issues with a com21 cable
modem
----------
I have a problem with WAN
network node that uses a
cable modem to
connect.
The
components involved
are:
linksys
router
switch
hubs<
br>Win98
workstations
Win2000
server
cable
modem(s)
The
workstations use either
telnet or ICE.TCP to
connect to a windows 2000
server, SCO Unix, or
Novell server.
The
protocols involved are
IPX/SPX, TCP/IP, and pptp
(for a VPN
connection)
The
problem I am having is;
whenever the workstation
connects to the WAN
server, (another
location), via the cable
modem, the client
software (ICE.TCP) will
freeze up after about 5
minutes of use. Only the
telnet clients freeze.The
rest of the desktop
remains
unfrozen.
I am
thinking , possibly,
there is a packet size,
and/or speed issue
involving the VPN and the
cable modem.
Now
my question, (sorry about
the long email). Given
all the above
information, do you see
any component, protocol,
OS, or device that has
known issues with a com21
cable modem, the router,
or pptp protocol? I am
stumped!
Note:
when the connections
explained above are made
with an analogue modem,
the problem does not
arise. This makes me
think there is some issue
with the packet
sizes.
Note II:
All systems that use a
cable modem have this
problem, (throughout our
client list
any
help is greatly
appriciated |
