|
 |
This has been bothering me for about a month now, and I really cannot find the cause for it. So I'll leave it to you guys to think about and see if you can find a solution...
In general my "surfing" activities (like browsing through web pages and such) work pretty well, BUT...
1. Certain websites (such as nfohump, google, twitter, and outlook.com) will periodically stop working. Chrome will throw an error like "page could not be found" or "timed out".
1b. If I go to google it will start trying to go there, and it will keep trying to get to the page, nothing happens, I open one, two, three, five more pages to google and try to browse there it won't work. Then after like 10 seconds all of them get to google all at the same time, and it might work properly after that, or I will be able to type in something in google and it won't actually search for whatever I type in (autocomplete won't work) and then sometimes the previous error comes back (hitting search will hit a "loading" loop but then time out)
2. Certain images will not load on the first try visiting a page, but if I hit reload it will likely work
3. YouTube has become a nightmare, pretty much every clip will freeze after 10 seconds, and sometimes it will play all the way through if I reload the same page (by clicking refresh).
4. Certain websites will work 10 times out of 10, no problems. For instance, Vimeo will work every time, it will not stop, or buffer or anything. Some other streaming websites will act just like YouTube.
5. Usenet will work 10 times out of 10, no slow speeds or "freezes", downloading via the web from certain websites won't work, the download will freeze after some time, and then downloading it again will sometimes work, sometimes not.
This erratic behaviour is beginning to drive me nuts, I don't think it's my router because my other computer does not have this issue. I don't think it's Chrome (?) because I have Chrome on my second computer and it works there. I don't think it's the network card or the cable, if it were wouldn't ALL sites behave erratically?
The only idea I have is that it is software related, but when I tried using Waterfox, the same thing happens with that. So "software firewall issue" someone would say, well, it is turned off, since my router has the firewall option.
The only difference between my main computer and my second computer (the one that works) is that my main computer is running on 1Gbit/s using Cat5E cables.
I've even installed Wireshark to try and trace the traffic, but I've not been able to draw any conclusions based on that. So I literally have no clue to why it is behaving this way.
edit: Seems like a lot of my troubles stem from port 80-usage.
Yes, yes I'm back.
Somewhat.
