My first home network and I treat my wifi sharing profiteers and slow down my connection.

Password and WPA - PSK but the router software gives me conflicting information.  Right, the system state now says 5 client connects wireless says 2, says dhcp 5 and traffic watch customer 6 ip addresses.  I have a wired connection, wireless 4 auth.  They are not all always connected, I know their macs if I see them, and there is a mac, I don't recognize, so I've blocked, but is there invisible links?   My speed was 1 Mb download and upload of 3 MB when I get home from work at nite.  It is Comcast internet and a router 300N.  Can someone tell me what is happening?

Speakeasy Speedtest just gave my 14 down and 3.5 to the top speed, an hour later.  Now I'm really confused.

It's probably unlikely that you are being put to good use.  Your system status and DHCP show 5 customers.  Both are probably connected as the system reports no doubt that DHCP has taken into account.  Leases DHCP lasts usually about a day, DHCP cannot be aware if a device is removed from the network and treat it as if it was always there.  I expect 6 IP addresses that the router itself would probably be the 6th and usually has an IP address of 192.168.1.1.  If you do not recognize a MAC address, you can access a site such as:

http://www.macvendorlookup.com/

and enter the MAC address.  It will return the manufacturer that has the MAC address that can help locate the device.

Speed tests reflect the conditions of the internet traffic between two points and may vary considerably over time.

  • Difference between "Home network" and "Business Network" WITHOUT a domain name in Windows 7?

    I'm paranoid and always try to choose security options more high.  In preparation for the implementation of a small Windows 7 network behind a NAT router wireless and wired, I'm working through "Microsoft Windows 7 in depth" by Cowart and Knittel (what, rights of copyright 2010).  I fell right on the following steps (mentioned verbatim in p. 446-447), that I don't understand.  (The steps are clear enough but the real difference between the first two choices is not.) :

  • computer laptop HP compaq 6730 b freezes and slows down

    I have a laptop hp compaq 6730 b.

    Since a few days, I realized when I plug to charge my cell phone, it freezes finally and slows down.

    The CPU usage suddenly increases.

    What should I do?

    help please...

    Thank you

    It works ok with only the power adapter is plugged in and the battery out of the laptop? The battery charge ok if the laptop is turned off? The laptop works for a long time reasonable with just the battery?  I've seen this kind of problem with a Toshiba machine that used a NEC/CATHERINE 0E128 Proadlizer high switching frequency DC/DC Converter output capacitor.  I doubt that your computer has this chip but the problem and the function are similar.  It is a device surface and can cause the laptop to have a problem with the battery and the power adapter plugged in at the same time.  Many times this you will also charge the battery when the computer is turned off, but not when it is turned on. Sometimes it will not allow your to run Notepad with only the attached power adapter and the battery removed. Just to think.

  • Can't view the YouTube video because there is an active filter. It happens on the job and home networks and only on Firefox (15.0.1).

    After update 15.0.1 Firefox and Adobe Flash Player to 11.4, I was unable to view the media from YouTube. I was given a message: "this video is not available with the filter of education allowed.» To view this video, site network administrator will have to add to a playlist. I work for a school district and use my laptop at work so I thought that I got this message because YouTube is blocked on this network. But when I got home, I got the same message on my home network with YouTube videos. I have reset Firefox and he took care of the issue until I'm at work, and the problem happened again with the same message everywhere... I tried to post the same videos on another browser (Safari) and it works beautifully. I'm afraid that if I reset Firefox even once, I'm having the same problem.

    It is possible that YouTube set a cookie to filter which can still be seen when you connect at home. To clear cookies for youtube.com, you can use one of these:

    (1) 'dialog show Cookies' tab in Preferences/Privacy:

    Firefox > Preferences > privacy > 'view the Cookies '.

    Type yout in the search box at the top to filter the list and remove each cookie individually.

    (2) "view Cookies dialog box" in the Page Info/Security tab:

    While displaying a page on the site-

    Tools > Page Info > Security > 'view the Cookies '.

