Hi all, I have a client who's had a DSL line for a few years, a few months ago it started to kick him off line. I've checked and re-checked all his equipment and found the linksys DHCP server was crapping out. Changed all systems to static and everything looked fine. Got a call two weeks later that he was still getting dropped from the DSL. I had Verizon send a new modem and ran some other checks (pings, tracert and log files). I found that the DynDNS client I had running was getting a new address every 15 -20 min. So we called V and asked if they changed anything (I'm sure you all know the answer) "everything is normal on our end". Now I'm not stupid and I've been doing this network crap for ten years, I know I didn't change anything for me client and out of nowhere he has connection issues. So I was over there last night and found something I've never seen before. I was running tracert and the destination address would show as the first hop, like this: C:\>tracert google.com -d Tracing route to google.com [64.233.167.99] over a maximum of 30 hops: 1 <10 ms <10 ms <10 ms 64.233.167.99 <this is teh oddness> 2 <10 ms <10 ms <10 ms 207.106.0.241 3 <10 ms <10 ms <10 ms 207.106.96.93 4 <10 ms <10 ms <10 ms 169.130.80.33 5 <10 ms <10 ms <10 ms 4.78.164.9 6 16 ms <10 ms 16 ms 209.247.9.253 7 16 ms 31 ms 31 ms 64.159.0.237 8 16 ms 31 ms 32 ms 4.68.101.67 9 32 ms 46 ms 47 ms 209.247.34.26 10 32 ms 47 ms 46 ms 72.14.232.57 11 31 ms 47 ms 47 ms 64.233.175.42 12 32 ms 46 ms 47 ms 64.233.167.99 Trace complete. C:\> This is not the trace from his network but that's what it looked like. Now AFAIK the first hop should be your local router. Anybody seen this before? His setup is as follows: DSL-line-------westell 6100------linksys router------network I know that westell 6100 was a pain in the ass to get working right but I setup the same thing for a friend and she hasn't had any problems.
