Too Slow!!!
 

Anyone experiencing really slow connection this evening?

I have changed my proxy several times now, most sites load slowy and some just do not load at all.... :grind:

Well my firewall is still getting hammered on port 135 so it might be slow but I have'nt noticed too much. Some sites have lagged a little on the load times, some have failled but then whats new, been like that for about a week now.
(Not totally on topic but.. )Has anyone else been taking over 5000+ hits per day on port 135 or am I just lucky ;)

135 is a netbios port, the one that Windows uses to talk to other Windows boxes.

Windows being the friendly beast that it is, it chatters away sending zillions of packets out on 135 in the hope of meeting new Windows machines.

Check your firewall logs, you will probably find that your own machine is the source of the packets.

No, no, no, no. Port 137 is the Netbios port.
Port 135 is the port being attacked by the Blaster virus.

Damn, sorry yeah. Got my ports mixed. 125 is RPC and it is the DCOM vulnerability blaster is attempting to expoit.

Sorry for the stupid information, posting before my brain woke up.

No need to apologise muff. We can all make errors at times. :)

:welcome: to the site muff. ;)

Coffee Break time? :D

Welcome to the site :D :beer: :beer: :drunk:

Only one key out :) Better than I do before coffee :p

As I always say....


It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion

not having any speed issues myself :D

Sat here online while watching the video for George Clinton - Paint the whitehouse black streaming full screen on my other monitor :D

gotta love http://launch.yahoo.com (found it mentioned on ntlhell and thought I would check it out) quality isn't bad :D

the fun part is it can stream the video to a DIALUP connection! (though on 1 mbit its a lot higher quality, even though I limit the stream to 300k max so I still have bandwidth to play with lol)

Here in sunny Manchester :rolleyes: my 150k BB is hot ! :D

I regularly download @ 30kbps !! (never below 24kbps) although browsing was slow with DNS being hammered by the Blaster.

Except this morning I had no BB at all :confused: until I rebooted the STB etc., now even the DNS seems far quicker !! :D :D

One happy bunny !! :D :D

That used to be me. Believe me, life is better without the evil bean!:D
