| khoover | hey, can anyone explain why my bandwidth has suddenly dropped like a stone after assigning my computer a static IP? every other computer on the WLAN is running fine, just the static IP'd one. | 01:22 |
|---|---|---|
| DarwinSu1vivor | khoover: check your DNS settings | 02:24 |
| khoover | DarwinSu1vivor, i did, using OpenDNS on both router and network manager | 02:25 |
| DarwinSu1vivor | khoover: what about your speed between you and other machines on the network (not over internet)? | 02:26 |
| khoover | DarwinSu1vivor, i believe it's fine enough, lemme check quick | 02:26 |
| DarwinSu1vivor | k | 02:26 |
| khoover | seems to be slow between the router and the laptop itself, oddly enough | 02:27 |
| DarwinSu1vivor | hmm | 02:27 |
| DarwinSu1vivor | signal strength? | 02:27 |
| * genii-around sips ( not coffee ) | 02:28 | |
| DarwinSu1vivor | genii-around: gonna slide anyone a ( not coffee )? :P | 02:28 |
| khoover | 3 bars on NM, 2 on WiFI Radar | 02:28 |
| * genii-around slides DarwinSu1vivor a ( not coffee ) | 02:29 | |
| DarwinSu1vivor | what did you typically get before (when it worked properly)? | 02:29 |
| khoover | less than that, oddly enough. and as for speed to other computers, getting ping times of 200m | 02:30 |
| khoover | s | 02:30 |
| DarwinSu1vivor | 200ms (that was milseconds not minutes right?) is BAD. I can usually get 30ms to *internet* machines | 02:31 |
| DarwinSu1vivor | dose the problem resolve itself if you put it back on dynamic IPs? | 02:32 |
| khoover | yeah, usually on other computers, it's around 90ms. and haven't tried, running a server, can't forward the ports properly if i do. | 02:32 |
| DarwinSu1vivor | also try dynamic IP's with static DNS (could remove one more item from the trouble-shooting list) | 02:32 |
| DarwinSu1vivor | on a lan you should get about 1 or 5ms even over wireless | 02:33 |
| khoover | DNS is static, have a free one pointing to the dynamic external IP, then the HTTP requests get forwarded to my laptop/server | 02:34 |
| khoover | sorry, my router's DNS is static | 02:36 |
| khoover | gonna see if my router does port forwarding by MAC address | 02:36 |
| khoover | aaaand turns out i'm stuck with the static IP, until i can figure out a way to forward :80 requests to my server on a dynamic IP. | 02:39 |
| khoover | on another note, the server itself was installed at mostly the same time as the switch to a static IP, haven't noticed a drop in network speed till a couple days ago. server got installed about a month ago now. | 02:39 |
| DarwinSu1vivor | leave the router alone, if other machines are fine on the network, then it's not the router, it's the laptop | 02:40 |
| khoover | well, i can't imagine what's changed since i added the server and the network dropped off a cliff. didn't upgrade to 11.10 | 02:42 |
| DarwinSu1vivor | oh, so it's the server with the static ip? | 02:47 |
| DarwinSu1vivor | darn, gtg, sorry | 02:50 |
| DarwinSu1vivor | be back in an hour if you want to continue | 02:50 |
| khoover | the server that also acts as my personal laptop. and sure. | 02:54 |
| khoover | it's a 'buntu box, clearly. | 02:54 |
| DarwinSu1vivor | back | 04:45 |
| DarwinSu1vivor | ping khoover | 04:46 |
| khoover | DarwinSu1vivor, yeah, kinda fell asleep | 10:54 |
