    I never usta get these errors. Now they're continuous. Can't find anything wrong. Connection seems ok. Torrents I can get up to 900 KB/s

    But why so many errors?

    Whaddaya mean what do I mean by errors. Took me fuckin half an hour to post this pic. See? It says errors. 1,555,167 fuckin errors.

    Yes, this thing motors when it wants to.

    What LAN hub. It's wireless, like radio.


    Funny thing is; on this screenshot there are only 200,000 packets received, no torrents going. Sometimes with torrents going that will of course be much higher, like 2mil+, but the errors seem to be the same, in the 1.5mil +


    Is it possible this fuckin Thai wailing they euphemistically call music that's always being played so loudly around here is distorting the signal?

    it's Wifi ? it means that some TCP packets had errors or were lost and had to be resent

    bad WIFI connection ? low reception ?

    See all them green thingies by signal strength?

    I've tried to reduce transmitting power to 50% on the chance the signal is too strong.....


    I assumed it had to resend, but then my performance will be reduced with that many errors. It aint. Weird.

    Ahh, yea I'd say Butterfly was right seeing as I don't even have a place for errors on a wired connection

    Huh?

    Right about what? I'm confused. Is this normal?

    Next time you do a screenshot like that, put some pussy in the background. Brightens things up.

    Strange. When certain users post I see no pictures at all, or broken links, depending on the browser.

    Yet other users it's absolutely fine.

    So I have no idea what your errors are.

    Looks like your wireless access point is on the fraz and is corrupting packets.
    But your wireless NIC in your puter is doing it's job and rejecting them.
    Nothing to worry about at this point, but I expect the fault will get worse over time.

    If it was happening on all pages, I'd give it a try. But it isn't.

    No, but a microwave oven in the vicinity, or a lot of metal surfaces will. Next door, downstairs...

    Don't get that? The errors are showing up on the connection panel, but he says that the performance is not affected.

    Without looking at the NIC and WAP through the CLI it's difficult to pinpoint the problem. Try wiring the computer to the WAP (modem) if the problem stops, then it could be WiFi interference, then you'd have to look at enviromental factors and try using a different channel, and if still does it there is most likely a problem in the device at layer 2 or 3 which means it's frazzed.
    Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!"

    Different problem Neo. I can't see the images in this thread on any browser, and it happens on other pages, too.

    But on yet other TD threads with photos, I have no problem.

    But I am going through a satellite link, which does give me some strange errors on pages which will load OK if I just refresh.

    Stranger still, I'm at home now trying on a different ISP that uses a different route, and it's exactly the same.

    I think my overzealous government firewall is blocking TD pictures.

    The c*nting thing.

    I hear ya. Believe me. I just don't understand ya.

    It's been a moon or two since I left the compyter industry and it's neverending geekspeak.

    If I wire the laptop to the router it uses a different interface, a la sabaii's.


    Here's an observation. I kill all progs that use the net, except this idle browser. No packets being tx or rx. Yet the errors keep clicking up non-stop. No cool flashing LED's indicating activity or packets rx on the panel. Nada. But I get errors, lots of errors......


    No microwaves running. Lucky bastard. Can you afford a microwave? The neighbours eat bananas.



    I don't think it's real errors. Taking my download speeds (sometimes) into consideration, as well as my laborious statement "Funny thing is; on this screenshot there are only 200,000 packets received, no torrents going. Sometimes with torrents going that will of course be much higher, like 2mil+, but the errors seem to be the same, in the 1.5mil +"

    and the fact the errors seem to run up independent of network activity.

    I breathlessly await insight, mainly coz I smoke too much. Purlease my chinas.

    Is it possible I got the wrong driver loaded.

    Ok well I would have to assume that it is the wifi router that is the problem.

    Any incorrect packets arriving at the router would be dropped there, so the corrupt packets arriving at your computer are being issued by the router.
    The reason is most likely a physical error in the build that is increasing over time, an inherent fault in the circuitry rather than a software error.

    You could get someone to look through the command interface on it and check the software is running correctly and try to pinpoint the error in the physical components, but the cost of that and repair would be more than buying another router. How long have you had it? They're built like any other product and start to fail after a year or two.

    For now, if you don't have any problems downloading etc, it's not something to be concerned about. It may stay in that state for some time or it may deteriorate further, in which case it's time for a new router.

    Without actually being there that's the best advice I can give, still I hope at least it's some peace of mind.

    Thanks. But as I say, even with no packets being received from the router, the errors keep clocking up. So it seems local, rather than the router.

    It's not affecting anything, so not serious.
