How to determine speed of internet connection

I am on a Carribean island on DSL service that seems to be intermittent. Is there a way to determine the speed of my connection and if it goes on and off. I have used the activity monitor but it doesn't show me the speed of the connection. Thanks.

You might try dslreports - here's the link to their international-based tests at http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest?more=1

How do I get the internet connection back onto ipad even though it connects to Wifi successfully and I have checked on my iPhone which does connect via the same wifi and to the internet?

How do I get the internet connection back onto ipad even though it connects to Wifi successfully and I have checked on my iPhone which does connect via the same wifi and to the internet?

Your router may not have given your iPod a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address shown starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPod (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make/model, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

Should connecting to a router affect speed of Internet connection?

I have a Netgear router and I have connected it to two MacBook Airs that I have.
I have cable internet, a line that comes out from the wall, and which I stick into the computer using the USB ethernet dongle.
But now that I am using a router, I connect the cable line into the router and use the ports to connect to the computers.
My question is:
What is the correct IP address that should be showing?
Network System Preferences show:
Status: Connected
USB ethernet is currently active and has the IP address 192:168.x.xx
The usual IP address (when I am not using a router) is usually 185.xxx.x.xx.
Is this OK, that it's showing the routher IP address?
The reason why I am asking is that the internet speeds seem to be slower when I am on the router.
It might just be my imagination and also because I am checking the speed a lot more than usual.
Should connecting a router affect the speed of the internet?
The router's maximum speed is 300 mbps and the cable internet's speed is 100 mbps.
I have noticed that the speed of the internet with the router is very variable: about 12 - 80 mbps.
Should I not worry?
I know that the internet speed with cable internet can fluctuate a lot more than with DSL.
Thanks for any replies.

I am connected to the router by LAN cables. I am not using wireless. I am using cable modem.
The cable from the wall goes to the router into the WAN port. Ethernet cables go from the router's LAN ports and to the two computers.
When I wasn't using the router, the speed of the cable internet could go as high as 100, occasionally as high as 200 (100 was the advertised speed of the cable internet).
Now, with the router, it's around 30. But I have gone as high as 80 while I have been testing with the router connected.
I think I am worrying for nothing, but I just want to know generally --- does a router affect the speed (assuming it's a router that can handle maximum speeds of the cable modem and that it's connected correctly, etc)?
I read that cable speed can depend on how many people are using it at the same time in that area and that sort of thing. I know the cable speed does vary a lot. But usually it's good during the daytime, about 90 mbps.

How to configurate a wired internet connection

Hello,
I have a macbook air, and in my workstation there is no wifi, but there is a RJ45 ethernet cable. Therefore, I have bought the apple usb ethernet adaptor MC704ZM, which is supposed to provide the internet connection.
The problem is that my macbook detects the usb ethernet adaptor, but ask me to configurate the connection; and that, I don't know how to do...
Can someone help me with that issue?
thanks

What is it asking. It's been a long time since I added the service but it seems like the defaults where all that was required.

How to set up CABLE internet connection

Hi,
I just installed Solaris 10 version. I am using Cable modem for internet.
Can somebody tell me how to set up internet connection please?
Thank you

Hello,
1. Please make sure that you are able to ping to the cable modem by setting both IP of both cable modem and system in the same range.
Hint: Please read the catalog come with cable modem to find default IP and change the System IP to the same range.
Normally the IP will be 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1
2. Access the cable modem through browser with the URL http://192.168.50.50 and make necessary changes.
2. Set the DNS in your system by editing /etc/resolv.conf. touch if it is not there.
3. Set the proxy in your browser if ISP have.
3. Then reboot the system.
Please follow the steps and let me know details.
Thanks,
Sal.

How do I fix this internet connection with Mobile Me setup?

