Jez @ H-Dev Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) I've got a bit of a problem with this forum on my windows laptop. When I click on links there is a ~95 second delay, nothing happens and then all of a sudden the page loads fine. Heres the results of some testing I've done: Laptop is fine with other forums and web sites Sometimes the page will load quickly, but only 2-3 pages and then it goes slow Ping test to 350z-uk.com is fine all the time (resolves instantly to 94.76.203.122) Problem occurs with Explorer, Safari and Opera There no problem on my GFs Macbook During the waiting period, if I try to view a page in another browser it is also delay and then they both load the page at the same time. I dont think its a broadband or wifi problem - seems to be a problem with my laptop and 350z-uk.com Any ideas of things I can try? Drives me nuts Edited October 17, 2012 by Jez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoogyRev Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Does it make a difference if you got to 350z-uk.com or 370z-uk.net? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricey Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 My connection with forum has been all over the place for the last week or so. I still only seem to get max 2 pages of new posts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 My connection with forum has been all over the place for the last week or so.

M13KYF Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 avatar may have been lost when we did the big move unfortunately Jez. I'm guessing you had uploaded it up to the forum. Please try re uploading again. what is your ip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 what is your ip If you look at Jez's post information, he's on a dynamic IP, which might be causing problems if the firewall is blocking them. Means there's no single IP where he is posting from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez @ H-Dev Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 I access the forums from work (where everything works fine) and home, both on dynamic IP addresses. I'll upload my avatar again now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marzman Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Do you live in a flat or anything like that Jez? i.e. do you have a shared internet connection and/or a proxy that you need to go through such as Webroot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez @ H-Dev Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 No, not shared. My GFs Macbook works fine - its something to do with my laptop I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beavis Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Might be an idea to give your pc a clean up. Have you tried ccleaner? I find it fixes many things especially internet related. http://www.piriform.com/CCLEANER http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez @ H-Dev Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 Thanks for the recommendation - doesn't seem to have made any difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyV6 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Sounds like you have an intermittent drop out of connection for some reason. Especially when you say "During the waiting period, if I try to view a page in another browser it is also delay and then they both load the page at the same time." sounds to me like your internet connection on the laptop (wireless/wired not sure) has dropped periodically and then all starts to work again?! I would try the laptop connected via ethernet cable, and if it is already then try a different cable. Also try using Google's DNS servers in your connection properties - 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez @ H-Dev Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 Fixed it! I really hoped that the new forum software would help my problem but it didn't. It made me determined to find out what was going on. After a bit of faffing about with a network packet sniffer it turns out that my laptop / my router / this server doesn't like TCP handshakes with ACK time stamps on. Switched them off and it's all good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Glad you got it sorted Jez, and thanks for posting the solution, it could give us something to loo for server side if anyone else suffers the same issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez @ H-Dev Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 (edited) This was the most helpful page i could find about the prob i had http://serverfault.com/questions/235965/why-would-a-server-not-send-a-syn-ack-packet-in-response-to-a-syn-packet It mentions some server side solution too. Not sure how this server is set up. Edited October 17, 2012 by Jez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Thanks jez, will investigate server side settings for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK350Z Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 How did you turn it off Jez? Sounds a bit like the problem I have a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez @ H-Dev Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 (edited) I set the Tcp1323Opts to 0 in the registry. It used to be set to 3 on my laptop (which had the problem) - just checked my work PC (which doesn't have the problem) and the registry entry doesn't exist Got it from here: http://www.speedguid...stry-tweaks-157 You need to fire up regedit (take a backup and be very careful using this - easy to screw things up). Navigate to this setting: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters Tcp1323Opts="1" (DWORD, recommended setting is 1. The possible settings are 0 - Disable RFC 1323 options, 1 - Window scaling but no Timestamp options, 3 - Window scaling and Time stamp options.) Mine was set to 3, now set to 0.
