Sounds like either bad memory or blown caps on the motherboard. Unless you know what you're looking for blown caps will be hard to spot but I've seen plenty of Aopen boards with them. Do a google search for 'blown capacitors' and see what pops up.
Download a copy of memtest, burn it to a CD...
I'm getting ready to purchase a new system. I have drilled down the components that I want, at this point I'm only stuck on the type of memory that I should purchase. I have my list of possibilities narrowed down to three products however, I am open to suggestion if anyone here feels I could buy...
Services.exe randomly decides to eat tons of memory on some of my desktops and servers. Now, before anyone says anything, they are spyware free. I can post HJT logs if you want but I have triple checked these things. Spyware is not a factor in why this happens. It randomly happens to desktops...
Check for the specs on the gig ethernet card from Intel. Most newer gigE cards are PCI 2.2 cards, I think the BX chipsets were 2.1. This will cause issues and most likely is the cause of your poor performance.
Also, I have three Marvell gigE cards that are very slow when I put them on 100mb...
SDSL will also have upload/download speeds the same (symmetric). ADSL is asymmetric, so its upload speeds are generally slower than its download speeds (much like a cable modem).
Yeah, if you type in the IP and you still have the same delay then its not a DNS issue. Almost sounds like a router issue on your cable company's end. Like spidey said, a traffic capture on your end might also help pinpoint the issue.
When you VNC into someone's computer are you going thru your cable modem to a remote system on the internet or are you just connecting to another computer inside your LAN?
It almost sounds like your router is not using the manual DNS values that you're specifying. I also use RR and I've had horrible performance from their DNS servers recently too (same problems you describe above). Have you tried plugging the cable modem straight into your computer and then...
I can't remember of m0n0wall has an option to turn off snort/instrusion detection, if it does turn it off and rerun your tests. Snort eats a lot of CPU power on older systems. Do you have a switch that you can use for your local LAN instead of your router?
The server actually doesn't know where to forward to on the internet. It just knows that whatever addresses it can't resolve will be handled by a server that is higher up. So when you type in google.com your local Windows Server just forwards the request on to your router, which forwards the...
Manny, you're right, the windows firewall doesn't have the built in program notification that many other firewalls offer. However, I still find that keeping tabs on your virus protection and making sure you have a good arsenal of spyware software is better than most software based firewalls. Or...
I think we all agree on him using his internal Windows server as his primary DNS server. We just seem to be at odds on how he goes about making sure that the windows server can forward requests to the internet.
John I see your point but the whole reason of having a secondary DNS at the ISP in the first place is so that in can mask a primary DNS failure. They're supposed to be redundant so that if the primary does go down you have a mostly intact working copy on the secondary DNS server that continues...
