Hello,
I have just installed 2 x Catalyst 1900's (12 Port) into my home network and connected them to an ADSL Modem/Router(512/128 ADSL). The Router is connected to one of the 10Mb ports. Now the internet works fine, to a degree. Basically all copmuters on the network can ping the router, and the internet(I'm using a class C private 192.168.0.X addressing scheme using DHCP from the router) and all pings have about <10ms latency to the router). Now all computers can successfully access the internet, but the pages will load to about 75% and then usually time out. I decieded to disconnect all other workstations from the network except for my own computer and the router, and it is still incredably slow and timing out. I decided to use my connection to my FTP server in the US as a benchmark for the connection. I would be able to upload at about 30K/s which is fine, but when I tried to download something the download started at 5K/s and slowly went down to 0.01K/s which is completely unacceptable, this has been the case for more than a week and there are no outages on my ADSL connection. I tried pinging my ISP's webpage and recivied a ping of 20ms...which is fine also. So I tried plugging the ADSL router straight into my computer without the network. Well...it ran at least 100x faster. I was uploading at the same speed(must be capped), but downloads were at 150K/s from my FTP(which is quite acceptable!!). I'm currently studying Network Engineering, and have "some" knowledge of the setup of the equipment, but this is quality equipment and even though the ports are 10Mb(except uplinks, which are 100Mb) the ADSL connection is onnly 512Kb downstream. I've had a suggestion from a fellow student to disable RIP on the switches, I did that, but there was no improvement. Has anyone come across a problem similar, or have any suggestions as or a solution?
Thanks,
Nathan
