Routers
 

Yo check it out. I got a router upstairs splitting my monster pipe to comp upstairs and i ran some cable to the basement. Now for some reason my basement connections hit the shitter once in awhile for no reason... You think the cable modem upstairs need replacing?

no I think you should hire a manwhore

check out my sig!

check the line first.

i have a router connected to a switch with 4 machines connected had the same problem with one machine the cable connecting to to it was stuffed

How many meters of wire are you using?

Wildjizzz stop jacking my post i need some usefull info

you don't need a repeater unless you're running a seriously long run.. like at least a thousand feet. i've got a 100 foot run here, works just fine.

They come in this size??
DING dong or KING kong? Whatever, BOB told me otherwize when I spoke to him last Sunday. :rainfro

ok

true iroc , i just like diff nodes on networks =]

Could be a cabling issue. Cat 5 specs are pretty straight foward butcheck to be sure your punches are clean and you have no protruding wires. The little wire end that might not have been cut off can cause enough of a problem to make for intermittent bit errors.

If you need more say so and I will email you my ICQ

donkey kong

what he said...

I got one downstairs and your average cat5 cable (75') does the trick fine...although sometimes that computer is a bit slower than the rest...but overall not a big issue...

repeater would be overkill imo....

Are you using a hub, or just going straight from the router downstairs?

Line into house > cable modem> then into router> one line to comp upstairs one to basement> basement hits another router> one line into comp other line inot cisco ATA for phone

The line from the upstairs router to the router in the basement...

try hooking it up to your comp straight from the router upstairs. Eliminate one router.

If you still have problems going from the router upstairs, straight to your comp in the basement, then go straight from the cable modem to the comp in the basement. If you still have problems, it may be the ethernet cable. :2 cents:

I think i need to get a line tester and so on to diagnos the prob or might have to reconfigure the router upstairs...ohhh joy

? A line tester?

Then just run that 100ft ethernet cable from the cable modem right to your computer in the basement. If it does not work, it is either your cable, your modem, or the ethernet cable.

the ethernet needs to be routed, i need aline to th comp and one to the cisco ata for the phone

True. But if you backtrack, you can find out where the problem is.
Start with a direct connection from the cable modem to the comp in the basement. If it works, then add your router upstairs. If it still works, then add the one in the basement...if it stops, you know the culprit. You are making this more complicated than it really is. :)
