[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Router Problems - Fixed!

Posted: 8/31/2004 11:23:09 AM EDT

Ok we're pretty sure we identified the problem with the router and resolved it. We'll still continue to monitor things during the day and evening in order to ensure things are clear.

We do not think it was an attack on the router, but a problem caused by an internal server. That server has been shut down for the time being and will be taken out of the network room for evaluation. It's actually one of the older servers and a new server was just ordered to replace it, so it wont be going back in. We expect the new server to be ready in a week or two.

We can't say with certainty that this was the problem, but we're pretty sure it was a large part of it and as we watch the network tonight, we'll have abetter understanding of what was going on.

Sorry for the trouble!!!

I'm network illiterate.

Just what kind of hardware is involved in maintaining AR-15.com?

Keep it simple for us truck drivers, please.

Well we have both lines of quality performance products.

At this time we have a half dozen HAMSTERS and another 2-3 GERBILS which help keeps things stable and efficient. Our goal is to eventually upgrade to a GUNIEA PIG and replace some of the smaller rodents.

This problem was actually caused by one of the Gerbils turning on our router and flooding it from inside with useless information. We shot the Gerbils and ordered new hamsters to replace them.

Ha Nice!

Email me and if you get anything from sales, I'll make sure to funnel all the purchases through you.

Servers and software are usually piece of cake, don't think I have ever made a call. Routers and networks drive me nuts cause so much can go wrong!!!! On top of that, I am a cisco n00b and learning as I go.

Now, what exactly were the gerbils doing?

I've got a couple of SQUIRRELS in the basement, if they'll help.

Is AK47.net more reliable than AR15.com?

I think there's enough squirrels around this place already.

You're not really in the big leagues until you have at least one CHIPMUNK!

Aww, this one's too easy

Everyone knows that AK47.net is more reliable. Due to it's loose clearances, it will continue to function even with sand and dirt dumped in it's case. You could even throw the server in mud and it would continue to work. AR15.com servers need constant cleaning and oiling, as they will fail if the slightest bit of dust gets inside them. Plus, the crazy network interface will send nonsense back into the case for every packet that gets sent out on the network. There have been some complaints that AK47.net packets are less accurate then AR15.com packets, but they are close enough to get to the client at any reasonable range.

Now, don't get me started on wolf routers...

We had a server network card go crazy on us onetime. Locked up the whole network. You think that was what may of happened?

Hey Matthew_Q, I have gold contracts on a dozen or so servers and I HATE calling for support. Do you handle gold too? BTW, remember the door you took off your truck and brought out to the Georgetown shoot? It hangs on the wall a few dozen feet from those server.
