| Unable to Become Pingable
Just wondering if anyone could help me out here....
I have a 6000 kb/s LAN connection, but I have been experiencing a sudden drop in download & upload speeds. The max I'm getting when speed testing my connection is 3000 kb/s dl, and about 350 kb/s ul. I've tried to do the line quality test, but I am unable to become pingable, even after following the instructions on the site about how to allow it in Windows XP Firewall.
I've tried rebooting & resetting the network connection a couple times to no avail.
Any Suggestions?

Thanks for the responses.
Because I can't be pinged, I couldn't run a line quality test.
I've also been noticing strange spikes in dl speeds.
My service provider is Acanac, a small company who rates are considerably less than the larger companies who offer DSL in my city (Toronto). I've had speed problems with them in the past, but I was able to resolve them when I called in to the tech support hotline.
I've just re-installed windows, and can safely say that it is not a browser/os issue.
I'm going to place another call to the tech support hotline, see if they can solve my issues. |

I'm using a Lynx 210 modem by Starbridge Networks - I think its a clone of another modem called the Aztech DSL600EU. |

said by CBN Tech  :Do u by chance have a router??? That's important to know, as well try plugging direct (if you have a router) and running the test - reset the modem in case your modem has an assigned mac memory of only 1. (which in the firmware some ISPs do..) |

Re: Unable to Become Pingable
Ok, so I figured it out - my modem was not set up to accept incoming pings, so I just changed the setting to accept incoming pings.
I don't really know exactly what was causing the slow connection speed, but I called tech support everyday for a week, and I got different answers every day I called. In the end, the tech helped me bridge my connection, and ever since them I've had no problems. I'm currently getting great speeds.
btw, thanks for the reply, BettyPuddle! |
