Thread: Packet Loss problem (Kolkata)

thanks essbebe,

I tried option 1, yesterday did not work.
I tried option 1 with open DNS server did not work.

Today I tried option 1 with BSNL provided DNS entry, now at least I am able to connect net.

I removed line going to phone and I think that helped to reduce packet drop problem.
(currently drop rate is 2-3% for around 1 hour, earlier it was appx 10-15%)

Now procedue to connect to net (for me) is as following:
1) Connect the phone line to splitter
2) remove the receiver to make DSL and internet light glow.
3) Remove phone line from splitter (and put back the receiver)
4) Now access the net with drop rate of 2-3%.

2-3% drop rate was when I was not accessing internet but just simply pinging yahoo.co.in

Now I am checking with packet drop rate while accessing internet.

If I am able to access net with this drop rate for another 3-4 days then I will try option 2 to avoid that packet drop also.

I will update the latest after 3-4 days (or may be tomorrow if it does not work)

AW thanks a lot for router configuration page.

I just checked the link for TCP IP optimizer, seems to be nice tool, will try it also.

thanks essbebe

@rkrsingh
Glad to note there is some improvement.
Watch performance for two or three days.

I was also having severe problem/s with BSNl for since apr 24th, and finally after complaining to All India complaints web site
my connection appears to have been restored. this evening .
one BSNL DNS 203.145.185.40 and another open dns.
all the time i was working with Airtel ISP.

Please inform the BSNL DNS you are using

Procedure you are using is unusual. Any other parallel
( concealed telephone lines).?
The rule is PHONE must be connected AFTER THE ADSL SPLITTER. any number of ADSL splitters can be used for phones in different rooms.
( usually more than 3 or 4 not recommended )

I am in Bangalore and using following DNS:

Preferred DNS Server: 192.168.1.1
Alternate DNS Server: 218.248.240.146


thanks for TCP/IP optimizer suggestion.

I will try and let you know.

Today loss is 0% (0.1-0.4%).

I have to go BSNL office and made them to send some person.

Seems to be some problem with telephone wire. Now it works great.

Thanks a lot to all

Alright so my internet has been working fine since i posted last till a few hours ago.
I see the exact same problems with intermittent packet loss.
