Hi,We wish to report a brief notice on our site. We found out that on the reply rate of site that it does not exceed a time to life (TTL) of 63during ping reply from the ISP's Gateway (10.0.0.254). We obtain a reply of 32bytes, times=540ms and a TTL of 63 ~ 64 instead of TTL of 120 ~ 128 and bytes of 60 or higher. We would want a brief information regarding the situation, is it that we are not using up to our complete Bandwidth rate of 128/128kbps, or that our Time to Live is normal (TTL).

How do get a notice from our ISP, when a maintenance or a Shutdown is going to take place. This is to enable us know when the site is going to be down

How do i configure my TTL to match that of my ISP.
My windows default is 128 but my ISP's is 60. i believe this is causing me some transfer loses. Please tell me how to harmonize this values with that of my ISP.

There is no value in "harmonizing" your TTL with an ISP's TTL value. It won't help you in any way. Each time a packet of data goes through a network device, the TTL value is decremented by one by that device. When the value reaches zero the packet is dropped. Making your value 60 would simply mean your packets couldn't go through as many devices before being dropped, though if you are passing through 60 or more network hops, you should expect a fair amount of delay in responses.

i have problem with my dns,i can not see dns of my isp,what can l do.as a result l can no longer browse

Contact your ISP.

I'm trying to play online for my ps2, and after a week of messing with it i finaly got it to a screen that says "authenticating DNAS". Then it says it timed error (603). The only thing i can think to do is go back to the configuration and fill in the secondary DNS server (the only thing i have blank) but i don't know where or how to find it. Can you help me?

I have my modem hooked up to my router and ive been on the internet several times. Of course my internet is "supposed" to be on all the time but for some unknown reason my internet disconnects and connects all the time, maybe about 20 to 30 min constantly over and over again, and this gets really annyoying. Could it be the way i set up my router? Do i need a new ip adress? I wasnt given a static ip since i have cable internet. Can you help please?

I have almost the same problem, i am sharing a wirless connection with my roommate. He has the modem in hes room, and i am using my laptop to play ps2 online through. But for some reason, i get disconnected every 2 minut. And than it is working 100% again... Any ideas what i can do?