    -remove each cookie individually.

    Then, try to reload the page and see if Youtube behaves differently.

  • Latest Vista updates have picked up my use of the internet and slowed down my system

    Last week, I had several automatic updates. In the meantime, updates have been loading on my computer all landed and froze. After the updates, I'll have a terrible time in AOL. The program has slowed down and often gives me an error message that the system is not responding. I contacted AOL who gave me many suggestions that I follow, but I still have problems (more my overall system is slow now). Says to contact Microsoft. It may be a problem with acceleration. I don't have these problems until the updates installed this week.

    Now my system restore no longer works. I can't go back to before the updates. What can I do?

    Hi andrewgpig,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft answers Community Forums.

    Possible cause would be that updates might conflict with other programs on the computer. Also could have damaged some system files on the computer.

    I suggest to try in safe mode and check the performance of the pc first.

    To start the computer in safe mode, do in the link below

    http://windowshelp.Microsoft.com/Windows/en-us/help/323ef48f-7b93-4079-a48a-5c58eec904a11033.mspx

    If it works fine in safe mode, then find the program that is in conflict. The link below shows you how to do a clean boot

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/331796

    If the steps above fail. Try to do a scan sfc

    Try to run a SFC scan, to do this, follow these steps:

    Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, right-click Guest, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.

    Type the following command and press ENTER:

    sfc/scannow

    The sfc/scannow command. analysis of all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions

    I hope this helps. .

  • scvhost.exe netsvcs high memory (1 GB or higher) and slows down the pc

    We have seen several cases in our business where scvhost.exe - the netsvcs used a large amount of memory on computers. I understand that many services under this one. We cleaned wbem folder to see if that fixes it, but also erased the event logs and have not seen a will. What is strange, is that even on a system with 4 GB of ram, even if netsvcs uses 1.5 GB of ram and the system uses 1 GB that leaves 1.5 GB available. I do not understand why windows will slow down to so much to become sometimes unusable if it still has 1.5 GB of ram available. The processor is very well. I've had people restart and he made disappear one day, sometimes 2 or even a week before it slips back to the top. Under the resource monitor if I highlight scvhost - netsvcs on the memory tab, it does not divide which is to use it. I can go to the disk tab and highlight it and I can see which processes are slot there for what is written on the disc, don't know if this is useful, but in the diagnosis.  Any thoughts?

  • Multiplex redo logs and slow down the e/s

    I sometimes use a San that gets saturated by a another client that I have no control over. My recovery on is newspapers the SAN and it causes all my customers to save waiting for synchronization of log file when it arrives. My overall IO is low, but customers commit frequently. In this scenario, I have no control over the San or other customer behaviours.

    What I'm considering is multiplexing by newspapers of recovery more fast local disk, but leaving a member of newspaper on the SAN because these discs are less likely to fail purely and simply.

    My question is how Oracle will behave during the SAN slows down - it will deal with the posting as 'fact' when the first newspaper finishes member in writing, or the last? I know that if writing an error then just Oracle will mark this member as dead, however in this case I get no errors, some delays.

    Edit: I have no control over the San or its configuration as well, I just have to work around the problem, while SAN team working on it.

    Write completion wil be when more destinations slow two members signals, that Scripture is complete.

    Other thoughts.

    For a San, I expect to be when writing reaches a battery backed cache. So think of it as no adaptation write cache can be useful.
    You can increase the cache to write to your San?

    Obviously writing half as much for the san that can help.

    Make sure you use the SAME guidelines [http://www.oracle.com/technology/deploy/availability/pdf/OOW2000_same_ppt.pdf]

    Check if the problem is caused when backups are.

    Check a second time SAN and SUN firmware is up to date and ensure that best practices for san are respected etc.

    -I think that there is a problem for sun solaris I try to drag in the back of my mind by which a series of small writings are not well on the most massive. But Ithink that is direct attached tables and there is a workaround.
