Maximum IP Sessions
After I'd had adsl for a while, I noticed that I had a problem viewing
certain sites.
~ Pages would be slow to load, sometimes only partial downloading or
even not at all.
~ Images would frequently not all be downloaded, particularly on more
graphic intensive sites.
Then I also noticed that whilst trying to view these sites the following
symptoms would also occur :-
~ ICQ would temporary disconnect and reconnect
~ FTP Client would disconnect.
I couldn't seem to find a reason for this, and I spent a lot of time
trying all sorts of things such as changing RWin and MTU settings,
borrowing another router, checking my ISP's routing, proxying through
a Zen connection, and it was only when I borrowed another router from
chris, that I realised it was the SAR causing my problems.
Below is a list of some of the settings you can change to try and
stop this behaviour and resolve the problem.
I first wrote this article in 2004, since then I've found Item 3) usually fixes the problem.
