ISP Time Warner Cable "Roadrunner"

Motorola Cable Modem

ZyXEL X550 Router
Server Static IP direct connected to the router.
Printer Static IP direct connected to the router.
One Netgear Switch Static IP direct connected to the router.
One Computer auto direct connected to the router. (Archlinux)

two laptops wireless auto WPA2 to the router. Wireless is hidden. (Archlinux & VISTA)

All another computers are connected over the switch with auto DHCP. (Mac OS 10.4, Archlinux, openSUSE, and several testcomputers with differant Linux, Unix OSystems.

When in doubt test with a LiveCD Idea

What you describe sounds more like a DNS problem your ISP is having
or a problem with the Cable Modem or Router.

Yep, nothing there found that is out of the ordinary jada, even when running the test as root. There's files that are so locked down, that they can't be checked. I get this all the time with f-prot. You might try power cycling the router and modem and see if that helps.

Jada, try using OpenDNS. No, seriously. www.opendns.org.
I had the same issues with my Linksys. I visited OpenDNS, 15 minutes later, I'm rocking. Simple, simple, simple.

That's a DNS problem.
Did you try a ping test with the same websites- url and ip?
You can do this:
Code:
 lynch@earth2:~> ping -c3 www.google.com
PING www.l.google.com (64.233.169.103) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from yo-in-f103.google.com (64.233.169.103): icmp_seq=1 ttl=242 time=18.9 ms
64 bytes from yo-in-f103.google.com (64.233.169.103): icmp_seq=2 ttl=242 time=16.0 ms
64 bytes from yo-in-f103.google.com (64.233.169.103): icmp_seq=3 ttl=242 time=17.0 ms

--- www.l.google.com ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 2024ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 16.023/17.310/18.908/1.202 ms

Then try it by IP address:
Code:
lynch@earth2:~> ping -c3 64.233.169.103
PING 64.233.169.103 (64.233.169.103) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 64.233.169.103: icmp_seq=1 ttl=242 time=15.4 ms
64 bytes from 64.233.169.103: icmp_seq=2 ttl=242 time=19.3 ms
64 bytes from 64.233.169.103: icmp_seq=3 ttl=242 time=16.9 ms

--- 64.233.169.103 ping statistics ---

This was a answer. It speeds up a lot. Thank's a lot Smile

It is a cool work around, but still I have to figure out what the problem is. It was working over two years with out openDNS.

IPV6 is coming. not right away, but some ISP's are trying to get ready for it and there is bound to be a few hick-ups.

I am thinking about implementing openDNS to avoid them myself.

I went to opendns.com, but couldn't figure how to do it from there. I'm on a cable modem - it doesn't even say the brand name on it so I'm not sure what to pick there. Confused

If you don't use a router, then modify your computer.

Enable OpenDNS: Unix/Linux SUSE

1. SUSE Linux 10.1

1. In /etc/sysconfig/network/config, change the MODIFY_RESOLV_CONF_STATIC_DNS line to MODIFY_RESOLV_CONF_STATIC_DNS="208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220"

2. Run "sudo /sbin/rcnetwork restart-all-dhcp-clients".
2. SUSE Linux 10.0 or 9.x

1. In /etc/sysconfig/network/dhcp, change the DHCLIENT_BIN line to DHCLIENT_BIN="dhclient".

2. Change /etc/dhclient.conf as we currently suggest.

3. Run "sudo /sbin/rcnetwork restart-all-dhcp-clients".

Enable OpenDNS: Unix/Linux Ubuntu

1. Open a terminal window and type the following.

Code:
$ sudo network-admin


2. Change to the DNS tab and enter the following two addresses in the top of the first field labeled DNS Servers.
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

To avoid having your settings get revoked after reboots, or after periods of inactivity, do this:
Code:
$ sudo cp /etc/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf.auto
$ sudo gedit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
# append the following line to the document
prepend domain-name-servers 208.67.222.222,208.67.220.220;
# save and exit
$ sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0


You may be required to change eth0 to your own network device's name if it uses a non-standard name.

"Sometime around midnight on February 26th (at least for the SoCal users), TimeWarner's RoadRunner service started intercepting failed DNS requests, redirecting them to RoadRunner's own search and advertising platform. To see if this has been enabled in your area, try visiting {some random string}.com in your Web browser. This feature subverts user preferences set within browsers, which allow the user to select which search engine receives their typos and invalid domains. RoadRunner users can disable this function — or they can just use OpenDNS. Here is an example RoadRunner results page.

I am going to find it out Wink