Hi to the forum,
I purchased an apple ipod touch from Officeworks a few months back, and finally decided to set it up to work today.
I would like to get the Mobile me setup going, so I can locate my ipod if I accidentally lose it somewhere.
The only problem, is that after I have entered my password [which I am believing is the same as my apple itunes password to download intunes], I get this message saying:
"Verification Failed. The internet connection appears to be offline."
I am not sure how to join my ipod touch to the internet. I have it connected to my computer and I have itunes going, and my ipod is showing it is connected to my itunes program. I just can't workout how to actually have my ipod connected to the internet.
I am using Windows 7, and it is 64 bit.
Thanks if anyone has any clues as to what I should do here.
best,
Steve :-)

Hi Vazandrew,
thanks kindly for your reply. I will check out the link.
thanks and best,

How do i get an internet connection when i am out of range of my pc

hi...i have a 4th generation ipod touch...no problem with internet connection when i am close to my pc...but when i go out and am away from my pc i dont get a connection....... why is this and how do i get a permanent connection.................thanks

Because you iPod requires a wi-fi connection. It is not 3G or 4G like the iPhone. As lllaass said, you can get a portable wi-fi source that uses 3G or 4G technology, but there is a monthly subscription fee.

How to know Information of a Connection Pool

HI,
I want to know the information of a connection pool for example its maxSize and
what are the active connections in the pool programitically ie. thr' code.
I can monitor them thr' console.But how to monitor a pool thr' code.
And what does all the attributes like WaitSecondsHigh,Waiters,
WaitersHigh mean.how can i get information about them.
And how do i get the information of them thr' code.
I have seen that JDBCConnectionPoolRuntime gives information about the pool.But
how to create a object of this interface.
Can anyone provide me the code for this.
Let me explain more....
I have created a demo pool and has set the maximum connections size as 2.I tried
to get 3 connections from the pool and obvious a exception has raised.(java.sql.SQLException:
Pool connect failed: weblogic.common.ResourceException: None available).
so i am writing a class such that it keeps the connections in wait state when
the pool has reached its maximum value for which i should know what are the active
connections and the maximum size of the pool.
So please if any one can help me how to know these values of the connetion pool
programitically,it would be great.

Ventak:
This is a sample code i wrote some time ago.
import weblogic.management.MBeanHome;
import weblogic.management.WebLogicMBean;
import javax.naming.Context;
import javax.naming.NamingException;
import javax.naming.AuthenticationException;
import javax.naming.CommunicationException;
import weblogic.jndi.Environment;
import java.util.Collection;
import java.util.Iterator;
import weblogic.management.runtime.JDBCConnectionPoolRuntimeMBean;
import weblogic.management.configuration.JDBCConnectionPoolMBean;
import weblogic.management.WebLogicObjectName;
public class mbean
public static void main(String args[])
MBeanHome home = null;
try
Environment env = new Environment();
env.setProviderUrl(url);
env.setSecurityPrincipal(username);
env.setSecurityCredentials(password);
Context ctx = env.getInitialContext();
home = (MBeanHome) ctx.lookup(MBeanHome.JNDI_NAME+".wlcsServer");
// Note the type of the Mbean: JDBCConnectionPoolConfig - The fixed
configuration of the pool just as the console
// JDBCConnectionPoolRuntime - The runtime parameters of the pool, like
current connections
// To retrieve the Mbean JDBCConnectionPoolMBean via ObjectName
WebLogicObjectName o = new
WebLogicObjectName("commercePool","JDBCConnectionPoolConfig","wlcsDomain","w
lcsServer");
JDBCConnectionPoolMBean pool = (JDBCConnectionPoolMBean)home.getMBean(o);
// the same Mbean but without ObjectName
JDBCConnectionPoolMBean pool =
(JDBCConnectionPoolMBean)home.getMBean("ccPoolSuc","JDBCConnectionPoolConfig
System.out.println("TableName " + pool.getTestTableName());
// To retrieve the JDBCConnectionPoolRuntimeMBean
JDBCConnectionPoolRuntimeMBean poolR =
(JDBCConnectionPoolRuntimeMBean)home.getMBean(new
WebLogicObjectName("wlcsDomain:ServerRuntime=wlcsServer,Name=sucPool,Locatio
n=wlcsServer,Type=JDBCConnectionPoolRuntime"));
System.out.println("getActiveConnectionsCurrentCount()" +
poolR.getActiveConnectionsCurrentCount());
// To retrieve a collection of the Mbeans by Type
Collection Beans = home.getMBeansByType("JDBCConnectionPoolRuntime");
catch(Exception ex)
System.out.println("Error " + ex);
ex.printStackTrace();
return;
These are extracts of the actual code, providing you diferent ways.
By the way, the issue you are trying to solve with a waiting time for a
connection to be available is an out-of-the-box functionality of the
weblogic pool. But is also restricted to some like 5 secs. (if i remember
well) and the reason is to avoid thread contention.
So if you are going to implement some like that must be much carefull. The
better way is to play with the InitialCapacity, MaxCapacity,
CapacityIncrement and ShrinkPeriod parameters, giving the enough connections
to avoid as possible as you can the situation in which exists waiters of
connections.
Hope this help.

