Internet Problems
For a very long time my broadband randomly cuts out, I think it always has. Only for a few seconds though as my modem reconnects. The problems is I then get a new IP. With a router it doesn’t care. However I’m using, and have been for the last year using Small Business Server 2003 as my router. When the external IP changes it needs to renew the ip. How this was getting annoying as it seems to be increasing lately. So I made a small program (this is an ugly hack) to ping google every 2 seconds, if it fails 3 times in a row, it releases and renews the IP. I also decided to log every time it has to do this. I then plotted a graph, with some interesting results:
I’m still logging to see how this trend continues.
