The network problem happened to me again today. Here's your questions and my answers:
What happens when you try to access the network? - When I try to open a web page, I just get no reply. Sometimes I get a reply after long time. Can you ping the router? Other hosts on the lan? Other hosts on the internet? By name? By IP? - I can ping the router: $ ping 192.168.1.1 PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=64.1 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=1.05 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=1.06 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=2.13 ms --- 192.168.1.1 ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 4 received, 0% packet loss, time 2999ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 1.057/17.102/64.149/27.166 ms $ I can ping other hosts on the lan: $ ping 192.168.1.11 PING 192.168.1.11 (192.168.1.11) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 192.168.1.11: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=3.97 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.11: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.845 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.11: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.854 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.11: icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=0.852 ms --- 192.168.1.11 ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 4 received, 0% packet loss, time 2997ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.845/1.631/3.973/1.352 ms $ I can ping other hosts on the internet: $ ping www.debian.org PING www.debian.org (194.109.137.218) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from klecker.debian.org (194.109.137.218): icmp_seq=1 ttl=47 time=401 ms 64 bytes from klecker.debian.org (194.109.137.218): icmp_seq=2 ttl=47 time=415 ms 64 bytes from klecker.debian.org (194.109.137.218): icmp_seq=3 ttl=47 time=404 ms 64 bytes from klecker.debian.org (194.109.137.218): icmp_seq=4 ttl=47 time=404 ms --- www.debian.org ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 4 received, 0% packet loss, time 3321ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 401.797/406.603/415.951/5.495 ms $ $ ping www.google.com PING www-china.l.google.com (64.233.189.104) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from hk-in-f104.google.com (64.233.189.104): icmp_seq=1 ttl=240 time=58.9 ms 64 bytes from hk-in-f104.google.com (64.233.189.104): icmp_seq=2 ttl=240 time=55.1 ms 64 bytes from hk-in-f104.google.com (64.233.189.104): icmp_seq=3 ttl=240 time=54.2 ms 64 bytes from hk-in-f104.google.com (64.233.189.104): icmp_seq=4 ttl=240 time=60.5 ms --- www-china.l.google.com ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 4 received, 0% packet loss, time 3003ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 54.227/57.232/60.585/2.627 ms $ By speed, do you mean latency or data transfer time? - I don't know. When I access a web page, it is finished after long time. Sometimes it just fails. What are the ping times like (before and after suspend?) - Pinging seems ok even when internet is inaccessable. How long does name resolution take? - Name resolution seems ok. Do protocols other than HTTP also suffer? What about other browsers? - Other browsers such as Epiphany and w3m don't work either. And also, when this happened, I plugged the wire and tried the wired network, it failed too. Thank you very much.