How to share Windows 7 Internet connection AND Extreme USB hard disk?

Hi All,
I'm trying to share the mobile broadband Internet connection on a Windows 7 PC as well as the USB hard disk connected to the Airport Extreme (2nd Gen) with other WiFi devices. The problem is that I can get either the one to work or the other, but not both.
When I configure the Airport Extreme for DHCP+NAT, all machines on the Airport network can see each other, share files, etc. When I enable Internet Connection Sharing on the Windows 7 machine, the only way I've gotten that to work is to set the Airport Extreme to bridge mode, but then file sharing of the Airport Extreme's disk no longer works.
Device info: Internet-connected Dell Latitude E5420 Windows 7 Professional 32-bit, Airport Extreme 802.11n (2nd Gen), Windows XP Home Edition + Nokia N8 + etc. WiFi devices.
I've read all the manuals I could find and searched these forums but haven't been able to figure out a solution. I'm really getting desperate and will really appreciate any and all suggestions!
Many thanks,
Francois

I've found a solution that works with my existing equipment. It's now possible to share the Windows 7 machine's Internet connection at the same time as the AirPort's drive. An additional challenge was to avoid having to manually reconfigure every WiFi client, but it turned out that's also possible.
For the sake of posterity, here's the guide! :-)
Background
My setup is based on an AirPort Extreme access point WiFi network. The AirPort shares a hard drive, and a number of Windows clients connect to the network. One of these, a Windows 7 machine, has a USB mobile broadband dongle which I also wanted to share with the network.
Previously I got this to work, but whatever configuration I came up with required manual reconfiguration of each network client, one way or the other. This was not ideal. Also, Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) defaults to IP address .1, the same one to which the AirPort defaults. This needed manual reconfiguration of the ICS host each time ICS was turned on.
Solution
THIS SOLUTION REQUIRES THE AIRPORT TO BE IN EITHER DHCP + NAT OR DHCP MODE. IF FOR SOME REASON YOU DEPEND ON THE AIRPORT BEING IN BRIDGE MODE, UNFORTUNATELY THIS SOLUTION WILL NOT WORK FOR YOU.
1. Do the AirPort's non-Internet configuration
On the AirPort Utility main screen, click the AirPort button, work through all the tab sheets and configure the items as you require. Do the same for the Printers, Disks and Advanced buttons. Once that's complete, we can do the Internet configuration.
2. Set the AirPort to DHCP & NAT
This is needed so you can choose the AirPort network address in the next step (but you can still set a different Connection Sharing mode later on, see step 7). For now, set Connection Sharing to Share a public IP address:
3. Set the AirPort to the same network address as ICS
Set the AirPort to the network address used by ICS, namely 192.168.137.xyz. Note that the AirPort does not allow a beginning address below 2:
4. Obtain the AirPort's MAC addresses
These will be used in the next step. Record both the Airport ID as well as the Ethernet ID:
5. Fix the AirPort IP addresses to prevent clashing with ICS
The AirPort will default to the same IP address as ICS, namely 192.168.137.1. To prevent this, assign different addresses to the AirPort with DHCP reservations. Underneath DHCP Reservations, click the '+' and create reservations for each of the AirPort and Ethernet interfaces. You can use other values, but to be consistent with the rest of this guide use 192.168.137.253 for the AirPort interface and 192.168.137.254 for the Ethernet inteface:
6. Distribute ICS configuration data with AirPort DHCP
Yes, you read right! This is where the magic happens. To avoid having to manually configure each WiFi client for the additional ICS network, that configuration data is included with the AirPort DHCP configuration. Assuming you've stuck to the numbers above, configure the TCP/IP screen exactly as shown. .254 is the AirPort router (and also its Ethernet interface) address, and .1 is the IP address that Windows configures for the ICS interface:
7. Set AirPort Connection Sharing
If your AirPort is sharing a connection on its WAN port, choose Share a public IP address, otherwise choose Distribute a range of IP address. In the latter case the NAT tab disappears:
