Can somebody explain (connection time)

Because of broadband problems, I've been keeping intermittent track of my connection times and IP profile.
Best way is to show you...the first set was 2 days ago at lunchtime.
11/8/11
@12:00 noon
Downstream
1,408 Kbps
Upstream
448 Kbps
Connection time
0 days, 7:58:42
Download speed achieved during the test was - 949 Kbps
 For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 200-1000 Kbps.
 Additional Information:
 Your DSL Connection Rate :1408 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 448 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
 IP Profile for your line is - 1000 Kbps
Here's tonight's...
Download speed achieved during the test was - 683 Kbps
 For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 200-1000 Kbps.

Upstream

Connection time

(My bold and red)
So - can somebody please explain what's going on?
I have enough trouble understanding why the dratted connection keeps dropping for no apparent reason and at seemingly random intervals.  But this...is....mind boggling.  How can I possibly have been connected for 0 days - and then 2 days later be connected (on the same computer) for 48 days?  I won't bother asking why I only have 750 for a freakin' profile, I know that's likely down to my very unstable connection.  Something I will get back to attempting to sort out when the kids go back to school.  But - if this kind of thing means my modem is on the way out - it's the kind of thing it would be nice to know before I start drilling holes in the wall and buying shielded cable.
HELP?
(Oh, and what's with the box jumping up and down while I'm typing this? Or is that because the husband's wifi-ing something now...geez!)

Oh, and while I'm asking stupid questions, I found this.
huh?  I live very nearly out in the middle of nowhere.  Intrusions?  What - do sheep or passing birds have wi-fi now?  Or is it just protecting my home network from the cars passing by on the 66 at 70+ mph?  You know, just asking out of curiosity (and a strong desire to put off doing more housework...lol).

    There is no reliable way. Better test whether you can go to where you want to go. And be prepared to support proxies, even the complex ones that require authentication. 
    System.Net.NetworkInformation.NetworkInterface.GetIsNetworkAvailable reports your local connectivity regardless of whether one of your connected networks has Internet access.
    Microsoft's Network Awareness API (the one used in control panel\network and sharing center) use a connection test to a web site setup by Microsoft. But your customers could be behind cooperative firewalls that make this test unusable even when Internet
    access is available though other means (e.g. via a local proxy server). If you want to connect to your own web site, then you can skip that and just connect to your web site instead. Even if you were able to connect to Microsoft's web site there is no guarantee
    your web site would be accessible in the same network.

    Dear Song,
    Answers to your queries are given below:
    Sample function module:
    u2022 Is only used as a template for creating the standard function modules to be carried out
    u2022 Defines the interface that is binding for the standard function modules
    u2022 Describes in its documentation what the underlying event can be used for
    Standard function module:
    Name of application-specific standard function module that can be carried out at a given time.
    The standard function module interface corresponds to the sample function module, which it must match exactly.
    Active function module:
    Function module which is to be called for the specified event.
    If you don't want to take printout then use Functional module 340 as Event 0340 is called when all data is read for a dunning notice.
    You can use standard function module FMCA_DUNNING_READ_ITEMS_0340 for this purpose.
    Hope it will solve your query.
    Warm Regards

  • Can somebody explain to me how java and xml are related?

    Hi guys
    im new to java and xml.Been reading a lot regarding java and don't seem to have a problem with it...
    the problem is the xml part...im doing a simple GUI project using swing(online store) and i have to convert it to xml
    I have absolutely NO IDEA why i must convert my java to xml and have no idea how to do that.I been reading on the net that xml is a exten~ markup language and it is better and useful.
    Can somebody explain to me in layman terms
    1)how is java and xml related in?
    2)why do ppl want to convert java to xml when they can just stick to java
    3)what is actually xml...
    4)Do i need a program to create xml like i need jcreater to create java application
    5)How do we actually convert?is there any links that you guys could tell me?
    thank you
    tomleo

    im new to java and xml.Been reading a lot regarding
    java and don't seem to have a problem with it...Okay.
    the problem is the xml part...im doing a simple GUI
    project using swing(online store) and i have to
    o convert it to xmlYou have to? So presumably somebody in a position of authority told you that?
    I have absolutely NO IDEA why i must convert my java
    to xml and have no idea how to do that.I been reading
    on the net that xml is a exten~ markup language and
    it is better and useful.I have no idea either (besides which, it doesn't make sense). But why ask us? Somebody told you to do that, ask them why.
    Sure, XML is useful. But it isn't a programming language so it can't be used as a substitute for Java.
    Can somebody explain to me in layman terms
    1)how is java and xml related in?They aren't related, except perhaps in that they are both used in computers.
    2)why do ppl want to convert java to xml when they
    can just stick to javaThey don't.
    3)what is actually xml...Start here for numerous definitions:
    http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&lr=&oi=defmore&q=define:XML
    4)Do i need a program to create xml like i need
    jcreater to create java applicationNo, XML is just text. But then Java code is just text too.
    5)How do we actually convert?is there any links that
    you guys could tell me?You don't convert Java to XML. My guess is that because you don't know much about Java or XML, you have misinterpreted something that somebody told you.

