    Congested Network? Or what? help me!

    Im having problems with my server. It a 10mbps unmetered server, and it pings 1000+. I cannot get into ftp, and when I do, after 30 tries, it just drops the connection.

    I looked at a MRTG graph and its says Im using 9.9mbps.

    When I stop httpd, ping goes back to 50ms, and ftping works just fine.

    Can these problems be caused by network congestion, and an upgrade to 20mbps should fix the problem?

    sounds like it could be a saturated port.
    an upgrade to 20mbps would help

    Its set to full.... but I have no idea what that means. Whats the difference between half and full?

    I did order an upgrade, but it won't happen until the sales guy approves it (on monday).

    PS. Steven, I was afk. Sorry.

    Half duplex means data can only be transfered in one direction at a time. Full duplex allows for data to flow in both directions.

    you can install mod_bandwidth for apache set it around 7-8mb sure it would help.

    but if your pushing 9.9 and the max is 10, looks like you have to upgrade your port.

    Although 10 Mbps Uplink is slow, there are many variables involved in the speed including your server, ISP connection home/office, and your DC network. Upgrade your server to 100 Mbps Uplink and you'll see the difference. Good luck!
