I would like to hear some input from users that have had experience with Qwest and Sprint's network. How do they compare to the other tier one providers? I know some networks depend on location, so I would like to hear from people that have used them in Texas if possible.
View 0 RepliesCan anyone comment on how their experience has been with the Qwest network in the Texas region? It seems by looking at their network map that they have many directly links to other cities coming out of Houston which is a surprise to me as everything seems to come from Dallas on other networks.
Can anyone comment on pricing? What can you get a FE or GE commit from Qwest for?
I just switched to Qwest DSL for internet access and I have one problem. I cannot access any sites hosted by ServerWizards on all 5 pcs in my house. Even people who comes to my house with their laptop cannot access my sites hosted with SW. Qwest technical support can't help.
This problem occured three times so far this month
1st time I assigned a dedicated IP on all pcs to make it work
2nd time I contacted Qwest support and rebooted the modem to make it work
3rd time I contacted support again and tried everything but does not work
I have no Firewall other than Windows forewall. No virus to think of. Reboot
troubleshoot this or explain what the problem might be.
Does anyone know anything about the Qwest colocation center in Chicago? It is the 7th floor in the same building Equinix is in. I am looking for positive or negative feedback as I'm looking at potentially placing a couple of cabinets in there.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI find it very interesting that the major ISPs in and around Portland Oregon apparently do not peer with anyone in the region. For low latency you're better off choosing a provider in Seattle or San Jose as traffic always seems to be routed there and back anyways.
Why is this? Is it simply not worth their effort to setup the peering connections because most traffic will be hosted outside the region anyways?
I am looking at getting some Qwest bandwidth at 200 Paul, San Francisco. Not being too familar with Qwest's network and as part of evaluating that decision I did some testing to see how the routes/latency looked from various points on the Internet and from our other data centers. For pretty much all the testing I did from the major tier 1/2 networks, Qwest has great peering in places you would expect resulting is decent routes and low latency.
The strange thing is that the one exception is routes from Level 3. As an example, traffic from various Northern California points on Level 3's network to a test IP on Qwest's network in Sunnyvale all go via Denver to connect to Qwest and then back to the Bay Area. For LA originating traffic, it goves via Dallas. Same thing for Seattle that is going via Denver.
Hard to imagine these two tier 1 providers don't peer at any location on the west coast at all? Is this typical between these two or is there some temporary outage right now? Or is there some peering spat going on between them?
Seems pretty silly for traffic to go 3,000 miles between points that are only 10 miles apart!

Anyone have experiences with using Qwest bandwidth in Northern California they care to share?
For years we have been able to send and receive through our web sites using Qwest and then a few weeks ago it stopped working for sending completely. I checked the usual things like port 25; I changed the outbound mail address to smtp.live.com per their instructions. Nothing. Now that Qwest is MSN it just doesn't work and their offshore "support" is worthless. This happens using Windows XP Pro and Vista.

Here is our goals:
-use 10.x.x.x/255.0.0.0 as a local backend network at our DC
-be able to assign a 10.x.x.x address at the office to all workstations and be able to access any of the local machines at the DC
-we have a asterisk server that we use and want to run that on the same network, asterisk box at the DC, phones at the office
We are wanting to impliment this for allot of security procedures and for ease.
But I also want to be able to have this like at my house so I can still be on the VPN. I want to have my house, office and DC always connected and then setup remote ability too to dial in via VPN.
What would be the best way to accomplish.
I have already tried having a few Linksys RV082 and WRV54G but the remote and local networks must be different networks, so this will not work here.