  • Can somebody explain what the Radix number is in Character

    I am looking for a good way of converting numbers to characters and I was reading up on the Character API, and they are using this term Radix, and I don't understand what that is all about. Can somebody explain what the radix is for?

    Wait a second I tried this code out and this is the output
    System.err.println(Character.digit('a', 10));and i get a -1, which means "not a valid digit in the specified radix.
    Then I tried other combinations like
    System.err.println(Character.digit('a', 11));
    System.err.println(Character.digit('b', 12));
    System.err.println(Character.digit('c', 13));and they all work, and but with only those sequential characters and numbers. So right now I am very confused as to what this radix, or this function serves. Can somebody explain?

  • [SOLVED] Can somebody explain how to connect with BitlBee to Jabber?

    I've read archwiki about bitlbee ssh and irssi setup, but still can't connect. So what I do, as soon as I start "irssi" I enter "/connect im.bitlbee.org", then "/join #bitlbee", then I get into a chatscreen, where I should enter "help commands" or "help" according to wiki , but I don't get any messages, its a chat, so when I enter these commands they are shown just as plain chat messages in the screen.

  • Can somebody explain this strange method overloading behavior

    Please check the following code out......
    Snippet 1) compiles while Snippet 2) does not. Can someone explain. Thanks in advance for your help.
    Snippet 1)
    public class AQuestion
    public void method(Object o)
    System.out.println("Object Verion");
    public void method(String s)
    System.out.println("String Version");
    public static void main(String args[])
    AQuestion question = new AQuestion();
    question.method(null);
    // second version of this code.....
    Snippet 2)
    public class AQuestion
    public void method(StringBuffer sb)
    System.out.println("StringBuffer Verion");
    public void method(String s)
    System.out.println("String Version");
    public static void main(String args[])
    AQuestion question = new AQuestion();
    question.method(null);

    foo( SuperClass parm ) {}
    foo( SubClass parm ) {}
    Now somewhere in your code you do this:
    SuperClass myVar = new SubClass();
    foo( myVar );Which one do you want the JVM to call? Well, you want
    it to call the more specific one.
    So it calls foo( SubClass ). But if you sayNo, it doesnt. At compile time the compiler cannot know the complete type of myVar. It can only assure that myVar is of the type SuperClass. And it inserts no dynamic type-checking. And therefore it calls foo(SuperClass).
    It also does that if myVar is null (no dynamic type checking).
    SuperClass myVar = null;
    foo( myVar );
    foo(SuperClass) is called !!!
    foo(null);
    foo(SubClass) is called.
    SuperClass myVar = new SubClass();
    foo( myVar );
    SuperClass myVar = new SuperClass();
    foo( myVar );
    Can you cast myVar as an instance of SuperClass?
    yes.
    Can you cast myVar as an instance of SubClass?
    No.
    This is true of null; null can be cast as SuperClass
    or SubClass.
    No I dont think so. because null doesnt provide any method specified in SuperClass. Thus there can't be done a type cast. Null must be treated specially. It simply fits every class type at compile time.
    If the static (known at compile time) type of a parameter is known (not null) then the method with exactly the same parameter type is called or the one with the most specific parameter type in the line of inheritance of the given parameter - independent from the dynamic (known at runtime) type of the given parameter. If the parameter is null and if there is only one "line of inheritance" then null matches the most specific type by definition. If there are more "lines of inheritance" for the parameters then null would match each most specific type, and thus its not clear which method to use.
    I think this has nothin to do with type casts.

  • Can somebody explain what is LUW ?

    Hi Gurus,

    I went through some book, but i am not able to get the concept.

    Thanks & regards

    hello Rajesh,
    Did you go this through this:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/41/7af4bfa79e11d1950f0000e82de14a/content.htm
    Check this out.
    Anyways as you know in SAP the user acting a presentation level tries to read/write data from database using SAP application layer. This entire activity consists of several dialog steps (small activities if you may) and is termed as a LUW. So an SAP LUW consists of several dialog steps which are dependent on each other. Only if all are completed is a LUW executed successfully and in case of any failures entire thing is roll backed and terminated.

  • Please can somebody explain spaces to me?

    Hi, I have just tried to activate spaces and I've read the description of it etc. but having activated and apparently assigned different applications to different spaces e.g. safari to space 2, iphoto to space 3, I still don't get what the point of it is and what it's supposed to be doing. Please can someone explain in absolutely the most basic terms possible what spaces is supposed to do and how you get it to do it? Is there a video tutorial on this? I thought that perhaps it would split my screen up into four so that I could view all four things at once? All, that seems to happen is that when I select an application a little box of the spaces appears towards the bottom of the middle of the screen and then it disappears. I'm clearly missing something really important here but I don't know what it is. At the moment I can't see what's different to spaces from simply selecting applications normally. Also, when I try to look it up people keep mentioning this expose thing, but I don't understand what that is either.

