Re: [netopia] netopia 3347 with other router
I would be sorely tempted to connect the two routers in the same room with a short, professionally made cable to try to eliminate cabling at this point. Do you get 80% packet loss with a new cable?

| i agree. it is conencting at 100mb, and if the cable is not pinned out properly you get all sorts of errors. i have some 10mb conenctions running on freaking ribbon cable and working great, but split a pair on a 100mb connection it goes to crap.

well i think i would eliminate the cable as a problem since when i have a computer connected directly to the netopia with the same cable i get 0% loss. |

| but is teh PC conencting at 100mb FULL duplex? if not the cable could still be the problem.
one last thign it can be tha thas happened to me before is that BOTH devices support auto polarity sense. this messes with each other and they both keep flipping TX and RX pairs. if one has the optioin to turn this off, do it.

@qwest.net | my apologies, y'all were right. it's the cable.
i went ahead and tested with a short store-bought cable and i got perfect throughput.
damn. all that for some badly terminated cable!
many thanks for all your help!! |
