Idle Timeout despite heavy use? |
|
|
I have a DLink-500T connecting a WIFI switch DLink-724PI. I've been
having problems with idle timeout despite heavy use. This occurs no
matter what I do, with one exception. I usually do web-serfing and
MMORPG gaming. In both cases, idle timeout occurs right on schedule
no matter how many bytes have been passed through the ISP. The
one exception is downloading which seems to be registered by the ISP
as bona fide traffic.
I've been working with ISP tech but they don't seem to have a clue. We
even run continuous pinging to see if it helps. Strangely enough, when
we tried this the first time it worked like a charm, no more idle
timeout.
It worked for about a day though and then it went back to idle timeout
every 15 minutes ping or no ping. The ISP gave me a new account to
play around with. Same problem except now the idle timeout problem
occurs every 30 minutes. To me, I think someone messed up the server
side config badly for the node servicing my home. Unfortunately, the
tech
people I'm dealing don't seem to be too knowledgeable. Any suggestion?
I have one workaround idea by setting up a background download for
some huge file. The downside of this is that it impacts the performance
of other things I do. Does anybody know a way to restrict download
speed
to, say, 1 kbps? The whole idea hear is to generate download traffic
that
the ISP server recognize as bona fide trafic so that timeout doesn't
occur.
Any download manager software to suggest that can do what I have in
mind? Thanks in advance.