    I struggled to explain the idea of virtual workspaces for several years and finally hit on the idea of using the example of a house. Each room of a house has a specific purpose, though at times we can make a room serve another purpose. Spaces lets us build a house for our screen and decide what use we'll put to each room. In spaces 1 we might put word processing, Photoshop Elements into spaces 2, Safari into spaces 3, and leave spaces 4 for everything else. When we start up the word processor OS X takes us right into spaces 1 - just as we'd go to the kitchen to cook. If we need to check a source online we start up Safari and OS X takes us into spaces 3. If we want to return to word processing we move back into spaces 1 - how we do that can be set in the spaces preferences, I use control # usually (that is ctrl 1 to move to spaces 1, ctrl 3 to move to spaces 3).
    There are many advantages of spaces including the ability to run many programs with less clutter. I can get an overview of my entire house by pressing a function key (and that has a user preference setup too) and while looking at the overview I can temporary move a program window from one space to another. Not everyone needs spaces but for those of us who run many programs at once, spaces is a very convenient way to organize the desktop.

  • Can somebody explain keyword hierarchies?

    IN LR, I have keyword hierarchy:
    event
    holiday
    thanksgiving
    christmas
    hot air balloon
    albuquerque 2006
    faribault 2004
    and I have images assigned..... Looking at an image, the keyword tags pane may look like thanksgiving>holiday. BUT, it DOESN'T have the whole hierarchy thanksgiving>holiday>event. How come? AND, I may also have assigned albuquerque 2006 to the image. But THAT one may look like (in the whole alphabetical list) albuquerque 2006, xxx, yyy, event, eee>fff, hot air balloon, qqq and so on.......
    Can SOMEBODY give me the explanation of what its doing, and HOW to get all this stuff to actually show up as hierarchies? I'm looking on line, in the LR manual, AND in a LR book I've got, and I can't find how this works ANYWHERE..... <strangled scream of annoyance>

    From my experience, the only time I get a hierarchy (ie, xxx > yyy) showing up in the Keyword Tags pane is if there are more than one "yyy" keywords in my list. For example, I just created this hierarchy:
    AAA
    BBB
    CCC
    AAB
    CCC
    When I assigned
    b CCC
    to a photo, I got a pop-up showing the options
    b CCC > AAA
    and
    b CCC > AAB
    . Instead of choosing, I deleted
    b > AAA
    and hit enter. The keyword assigned to the photo was
    b CCC > AAA
    Next I assigned
    b BBB
    to the photo, and the new keyword list was
    b BBB, CCC > AAA
    . When I go to the "Keywords and containing keywords" view, I get
    b AAA, BBB, CCC > AAA
    (because
    b CCC
    doesn't fully describe the keyword)
    To address your initial question directly, I don't think you will ever see your full hierarchy unless your keyword is only one level deep, and it is a duplicate of another keyword. The only reason you see a hierarchy (>) in the Keyword Tags section is to differentiate two identical keywords.
    One more thing, it's typically not advised to use locations as keywords. That's what the Location metadata is for. I suppose if you have multiple levels
    i below
    the "Location" level (your lakes, for instance) you'll need to create keywords. But for most applications, the Metadata takes care of that, which helps to minimize clutter in your keyword list.

  • Changed router box - and can't re-connect time capsule ?

    I have upgraded my wlan router box - and therefore changed my network name - and i can't reconnect my time capsule. In airport utility it doesn't pick it up. Please help ?

    Your Time Capsule was programmed to remember the settings to "join" your "old" wireless network. It is still looking for that network to connect, but cannot because the network is no longer there.
    You will need perform a Factory Default Reset on the Time Capsule and reconfigure it again with the correct settings for your new wireless network.
    I am sure that you know the name of the network, but you may not know the exact type of wireless security that  your new wireless router is using.
    Check your documentation to find out about this, as you will need to provide the Time Capsule with the correct information to join the new network.
    If the Time Capsule does not receive the right settings, it will not be able to join the network and you will see a blinking amber light instead of green on the Time Capsule after you save the configuration settings by clicking Update.
    The Factory Default Reset is a bit tricky....you almost need 3 hands.
    Pull the power cord from the back of the Time Capsule
    Wait 4-5 minutes
    Hold in the reset button and keep holding it in for another 8-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power back in to the Time Capsule
    Release the reset button after the hold period and allow approximately 30 seconds for the Time Capsule to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click Continue to follow the guided setup to configure the Time Capsule to "join" your wireless network
    A green light about 25-30 seconds after you click Update will signal a successful setup. If you only get the blinking amber light...you will need start all over with the Factory Default Reset and try again.
    The reset will not affect the existing backups on your Time Capsule, but you will need to reset Time Machine again to get backups going. Post back if you need info on this.
