Network Latency
At my father-in-laws. Just updated his ISP (Road Runner/Time Warner) plan to 20Mbs down / 2 Mbs up.
MBP 2010, wireless, is getting the right speeds with much lower latency.
The PPC is getting >10Mbs down but is close to 2Mbs up. (Just ran the RR speed test on the PPC and got <4Mbs down...)
Latency on the PPC is in the three digits... just got 226ms.
PPC is 800Mhz, PowerMac3,5 with 1GB RAM, 74GB hd with 60GB's free.
Just tried the RR speed test on the PPC again and got 11down/2up with 142ms latency.
I know the throughput is going to vary, but the latency seems way too high.
Here are the network settings in System Preferences:
TCP/IP:
IPv4 is using DHCP and getting address from router
IPv6 is turned off
DNS Servers:
209.18.47.61 (assume these are RR DNS servers)
209.18.47.62
Search Domains: ec.rr.com
WINS:
Just has Netbios name
Appletalk:
Inactive
802.1X:
totally blank
Proxies:
Nothing chosen
Bypass proxy settings for these hosts and domains: *.local, 169.254/16
Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV) is checked
Ethernet:
Configure: Automatically
Speed: 100baseTX
Duplex: full-duplex, flow-control
MTU: Standard (1500)
TIA for any and all suggestions!
