sashwa  sent me the invite and I accepted it before setting up the DNS client. I am using a PPPoE connection to connect to my ISP. After reading the FAQ, I'm thoroughly (and I mean thoroughly) confused by what DNS client to use, but I ended up downloading, installing, then uninstalling the DynSite one. When the setup screen showed up in DynSite for devices to be configured (network card) is where this whole process lost me. I need help with DNS client setup.
I've looked at some of the speeds shown on the various line monitors set up in the EPN forum. I wonder if it is really worth it for me to set up line monitoring as I am barely broadband at 512/512 up/down.
I did set up DSLR's Line Monitoring. That part was easy. The line number is 230628. It will start monitoring once it has my dynamic IP. I have no more time tonight to devote to this endeavour and I shall return tomorrow to get this up and running
Gotta love technology!

I just found something out last night about the line monitoring and forgot to post it. 
There is no need for third party software - if your IP changes, you can always edit your monitor to reflect the new IP.
You just need to do 2 things:
1) enter static IP
2) check the "dynamic" box
You must do both.
So don't let having a dynamic IP stop you from joining in.

said by Beringse :Question-high ping times can result from power outages correct? well yes if your machine has no power/is un-pingable, pings would time out. 
Do you mean power outages elsewhere cause high latentcy?
Not directly but if routers are down due to power loss, you may be routed via less optimized routes, which may be experiencing higher than normal traffic.
on major backbones the difference should be almost unnoticable, but closer to the last mile (your end, or the other end) if the ISPs have limited peering points/agreements, your packets might travel to many far off points and back resulting in high pings or timeouts. |

Re: [ALL] Something new for our Forum - Line Monitoring SignUps
Can I get an invite? I've got line monitoring setup, my firewall is pingable, and I've updated my profile.
If we're in a group line monitoring, it doesn't cost us tool points, right?
To the poster about high ping times: No. A power outage will cause high ping time in that it will never respond, but if a network device is responding to ICMP requests (ie: it's configured correctly and has power), then that is not a factor in response time.
A few things that can affect ping times; cpu load of the network device, limited or saturated upload bandwidth, internet weather, and bad luck.
For example, if my router is doing port forwarding for a couple hundred ports, has a few devices in dmz, is QoSing, generating a web interface, and I'm downloading a ton of stuff on bit torrent, if you ping me, my ping times will be higher. The router is likely doing so much that it can't process the ICMP requests as quickly as if I was at work and not using my computer at all.
If I'm uploading several hundred megs of whatever to a friend, my upload bandwidth will be saturated. This not only will cause me to have EXTREMELY slow web browsing speed, but if you ping me, i'll receive the request, but my response will get queued and delayed in the upload buffer. This delay isn't much, but its more than a few miliseconds, which is all that it takes for a ping to 'take longer'
Hope this helps.
