can see the DHCP requests come in on eth0 but the server never responds and I'm pretty sure its because it isn't "seeing" them since it thinks there isn't a network connection but I don't know how to trouble shoot to find out where the problem lies.

Networking :: Setting Up Linux Box As IPv6 Router To Replace Netgear WNR1000 Wireless Router?

Jun 18, 2011

I want to set up a Linux box as a wireless router to replace our existing Netgear WNR1000 router, as I believe the Netgear does not support the coming IPv6 protocol. Unfortunately, it is not flashable with OpenWRT or DD-WRT presently.

As we have Comcast, our cable modem acts as a dumb modem according to the customer support guy I talked to, and our router is the one that asks for the IP address from DHCP. Thus, when Comcast switches over to IPv6, I don't believe my existing router would work, correct?

My idea is to take a Linux box and put two NICs and a wireless adapter in it, using IPCop or Smoothwall to set up a router. I could then enable IPv6 support for when we have IPv6 with Comcast. Is that possible? Would there be a way to get BIND to hand out private IP addresses in the same subnet on the both the LAN NIC and the wireless card?

Networking :: Set Up A Laptop As A Router To Connect Wirelessly To ADSL Router?

Nov 6, 2009

I have a desktop PC running Ubuntu 9.10 and Windows 7, and a Eee PC 701 laptop running EasyPeasy Ubuntu 9.04. I'd like to connect the desktop to the laptop with a wired connection (eth0), then the laptop to my ADSL router using wireless (ath0).

I have a crossover ethernet cable (I bought on ebay). I have set up my laptop with a static IP address on my LAN and it uses OpenDNS.

I have added this to /etc/sysctl.conf on the laptop:

net.ipv4.ip_forward=1

Then I tried this on the laptop:

sudo iptables --table nat --append POSTROUTING --out-interface ath0 -j MASQUERADE
sudo iptables --append FORWARD --in-interface eth0 -j ACCEPT

This is a variation on what I found on other sites describing how to set up a router. I don't understand iptables very well, but I gather that the above two lines should set up forwarding so that traffic from my router to the laptop will be forwarded to the desktop, and vice versa.

But this doesn't work. The connection doesn't even establish between the laptop and the desktop.

Networking :: Network Setup - Router - Wireless Router Card ?

Apr 24, 2010

I'm having trouble getting my network set up the way that I want it/had it. You see, when I first set up my network, I just had my cable modem going directly to my standard wired router (A D-Link DI-604), which had DHCP,and was connected to all of the computers on my network. I had one switch hooked up to one of the ports of the router, but this was a regular switch, and it would not try to assign IP addresses, it would just pass through the DHCP info as I wanted.

Now however, my network setup has changed. My room mate and I both got laptops, and we decided that we wanted to have wireless access so we didn't have to constantly plug in to the router.

Now my network is set up like this: The modem is hooked up to the router(DI-604), which is hooked up on the LAN side to our computers, our switch (which is hooked up to 3 more computers), and to a wireless router card (A Gigabyte GN-BC01).

The wireless router card has two jacks for ethernet. One for WAN, and one for LAN. The LAN side we have plugged only into the computer in which the card is installed.

Now the problem is this: The wireless router card comes with DHCP by default, and it's assigning addresses to the laptops and to the computer hat it's in, and worse, the IP addresses are on a different subnet than that of the main dlink router. The Main (dlink) router assigns addresses from 192.168.0.1 (itself) to 192.168.0.254, while the wireless router card assigns addresses from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254 (itself).

Because of this, I cannot access services on the wireless network from my wired network or vice versa. The first thing I tried was setting the card to assign addresses from 192.168.0.12 to 192.168.0.253, however it just said "internal error" when I tried to do this. I decided that this may be because it sees that it was being assigned an address on it's WAN side on the same subnet. So the next thing I tried was disabling DHCP and setting the "LAN IP Address" to 192.168.0.12, hoping that the DHCP would just go through the card, like a switch. I would have set the LAN IP address to be assigned by DHCP, but this was not an option, so I decided that'd be the best thing to set it to.

Once again however, setting the LAN ip address to an address on the same subnet as that of the IP assigned to it's WAN side caused it to report an "internal error". I verified that this was the issue by setting the LAN address to several other private IP addresses to test (I.E. 10.0.0.1, 192.168.3.1, 192.168.5.12).

My question then really is: How do I set up both routers so that I can access services and computers from each network from the other network. Should I set them with different subnets and set the gateway on the wireless network to the main router? To the wireless router card? Should I put them on the same subnet? Will it know how to communicate?

Ubuntu :: Slow Startup, Plymouth Not Showing, Slow Desktop Load?

May 3, 2010

I'm an Ubuntu user since Jaunty, and I've always upgraded my system (NOT fresh install). Everything went fine, but yesterday I upgraded to Lucid. My only concern -for now- deals with startup time. I'm a desktop user (Core2@3GHz) so I think I should boot in less than 10 seconds. Anyway, boot time is 30 seconds - not too much, but there is definetly something wrong with tools I don't know (ureadahead, plymouth, etc.). Attached is my bootchart: can anyone explain me what's wrong?

Also, I don't even see a plymouth Ubuntu themed bootsplash: I only see a blank (black) screen standing for seconds, then I see the bootsplash for less then half a second, then GDM appears :S Not crucial -I know- but how can I fix it? (I don't know if it's related, but I can see the animation at shutdown)Finally, GNOME desktop takes too long to load. I don't know why, but there are 15/30 seconds in between login sound and a usable desktop (with panels and icons, I mean).Please help me, I don't want to do a fresh install. Boot speed is not a dial with desktops - I know - but it can be a symptom that my system is a bit a messy (and I don't like it, since I installed Jaunty less then 1 year ago). (!Forgot! I also installed grub2 by hand