8. Save your AirPort's configuration
Your AirPort configuration is now complete and you can push the Update button. Once your AirPort has rebooted, its network will be fully operational.
9. Ensure your Internet sharing port is correctly configured
ICS involves two network ports on the sharing computer - the shared Internet-connected port, and the sharing port connected to your local network. When you enable ICS on the shared port, Windows will temporarily configure the sharing port's settings to fit in with the scheme above (it will get the fixed IP address 192.168.137.1). When ICS is disabled, Windows will restore the default configuration of the sharing port. The purpose of this step is to ensure that the default sharing port configuration is correct. When ICS is inactive the sharing port needs to obtain an IP address automatically from the AirPort via DHCP. Right-click your chosen WiFi sharing connection > Properties > Networking > Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) > Properties and configure as follows:
10. Share your Internet connection
Right-click the connection you want to share > Properties > Sharing and configure as follows (you may find the other settings also useful but they're not covered here):
And now you're ready to enjoy your local network services as well as your shared Internet connection, all on your Airport Extreme network - without having to lift a finger to configure network clients!
Windows Network Profiles
If you use Windows network profiles to distinguish between Home, Work and Public networks, here are some additional notes you may find useful.
As Windows recognises networks, it applies their assigned profiles which add or remove sets of restrictions wrt. network discovery, file & printer sharing and so on. The amount of ICS configuration data that can be included with AirPort DHCP information is limited and in some instances this interferes with how Windows recognises networks.
It seems that Windows recognises a network once a default router has been configured for it. Following are some known scenarios with fixes for each, based on that principle.
1. WiFi network not recognised
When ICS is enabled, on the ICS host Windows configures only an IP address for the sharing port and no default router. When ICS is disabled, on the ICS host this port receives its configuration from the AirPort via DHCP, as do all other WiFi clients. This DHCP configuration includes router information for the ICS network, but again no router information for the AirPort network itself.
Therefore the AirPort network is not recognised on any Windows machines on the WiFi network, under any circumstances.
To make Windows recognise the AirPort network, execute the following from the command line with Administrator privileges:
     route -4 add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 192.168.137.254 metric 3000
This metric is high enough to ensure that "real" default routes get preference over this one.
If you want to remove the above routing table entry, execute the following from the command line with Administrator privileges:
     route -4 delete 0.0.0.0 192.168.137.254
For convenience I created shortcuts for these two commands.
2. WiFi network recognised, unrecognised network remains
Once you've added the route above to make Windows recognise your AirPort network, when ICS is disabled Windows will probably identify TWO networks on your WiFi adapter:
     Unidentified network, your_AirPort_network
Windows now recognises your AirPort network, but the DHCP router entry for the inactive ICS network makes it think there must be yet another network. However, the 192.168.137.1 ICS port is not present when ICS is inactive, so Windows reports the inactive router entry as an unidentified network.
If you want to remove this unidentified network/router entry, execute the following from the command line with Administrator privileges:
     route -4 delete 0.0.0.0 192.168.137.1
On your Windows ICS host, removing this entry can cause no harm.
However, on network clients where you removed this entry and subsequently want to share your Internet connection from again, you'll need to add it back.
To restore the ICS router entry, execute the following from the command line with Administrator privileges:
     route -4 add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 192.168.137.1 metric 1
