I just updated our linksys router to the latest firmware. I was a few updates behind, and loads of leaks (buffers) and other stuff are fixed.

This may have caused high ping times..

One thing though. All the 'fake' high pings were coming 1 hop from me. The IP was a LAN (router?) IP "10.102.192.1". Every tracert I did would show it. It's gotta be the Router's internal IP, because NOW, with this new firmware, I have TWO hops as "10.102.192.1". What is all that about?


0 | | 192.168.254.3 | IRONWORKS2 (private use)
1 | | 10.102.192.1 | - (This is the odd IP) (private use)
2 | | 10.102.192.1 | - (Second one) (private use)
3 | | 24.92.7.42 | atm5-0-644.tampflerl-rtr1.tampabay.rr.com

Any ideas?

I have really never seen something hop through the same IP twice... Have you tried to get it's MAC?
My guess is, wltho it's a bit odd, that it's a weird way of marking a router's destination and origin ports... but still, it's mucho weird...

Hmmm... strange. I've not seen that before, and I can't think of a reason why it would put itself in there twice. Any info on the Linksys support area about it? Might be a bug in that edition of firmware.

Z, back to basics, how many routers you running?
Any server farm routers?
How many close to location users are in the atm cloud?

One router. One server. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I posted a detailed description on speedguide, maybe they can figure it out too, because this is crazy. Any ideas??

Only if you had more routers.

Did anybody recently plug into the server as a host? Or a new monitor? Is anybody on the net via the server, or through the server that was not prior to the upgrade?

Any wireless or IR involved?

Heck, anything new for that matter?
