i've only ever used pings to test if a host is up or down.
But what other information am i looking for in ping tests. For e.g., the time in ms the TTL etc etc?
How can i test pinging my server from different locations around the world?
15ms ping vs 40ms ping vs 170ms ping
Which you think is still acceptable for a website?
speedtest capable of atleast 1gbit (my server is faster than this supposedly) in NL
(prefer not to use my hosts test file)
can be a test or a test file...
doesn't require flash, I can't seem to get it working on iceweasle
I was having issues with what I would like to think as power.
Now, I was wondering if there are any SQL database benchmarks, or something else I can run on the system for a given period of time, that will let me see if I'm still having those power issues.
I am planning to change my shared server web host. As part of my evaluation, I want to test the speed of web hosts I'm considering switching to. I've looked but could not find any reliable data for speed. So, I want to create my own data.
Based on some specific requirements, I have chosen the following finalists: ANhosting/Midphase, Hostgator, IXWebhosting, and Websitesource. If you have a website that uses one of these hosts,
I think a good way of doing a fair, accurate speed comparison is for 2 or 3 customers of each web host to place a 20MB file on their website. I will then download the file from each customer site during a high-traffic time of day. I will then report the results here.
This forum doesn't allow urls for the file to download, I think, but I hope it is allowed to put the URL for the download into an attachment, enclosed...
I anticipate that other webhosts that are reading this will want to participate. I welcome this, so here are some key features I need: php/linux, add at least 3 dedicated IPs to one account (could be extra fee), at least 20 addon domains on one acct., catchall/default email, shared ssl.
I am having some serious speed issues with my 1Gbit server at FDC. After opening a ticket, they've simply dismissed it as a server configuration problem. However I am convinced it isn't because certain ISP's (usually universities) get good speeds, usually 700kb/sec but the vast majority of my users get between 20-50 kb/sec and it's causing a lot of complaints.
Furthermore I have other servers with FDC which are 100mbit which perform better than my 1 Gbit one. There are no server bottlenecks (CPU/RAM/HDD), since I've closely monitored them (PRTG) and they aren't even heavily utilised. So the problem is with the network at some point.

My server DC technician change the cable to another switch in another rack. all in sudden, my server went 'offline'.
the weird thing is,
I can ping the server IP

I can ping google.com from my server
But when I lynx google.com, it keep saying

When I open my putty and SSH, it keep waiting.
When I try to ssh from another server, it keep waiting

I just moved from PowerVPS to EuroVPS, being located in Europe myself, and was of course hoping for much better ping times. Also EuroVPS advertise themselves with a 30ms ping to most of Europe.
Anyway after my VPS was installed I compared the pings:EuroVPS (85.17.48.162) average ping: 335ms
PowerVPS (69.65.106.19) average ping: 129ms
335ms is of course ridiculously high, and after writing them a support ticket they told me it's probably a latency problem with my ISP
Can you please post the ping you get for 85.17.48.162 (preferably people located in Europe)?
I have configured Nagios on my network 10+ Servers (Linux+Windows) now when i check through http://localhost/nagios everything is ok but only ping command is giving following message :-
Unknown
bin/ping -n -U -w 10 -c 5 x.x.x.x
CRITICAL - Could not interpret output from ping command
and mail me "server down " message
So what is the issue ?
I am able to run this command through command line
./check_ping -H {server} -w 100.0,20% -c 500,50% -p 5
PING OK - Packet loss = 0%
./check_ping -H x.x.x.x -w 300.0,80% -c 500.0,100% -p 5
PING OK - Packet loss = 0%
I'm running my own OpenVZ server with a few VPS's running on it and have a small network issue.
I can't ping any VE from the HN. All the other networking is working ok (strangely I can ping the HN from the VE) apart from this. It's a simple setup with one network card connected to the internet.
OpenVZ the latest stable version running on CentOS 5.2
I'm pretty sure it's not a firewall problem but is something to do with arp or routing and one of the settings in sysctl.conf
Has anyone else seen this?
Does it matter?

