List shutdown

Well folks, it was nearly a year ago that I suggest this list be 
shutdown.  I'm starting that process tonight.  :)

Bye.  Thanks. :)  It's been good times.

RTA770W ADSL router - DHCP also Bit-torrent troubles

Hi,
   Over the past few days my Dynalink RTA770W ADSL router
has begun to misbehave in two separate ways:-

Symptoms are:-

-  An existing file transfer ( Bit-torrent download of an ISO ) continues
   successfully but any other transfer requests, DNS lookups or web
   access times out. (Both on the Wireless and on the Ethernet connections)
   This problem "goes away" (for a while) after rebooting the router.

-  Wireless access DHCP does not provide a working DNS address
   (Router configured to get DNS when it connects to the ISP then
    supply this via it's DHCP service). However after I hard coded
    the ISP's DNS addressed via the Dynalink's menu then the DHCP
    provides DNS reliably again. This problem also "goes away"
    for a while after rebooting the router.

I suspect that the first problem may be due to the large number of
simultaneous connections a torrent transfer can create. Perhaps
this "blows" a limit.

The second problem has only been seen recently after I enabled
the Wireless link on the router. The majority of traffic is not over the WiFi
but instead travels over ethernet between the router and a static IP
address on a Linux Firewall. 

ADSL Router Firmware Version  is 2.18.01.09a_a023g.d15d

Any ideas/suggestions or config changes?

ADSL2+ performance is achievable today

I've just been through an interesting experience with my ISP, Maxnet.
I'm on their standard full up full down "Dash MX MX" plan.  When I saw
on this list that my exchange had been upgraded to ADSL2+, I knew I had
an ADSL2+ capable modem, so I contacted Maxnet to ask why I was only
seeing ADSL1 performance (~7.6mbps).  They were extremely helpful,
providing stats on my line and liaising multiple times with Telecom who
made several tweaks to my line.  Apparently, one of the key factors in
getting ADSL2+ performance is getting your SNR right.  2 days ago, when
I first contacted Maxnet, my SNR was 25db, which is apparently way too
high.

Anyway, to cut a long story short, this morning my line has been
adjusted, my SNR is now at the recommended 12db and my download internet
performance is around 17mbps.  So ADSL2+ performance is achievable today
if you have the correct equipment and your line is properly configured
(and your ISP is as helpful as Maxnet were).

Cheers,

Simon

Re: ADSL2+ here and now?

Will you have to apply to Telecom or your ISP  to go ADSL2  so that 
they can charge you more. ??

ADSL2+ here and now?

So according to Telecom I am on the East Tamaki exchange... and according to the spreadsheet on the Telecom site regarding ADSL2+ rollout, my exchange has been fully upgraded... however Telecom told me today that ADSL2+ is not going live until March...

I have set my router (D-Link G604T) to ADSL2+ MultiMode, but it is only syncing to the exchange as ADSL_G.dmt... and getting my usual 7616kb downstream...Should I be seeing it connect using an ADSL2 mode of some sort (and possibly 10Meg+ connection speed)? or is Telecom going to throw a switch sometime in March and after that it will all magically be ADSL2+?

regards,
Jared

ADSL2 enabled exchanges?

Hopefully this will improve the signal to phishing ratio.

Does anyone know how you would find out if your exchange is ADSL2
enabled? I did some searches and didn't come up with anything useful. 

I've got a very old 3Com duallink modem and it while it works great, I
only get about 2Mb on a good day. I don't really want to upgrade to a
new modem unless my exchange has been upgraded.

Thanks.

FW: shutting down the list

Hi

It has been useful in the past.  Thanks to the host and providers of
information.

Cheers

Subject: [adsl] shutting down the list

The ADSL mailing list has been quiet in 2007.  This post will be the 
16th post in 9 months.

Whatever the reasons, there isn't much traffic.  If the list is no 
longer required, and it appears it is not, it should be shut down.  
There is not much sense in having it around if it's not useful.

The same applies to that chat and broadband lists.  :)
