Problem: I try to telnet to my system, and after typing the first two or three
characters of my username, my connection hangs. The system on the
other end is apparently ok.
System: "Hooked In" through an ISP called "WantWeb", the system is connected
to a Hybrid modem acting as a gateway to the net. The Hybrid modem
takes outgoing signals and pushes them through a standard modem, and
recieves signals beck from a microwave antenna.
Notes: The Linux box is running debian 1.3 from CheaapBytes. It uses IP
masquerading to service the other systems in my house, but this should
be irrelevant. This is the machine I am telnetting to.
Since I'm on essentially a dial-on-demand system, When someone (like me
in this situation) tries to connect to my box, it might take a second
or two to dial me, but then transmission should be fine. This was the
case until recently.
Recent changes: Added web site, a couple of external accounts, etc.
Does anyone have a way that I can, say, test the load on a line (using a text
window-- the linux system isn't running X currently)? This would solve one of
my suspicions-- That someone could be bogging down the net (not likely, since
This happens when noone is logged in and the web site isn't being accessed).
Otherwise, any ideas?
