Check Internet Connection
Aug 9, 2007I want to make a PHP script to check the status of Internet Connection outside the LAN.
I was thinking of Google Ping, cause google's ping are fast and their robust network is never offline.

I am attempting to setup two computers for web hosting but I only have one internet connection and I am having some problems getting this to work.
This is my first post on this site, so please be patient with me as I am fairly new to web hosting and how t set it all up.
I have two computer both are running windows xp pro with one having IIS 5.1 and the other one with Apache. I can't seem to get them to work together. If I have both apache and IIS running at the same time one of them seems to over ride the other.
Is there some way that I can get them to work together or is this not going to work for me this way?
For about the last two weeks I've had issues connecting with the website that I help run www.learnoutloud.com from my home connection which is Time Warner Cable Internet connection in Los Angeles. I'm on a Dell laptop Inspiron 6000 running Windows XP. I'm always able to connect to the site but what's happening is the page will get hung up on loading a single image usually and then it will take about a minute just to load that last image. And sometimes the page won't load at all, but all it takes usually is hitting the refresh button and the page loads instantly. I was hoping this issue would just go away, but it's been persistent after numerous restarts of our cable modem and switching from wireless to plugged in and so forth. And it's really only happening for our site and no others, which is just puzzling.
At our office on our DSL connection our site loads fine and we haven't had any customer complaints about the site loading slow like this. Our traffic numbers have stayed steady so I don't think it's a global problem connecting with our site. At home I conduct a trace route and it looks good:

I am currently using a VPSland windows 2003 vps, and noticed that on IRC, (via mIRC), i can't really connect to irc ports such as 6667, etc, but i can connect through other uncommon ports like 8080, or BNC ports. Does anybody know how to enable those irc ports on the windows vps?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have just started studying to get my MCSE certification; however, I have hit a road block early on. I am trying to start an internet connection to so i can use "configure Your Server Wizard". The internet connection is live ( I tested it on my vista tower).
Here is a some information of my setup. I am running 2 towers with server 2003 ( both are stuck with no internet) one tower with vista. I have a cable modem to a router. The router is supplying 3 ethernet cords to my 3 towers. I am using comcast for internet.
All I need right now is a basic connection to the internet so i can go further with training book one.
Here is my ipconfig/all dump from the vista tower that can connect to the internet:

i think the newwork is online and the afp black the coming connection.
i try to run "apf -f" to stop the apf,

