not surprising.. u kno if ITS replaced all their Microsoft servers by lin-ux servers the network might improve.. I reckon the microsoft servers are to blame not P2P.. I bet they randomly spam the network (if they're not dead from overworking ie having run a process )

that would make me giggle
well all the engineers kno it.. n I kno that at least a few of them would prefer lin-ux any day.. I'm sure its the management and leadership that think they're super wise and yet its their incompetence thats keeping the network from being fixed

The service here has been absolutely shocking. I get booted continuously every 30 seconds regardless of what I'm connected to. I can't even upload things for this website I run because it keeps disconnecting...ugh.
The DNS servers were unaccessible to me all through last night and most of today.
The connection resets have started again tonight and so I've written a full fault report to the ITS helpdesk. This includes a full log of all the disconnects (it's long). These were from 19:52 to 20:13 and again from 20:44 to 21:32 last night. Tonight, the same has occured from 20:48 onwards (it is now 22:33 and is still going on). I have also attached a screenshot of my firewall showing the simultaneous forcefull conection reset on two entirely independant connections, one to quakenet.co.uk:8080 and one to my server oliford.co.uk on ssh (http://files.oliford.co.uk/resnet-failu ... -RESET.png if anyone cares) and then this piece of text:
my email to ITS wrote:Connections to speedwell.csv.warwick.ac.uk and maia.epp.warwick.ac.uk are unaffected. An image file is attached with a screenshot of my firewall trapping the simultaneous connection reset of IRC and SSH.
The above information is enough to assertain that a machine on the RESNET gateway to the internet is terminating these connections and as far as I can see this cannot be a direct effect of there being too much traffic on our subnet, unless the policy is to start forcefully dropping connections when the subnet traffic reaches its maximum.
Nope...for the past 3 evenings, from about 7/8pm, the internet has started disconnecting every couple of mins. This makes MSN and many other applications almost unusable. Yet there have been a coyple of things (downloading a file off a friend for instance) that seemed to be completely unaffected for some reason.
It makes no sense!
