Hey, had my new Silver Samsung box a couple of days now, and the tv side of things might have improved 100%, but the internet side has gotten worse.
Two times in one hour its stopped responding to anything and required to be unplugged. Both times (and the times before) I have been downloading a torrent.
People suggested on the the old Pace boxes to limit there upload as this caused problems with disconnections, so even though I have the new box, I capped the upload speed to 10KB/sec and the download speed to 50KB/sec. Despite these caps, It is still knocking me off, even more frequently than before on the old Black Pace box.
The only difference is that the connection doesnt seem to totally drop, with this box I can still seem to SEND information but not recieve it. An example, after it dies I try to connect to mirc, and it actually sends my data to the server, then halts. With Outlook, it Connects Authorises and says retreiving new messages, then it halts. In fact after I lost my connection the torrent file continued to upload! yet I couldnt download it, or get on mIRC properly, check email browse, etc
After the disconnect I ran Ethereal and logged the packets, most of them seem to be ARP packets with data such as :
Who Has 80.6.184.254
And many others with different 80. and 81. Ip's
Any suggestions?
