Hali kayo magsilapit kahit na po ilang saglit pakinggan nyo itong awit na hindi na mauulit.

Yesterday was a disaster for me. Fortunately, I worked it out finally. I started the day without opening all possible ways to access the router in case of changes. When the ISP executed the changes, I forgot to prepare the IP block for the router and I was unable to access it to perform the changes. So I ran to the nearest Radio Shack to purchase serial cable.  Now that I was able to access the router,  I implemented the changes — except for one line. The whole office did not have internet access until later in the afternoon when we were able to identify the problem.

So to continue Dong Abay’s song…

Trahedya trahedya trahedya!

I have had Verizon FiOS for more than a year now and as the service areas continue to grow, with the technology’s excellent service, I’m sure a lot have signed up for it. If Verizon provides you with an Actiontec modem/router then let me advice you to purchase another router because Actiontec will drive you crazy in the long run. I have 10mbps/3mbps down/up throughput and I download a lot as in I average 1GB/day (that’s a modest number). They aren’t illegal downloads per sé because they are distributed openly (KDrama). If I have more than 3 huge files in my μTorrent (or any other bittorrent client), others in my network wouldn’t have Internet access. That’s because I have NAT running and the routing table in Actiontec is not enough to handle huge amount of traffic. Therefore, overloaded packets are dropped giving my users nil resource. (more…)