now,i need to check why the apf black others and try to fix it and restart the aps,
can anyone teach me how can i do now?
my server os is centos
Can you conduct me to check the server speed by commands ( linux fedora )?
How to check connection speed of the server. i.e. 100 Mbps , 10 Mbps, etc.
I saw an message like this : " NIC Link is Up 10 Mbps Full Duplex", according to my knowledge, this is my server connection speed/ bandwidth is 10 Mbps, isn't it?
i want to know how much connection/session numbers to my server,
are there any method to get it?
we have lots of web sites and traffic
our company needs real high bandwidth
we worked with layeredtech but it was not enough, too
do you have any advice? a real datacenter with real 1 or 2 gig real internet connection?
I have ftp server (pure-ftp). with firewall.
i allowed 20 and 21 port in "CSF" firewall
now when i or our client connect to the server connection done.
and the they fire dir or ls command they will receive error
"425 Could not open data connection to port 2535: Connection timed out"
what is the problem.i have already allowed passive port 2500:3500 then why i received this types of error
I would like to know how to check load via ssh and check files causing load?
I want the ssh codes for 2 different set of control panels, one with cpanel+whm and other with kloxo+hypervm
and I would also know how to check the files causing the load, such as some files could have been interrupted while processing, so they could be causing load some times, so I want to stop such processes if any are running on the vps on my friends accounts
I recently placed an order (based on an add I found while browsing this forum) for a quad xeon. Everything went smoothly and their live support was very helpful. About 2 hours after receiving my confirmation I received an email containing a credit card form. The form is asking me to fill out everything I filled out during the billing process (including my credit card number, security code, and bank number). I know this form is basically a contract so they can bill me if I go over my bandwidth limit, but it seems pretty odd. Is this a normal thing or should I be weary about filling this out?
View 5 Replies View RelatedMy site/e-mail/etc that is hosted by Solid Internet has been down for almost 2 weeks. This is causing me some major problems.
Their support forum doesn't work, their phones go straight to voicemail, their voicemail inbox is full, they don't respond to e-mails or support tickets. I'm not sure what else I can do to find out what the problem is?
I've only just renewed for a further year too so I'm not overly keen on flushing all that money down the toilet.
I don't think I have any site back ups, certainly no recent ones so I don't want to lose everything which I assume I'll need to do to move to a new host?
first off i will start by saying, as you can see.. this is my first post. Normally i just browse around, but i had to sign up and post a brief thread, about the awesome service i have received over at TurnKey.
A few weeks before christmas break, i signed up with Turnkey VPS, which was quickly setup. I've never really worked with a vps before, or much with servers at all really.
But their prompt and detailed explanation of how things work inside the control panel really helped me out. Then, a week after christmas break, with the economy going south, i had got laid off from work. I sent them an email saying that i wished to cancel cause of my current job status, and was suprised to see that Adam, their president had emailed me back himself and offered me a 90 day free run till i could get back on my feet. and if at the end of the 90days i hadent got on my feet, i could cancel completly. Since then, my job had announced that it would only be set backs and not termination - so i still have my job, and i dont have to cancel anymore!
Wholesale Internet HAS THE WORST BILLING SYSTEM / CUSTOMER SUPPORT SYSTEM EVER
It has been 3 months and I have yet received my refund. If your server is up then its fine but I have contacted Aaron (great guy) 30+ times but he's always busy
Here's the issue. In ubersmith we have paypal + a spare credit card running. I setup a paypal subscription so I was to be billed automatically.
Ubersmith however was not tracking the subscription payments and instead billed our credit card.
This left me with double the charges for 3 months on my credit card and paypal ...
I have asked for a refund since September and have heard NOTHING.
I have vouched for Wholesale internet plenty but if this does not get taken care of Aaron I will be chargebacking every single charge for the last year ... maybe that'll get your attention
The billing department = Rebecca - a woman who neither answers the phone nor emails
We aquired a dedicated with wholesaleinternet a few months back. Other than slightly annoying but very short periods of downtime several times a week there were no major problems. Then the server became unreachable.
After many hours I finally get a tech response to my priority TT stating a fsck had to be performed. My initial worry was that the HD was failing as huge sectors should not be corrupt - certainly no software was running to cause this.
Over the next 2 weeks the server went down every 24-48 hours with exactly the same problem and the same resolution. Each time it took over 4 hours for a priority TT to be responded to and for the problem to be fixed. 8 hour waits were far from uncommon.
After pointing out the HD worries several times (what else could it be at this stage?) 2 weeks later the girl 'looking after the problem' finally agrees with us and agrees to replace the HD. I drag off any data I need (ie since the last backup) in a brief period of uptime and give her the go ahead. The server goes down again and over 48 hours later they tell me a new HD has been installed.
BEFORE the server went down for the final time we made it very clear that we simply cannot wait any longer and had no choice but to cancel our account. This was ignored and the HD changed anyway. We also made it clear that the huge problems caused should mean that there was no way we should require a month's notice to leave them. The downtime, huge delays in responding to priority tickets and inability of tech staff to recognise a simple HD failure means we need to go elsewhere. The downtime has cost us a LOT of money and several very good google results still have not recovered so the cost to us continues in a big way.
Despite the 2 weeks of more or less continual downtime causing us to have no choice but to switch hosts they now have the audacity to send debt collectors after us for not giving 1 months notice. On cancelling the account my reasons were made very, very clear and that given the situation I would not expect to need a months notice and certainly not to be charged.
So my advice...look elsewhere. There are some very professional companies about with competent tech staff and who give a damn about even their lower end customers.
I have used BQ Internet (bqbackup) for a dedicated server backup for months... On one occasion a while back, I started getting the now infamous "out of space" error message.
They fixed it, that time, fairly quickly telling me it was because they were "changing servers..."
Now, for the last two weeks, their server is telling me it's outta space, and I am getting absolutely no response from them whatsover...
I have sent emails using my regular email accounts plus sent emails using a gmail account.
Are they in some sort of trouble or something?
I guess I am going to have to look for another rsync backup provider...
"Offsite" backups are extremely important to me and my customers, and not having it available for two weeks is completely unacceptable.
I've been with wholesale internet services for a few months now and I must say working with Aaron (when available) has been a pleasure. However, working with anybody else on the team...Billing Departement I'm looking at you has been a COMPLETE Nightmare.
I orderded an extra IP Subnet range only to take it days (more than three) and a few tickets later to order. Their Billing/Sales department takes days to answer.
I then cancelled my services and was confirmed cancellation only to find out today that I've been billed and my credit card has been charged.
Not impressed with this incompetent operation. Aaron you do a great job but your team is nothing like you! I have yet to receive an e-mail back from sales about refunding me the money for the current billing statements.
I'm creating yet another ticket now in hopes that somebody there responds.
The server was fine as was the network, never had any issues, but the lack of support for billing was not.
their servers are down more than they are up, they claim to have 90 odd plus servers and it always seems to be that 4 servers in a row are down at a time, i would stay away from these ppl, we started as a reseller of theirs and it was terrible, lost a few customers cause of the bad service, and frorget about support,