I have some VPS with Knownhost and i use it for hosting purposes.
First, I'm not from USA.
Here in my country we have several ISP but one of them ( i guess the biggest one ) is having problems with their link that connects to another countries ( including USA ).
Many of my customers that uses this ISP complains about their site being down and also slow download speeds ( 10kb/s when they usually download at 200kb/s ). When they run a traceroute i see that the problem is related to the ISP.
I have already contacted the ISP but they doesn't seen to "care" about their clients and i guess they won't solve this in a near future.
My question is if there is a way to solve this problem on my own?
I was thinking about getting a link with another ISP ( the one that really works ) with static IP and route this to Knownhost VPS. I know that this isn't a cheap solution but is it possible?
To make it simple, I am having some bays with dedicated servers. We offer 2 possibilities for bandwidth traffic: per Giga, or per MBit/s but I am having some problems. We currently use the router of our ISP better than buying a cheap low quality router.
- How can I know how much bandwidth does use on customer and how to limit if I have no access to the router ?
- How can I limit my customer from using free IP on the same block than he is ? We do configure server with IP and the same subnet, gateway and broadcast, so one customer could use free IP just so, and I would not even be able to know who is doing.
How do you limit and count this for your servers?
This is 4th day i am having network issue on HiVeloCity.
Does anyone else here experiencing the same problem, or its only rack where my server is located?
I am unable to use my server for almost 4 days as i already said, and they still have no solution for me.
Every time i open up a live chat with support, they tell me that they are checking, working on it, having someone see it, etc. but problem is still there.
What should i do?
I am going to post pings from SoftLayer and my home to their main ip (their websites' IP where i see pocket loss as well)
... because of this my websites are opening so slow, and many ppl are complaining about this.
Since there is many experts on this forum i would like advise from you guys.
I would like to stay with HVC if they can fix this, if not looks like i will have to look for another provider.

Let say I have a computer network and the router is 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.10 is using workgroup called HOME and 192.168.1.11 to 192.168.1.50 is using workgroup called OFFICE.
All comp is WIN XP based client.
Now the qustion is, I'm sure that noone from home workgroup can access the office workgroup. But how about virus?
In case a computer which is reside into home workgroup is infected with network type virus, can that virus reach the comp which is reside into office workgroup?

I want to add the server in the office as a network place/drive to the server in the colocation, but I can't get it to work. I tried putting the local ip of the server in the office, didnt work.
Then I tried OFFICESERVERNAMESHARENAME and that didnt work either.

Any1 else having Network problems with HVC?
My server is not reachable.
I've been lurking and posting on these forums long enough that I figure it's time for me to contribute something that might help other users: a quick review of 2AM Networks.
I have 2 dedicated servers with them and I couldn't be happier. Network uptime is 100% as far as I can see, the servers are delivered within their given timeframes (despite me ordering during a sales rush both times - I'm clever like that ) and with exactly the specifications requested.
Support is fantastic. I haven't needed it a great deal but all responses have been within 20-30 minutes and the answers are spot on.
You can see how good the prices are for yourselves in the dedicated offers forum or on their dedicated servers page but I'm pleasantly surprised to find that even the add-ons (IPs, etc) are the same price as more expensive competitors.
So if anyone is researching dedicated servers I'd recommend taking a look at 2AM Networks
(I'll report my server IPs to give this review some credibility)

How many of you out there really use or need private network?
if a private network really justifies the extra cost of switches and motherboards with dual-nics.
both of the VPSs we have with them have been offline for more than 15 minutes now. As usual, their support has been incredibly fast and I have heard back from a NOC staffer that they are experiencing network issues, but want to see if I can find out how widespread this is.
If you have services with ServInt, are your machines currently unreachable?
I have 2 servers and want to know which one is the best one network wise.
Going by the tracert test it looks like the second one is better... is that right?
Tracing route to host.mytestserver.org [208.75.148.78]
over a maximum of 30 hops: ....
We're a small company that has outgrown dedicated hosting. We've got 8 servers currently with a well known hosting company, but the servers are starting to get old and we're growing. The cost of moving to colo just seem to make sense to us. We have a bunch of developers, but no network engineers. That being said, we're trying to figure out what we best need to move forward with going colo.
Sometime this month, we'll be purchasing 15-18 servers from Dell. We've already spoken to Colo4Dallas and plan to use their services. So we've got the servers and colo, but have no clue what we need with regard to switches, firewalls and remote-reboot.
1: What type of managed Cisco gigabit switch do we need? We don't know the specific model(s) that would be good for us. We want a hot backup and 24 ports. We manage multiple SSL sites (not sure if this is relevent) and 250+ ip addresses.
1a: Where do we manage ip addresses? We know we'll be getting a block of 250 ip addresses, but how do we assign ip address "a" to server "1"? Can we take that ip address and move it to another server if needed?
2: What type of firewall would be best for us, based on above requirements?
3: DRAC cards are pretty expensive, so we want a IP KVM switch. Any recommendations?
4: Remote reboote -- I've seen power strips out there that do this -- is that what we need, or is there another method we should consider?
5: Is there a company available in Dallas that we could hire to help us with these questions, or in setting everything up once we purchase the equipment?
We're not looking for the cheapest solutions, but the best ones.
