Re: (ASCEND) sick of lost of route problem with max4k
Sure no problem..
witht he help of Ascend's tech. support, we started looking into what could be
making my connection act this way. With a fresh upgrade of the software we
started looking at the routing table. We made a few adjustments to the netmask
portion my static ip ( from /24 to /32) but that didnt seem to help.. then we
looked at my PC that was having this problem.. Everything there seems ok also..
Then a funny thing happened. I have left my computer on all night ( lucky its a
local call) to see if the changes we made would help and later the next day my
connection was down. Before i realized that tho i pinged my pc and got a ~43ms
ping. and thought that was strange for a 28.8 modem on dialup. So then i
checked to see if my pc was still on the max and it wasn't and that REALLY
shook me. I immediatly called Ascend tech support again and got my guy i was
working on this with. He did some tests and found that there was
another pc on one of my bridged ISDN pipe50 profiles that had my IP!!. Now this
REALLY bothered me cuz i setup most of those pc on that side of the p50 and i
KNOW i wouldn't give my ip away. Turns out that the user of the workstation has
been getting "Dupilicate ip" errors for the past year or so ( approx. the same
time i have been trying to get pc stable with my static ip. They would get on
during the day time ( while i was at work) and we would hardly know of each
other unless i was at home in the daytime when their connection would become
active. Seems like someone reconfigured that pc after i did and just entered
random numbers and happend to choose mine. Heads will roll, but it was no fault
to Ascends hardware/software.
Thanks again Ascend for helping me (finally) putting this to bed.