I'm thinking about creating a resellers account with them but there seem to be a lot of mixed reviews, some people say they're the best hosts they've ever used, other strongly disagree.
I decided to let everyone know about WholesaleInternet (wholesaleinternet.net) company and how people from this company treat clients.
2 days ago my server was taken offline. After contacting support team, I was told someone was hosting phishing page. However, they didn't send me any email. I asked them to send abuse report for me.
As soon as I got it, I told that I will remove bad site from server as soon as they will activate server. Since then they just ignore all my tickets. Server is down for 2 days, I have opened support ticket and all my requests are ignored. Phone support is total 'scam', because I always here same message 'We can not answer your call' for 2 days.
I understand this company is being managed by single person only, but I didn't believe it's so awful.
My server is still down, and I have no idea what to do next. They even don't allow me to remove bad site or move all sites from server to another provider.
And yes, I also PMed Aaron via this forum, but he just replied 'Abuse has the impression that you are intentionally using the server for illegal activities. I looked at the ticket and I can see why they think that especially when you tell them you will move the phishing site to another server.' Then he started ignoring all my messages too.
What abuse team!? Company of single person has abuse team? Sure... I can't believe that moving site to other server (after removing phishing content from it) is treated as illegal activity by Wholesale Internet.
Well, I lost hundreds of dollars already, and it looks I need to start everything from 0 (because company just ignores me), so the only thing I can do - tell everyone RUN AWAY from this awful provider as soon as you can. Because if someone will hack one of your customer accounts and upload phishing page, they will destroy your hosting without any questions asked.
I will post more detailed review about this company later, including screenshots from my support desk, etc. So if you think getting a server with them, think again!
I am getting a VPS soon and am wanting to get somewhere to backup the VPS and found BQ Backup/BQ Internet does anyone use them and are they reliable?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am about to build the company network and I have some questions to know what I am speaking about with the company we will hire to do the job, so I would like to ask some questions, being sure here someone skilled will be able to help me.
The current company network is made of two optical fiber with each one it’s own router and ISP behind. I am thinking about to take a third ISP and ask for our own /24 PI, rather than current two /25 PA we have with each provider.
I would like to setup a highly available Internet link. Most probably I will ask a third provider to offer us the /24 PI and use it as main provider and use the two others to feed and to help us to reach high availability as BGP4 is able to balance over different networks.
It is not impossible to tweak performances later with OSPF protocol. The total maximum (theoretical) speed would be 150 Mbit/s for the 3 links together (but pushing as it will probably never happend), current peaks are more about 30-35 Mbit/s.
So I have some questions :
- Do we need to get an AS to achieve this?
- Is Foundry Networks NetIron NETIRON MLX-4 or NETIRON MLX-8 good for this job?
- Will we be able to push (in case) up to 300-400 Mbit/s with this wheel (over 3 providers)?
- What is the approximate price of such wheel?
- What else do I have to think about?
At this time, I am only interested about the Internet network. The prority is the availability and not the speed, but it would be good to do not have to change machines if the average traffic to Internet is going to double in 1 year.
i have a win 2003 server and iis6
i have about 300 sites i will change my internet line
to change all web sites ip's to new ip in iis how can i do that?
On the same pc (WinXP) I have 2 internet connections from 2 different providers - 2 lan cards.
Someone knows how to mix connections and get total amount of speed? I know it is possible but I don't know how.
We are a group who are working on an internet TV project. We are hoping to achieve over 4000 viewers at the end of next year. We are trying to see what would be a best solution:
Should we buy the bandwidth and server up front and work our way up to the objective or should we start small and buy a bandwidth dedicated server for the start.
I would appreciate your guidance about how to build such a server and how to buy the bandwidth and also the cost for such a thing.

I am building a new network here, and I have built all the infrastructure servers and built the firewall server (as well as connected it to the internet), just for testing, I have allowed all traffic to anywhere.
Now, the firewall is set up so that it has the DNS for the router (192.168.0.1) on the internet NIC, and on the internal NIC it has DNS set up as 10.0.0.2 and 10.0.0.3 (FYI, DMZ is blank, but the mahcines on DMZ have the same .2 & .3 set)
I can understand why internet works from the firewall machine as it is getting DNS addresses from the router, however I loged on to INTERNAL1 (the primary infrastructure server), which for DNS, only has itself (and the .3 machine as backup), and I can get full internet... It fully 100% works.
I can not understand this! the dns server that it has does not have ANY fowarders configured, however the websites I visited appeared in the cache just fine.
So, My question is, how on earth was I able to connect to the internet... it just makes no sense to me
With Remote Desktop Connection download/upload speeds seem to be capped to barely anything like 50 KB/s. But going to speedtest.net (still in remote desktop) the server reads like 3600 KB/s. It seems like my host is smartly throttling my connection. Is there any way to get around this?
