i have a really weird problem. I have 3 mobo's in my basement, 2 have 1 5830 each and the other has 4 5830's. They're all Win7 x64 2gb ddr3 ram or higher except the one is a low quality P.O.S. with 2gb ddr2 ram and a via 1.7 cpu lol. Anyways... my rig with the 4 5830's is causing problems with my internet. I get timeouts every few mins but when I disconnect the rig the internet works flawlessly. Anybody ever experience this or have ideas how to resolve it?

how is your 5830 rig connected to the internet? are those 3 rigs connected to one switch then to a wired/wireless router, or they all connected to the router directly?

Although the actual bandwidth required for mining is minimal, the fact that requests go out simultaneously tends to stress some cheap routers. If you are using cgminer to mine with, try the --net-delay option.

Also check the machine for malware or rootkits. you might something using all your bandwidth.

What did you mean "every few mins"? it's not a continuous outage, and can recover on its own?

#1 modem w/ wifi from ISP to netgear 16 port switch. the rigs are wired.
#2 i'll add the --net-delay command line, what does it do exactly?
#3 already ran anti-virus and malwarebytes
#4 i can be using the internet just fine, everything loads as it should, then BAM!! timeouts like crazy for a period of time and eventually recovers on it's own

The "modem w/ wifi" from ISP is a modem (DSL?) and router combo which tend to be the aboslute worst.
Some router's can't handle the high # of connections that mining uses.

modem w/ wifi is a Motorola Surfboard SBG901, cable internet. I even upgraded to the 10mb bandwidth that my isp offered

Where do you access Internet from? from the rigs, or another computer. If another computer, is it connected to the same 16 port switch?
When you have Internet time out issue, were all rigs working fine or also timed out?

The problem seems to be with the modem and integrated access point. what OS are you using for the rigs?

If you are really using a 16 port hub, you may want to try a switch instead: http://www.darron.net/network/secondpage.htmlThe hub multiples your traffic by 16 times and it can get bad quickly. Also, next time when the problem happens, you may want to disconnect the other two rigs, and see if you get same result.

well i originally had my internet going from the modem to a netgear wireless router (i disabled the wifi) and was having the same problem. maybe i should go back to it now that i've added the --net-delay command line?
