Re: internet freezes momentarily while surfing
Thanks Saber11...
I've been snooping around in those dang packets with NetXray
trying to figure out why my IP packets are (allegedly) leaving my router onto the Internet with the DF bit cleared.
It's confusing on Windows 98 because I clearly have left PMTU-D at default (ON). Yet DSLR's Tweak Applet insists that I have it OFF. We guess that this is happening because the applet is receiving my packets with no DF flag. I imagine the applet assumes that PMTUDiscovery is OFF. Haven't confirmed yet what's going on with the router and PPPOE connection.

Just wondering if any of you who have had the "Freezing" problem has run a sniffer on your TCP/IP
You can get a good free sniffer from network associates (you got DSL so the download should be swift)
Take a look at your IP packets. What I think is that your workstation my be causing a broadcast storm, if it's happening durring browsing chances are your DNS lookups aren't going through.
Look for alot of broadcasts on the line.
Also your DNS requests could be timing out. if this is the case your system will wait for the timeout on the primary DNS server, and go to the secendary. It could be that the primary DNS is being inundated with lookups and can't handle the load. Or there could be alot of collisions. A sniffer will show you this.
Just a suggestion |
