I am using redhat 9 and we recently contracted SBC Yahoo DSL about 2 months ago. It only worked for 5 days from the 15 Nov to the 20th. Before and after then, every time I tried to download a file it wouldn't download past the first few kilobytes. the farthest I got was trying to download GNU Win II cd for windows, I got to 10.8 megabytes, then it just stopped. I tried wget and mozilla, same problem. Sometimes when I load a web page, the progress bar almost completes but never finishes and I have to reload the web page.
The modem has built in PPPoE client built into the modem. I had no trouble getting this modem to work with Redhat, since it was recognized bootup through eth0 via DHCP to get a IP (it is a dynamic IP).
The strange thing about this is that I can upload a 16MB file to my e-mail address but I can't download the same file. It seems as if upload is unaffected.
When I try to listen to streaming media (realplayer 10, listening to BBC or C-Span), it plays for the first 2 to 4 minutes, then it stops.
I have 1.5 megabits downstream and 384 kilobits upstream. I'm going to try to slow down the downstream to 384 kilobits to see if it fixes my downloading problems.
What I find strange is that I can download 10.8 megabytes without any probelm of this one file where other files only allow a few kilobytes to download.
I want to call a technician to come to the house, but I don't have the money to do so for another several months.
Note: I live in an apartment
the technician readout of my modem is as follows:
