rig causing internet problems???

[juggalodarkclow]

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.

or simply a bad NIC

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.

Care to look it up in the README?

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

not really but i'll do it anyway

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?

[juggalodarkclow]

i access the internet from my desktop and laptop which are both upstairs and connect via wifi.

when i have timeouts all my wifi connected devices experience it and my rigs downstairs have connection problems thru cgminer

to clarify:
1. rigs are wired to the 16 netgear port switch
2. the 16 port switch is wired to the modem
correct?

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

My fault, it's a hub but it comes from modem to hub

Ok, let's try to clear it up:

1. rigs are wired to a 16 netgear port hub
2. the 16 port hub is wired to the modem
correct?

[bitcool]

If you are really using a 16 port hub, you may want to try a switch instead:

The 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?