My sites are up when I go to http and there is no slowdown but my monitors (panopta and pingdom) say that there is an outage in ping (only in ping, http is up). I tried pinging the server and there are packet loss up to 100% but the site is still up. I also used other online pinging tools (all-nettools.com, dnsstuff.com, etc.) and host unreachable.
I tried contacting the provider but they say there are no network problem at this time. So I found this other site that's also hosted on the same provider and I can access their site but fails on ping.
My server ping keeps disconnecting
However my ssh & website is smooth running!
When i type "service iptables stop", the ping runs just smoothly.
I have CSF installed in the server, like any other server using default configurations. I believe it has something to do with selinux? (or not?)
i think 216.245.208.x and 216.245.215.x DOWN, but limestonenetworks tell me :"problems well outside of our network, and I would highly suggest contacting your ISP for support on this matter" ....

I've set up an apache server at home and I noticed that if I block ping requests, no one can see i externally.
If I enable ping requests people can visit my site/server.

I added both server IP into allowed list inside my APF firewall on each server as well.
I rebooted both server earlier before, but it is still not solving my problem.
Can I have some of you ping 24fans.net and let me know what your results are? Also where you're located would be good.
My ISP is being crappy and my dsl line is basically down ever few minutes. They're supposed to fix it tomorrow.

I have a problem with my server, that i can't not ping
Quote:
[root@server apf-0.9.6-2]# ping yahoo.com
ping: unknown host yahoo.com
But i can log in the ssh. i just installed apf, i check conf.apf to made sure there are port 80, but it still can't ping.
So I'm wondering what if anything I can do to get a better ping from my 1and1 server.
It's located in Wayne, PA and my ping floats around 70ms and I'm in South Lake Tahoe, CA. I only ask because there are servers with Peer1 hosted in New York, NY that give me a ping around 20ms.
Thanks for any help or advice.
Its a Windows Server 2008 Web Box.
A website,which i can't access,but i used the ping and tracert instruct. the result tell me the IP and route is right.later,a use a Proxy site to access that site,it can. who knows the reason?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI installed net query tool from this site

They say in order for ping and trace to work, you must chmod those executables on the server itself to 755. Is this safe or a security risk? The odd thing is, ping and trace works fine from dnsstuff.com or any other network tool site.
What is the location of those executables?
I have two servers both in a same vlan. Both may access Internet and be acceessed from Internet I setup db server and web server internal IP each as follows:
step 1: on web server:
vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:0
add following:
DEVICE=eth0:0
BOOTPROTO=static
BROADCAST=192.168.1.255
IPADDR=192.168.1.5
NETMASK=255.255.255.248
NETWORK=192.168.1.0/24
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
save and /etc/init.d/network restart
step 2: on db server:
vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:0
add following:
DEVICE=eth0:0
BOOTPROTO=static
BROADCAST=192.168.1.255
IPADDR=192.168.1.10
NETMASK=255.255.255.248
NETWORK=192.168.1.0/24
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
save and /etc/init.d/network restart
I used ifconfig to check both status, both of them are up. both of them may ping google, but when I try to ping their each other through internal IP, nothing returns.
I used command tracert to follow, found all packages were sent to Internet rather than an internal IP.
My host tells me to do it by making NAT, I have no idea on it. Anyone may help me out on how to do with NAT?
Should I block ping request to my servers from WAN?

I have a lot of sites with big graphics that need to load fast.
i am hosting a GunZ Server on a VPS,
i wana to open 2 servers, ( Quest / clan ) 2 names,
but, i can'T open the 2, only 1 if i opened the 2 one of them is getting for all palyers 999 ping ( Agent Error )...
well this is may caused by AE, how can i fix this?
When I talked with my friends who are into computer stuff, they'd say that it is important that the provider that I am about to host my site with, has good ping response so that my site will load faster.
View 14 Replies View RelatedBasically I registered with a new host. They sent me the details with obviously includes the IP address. I tested the IP address on just-ping.com and it came back with all of them having between 80% to 100% packet loss. Surely this is not normal is it? I havent moved my domain yet but it doesnt look good does it? Should I cancel?
