Next time this happens (slow upload), clone the MAC address of your PC onto your router, then power cycle the router so it gets a new IP address."

I have a problem with Desktops connected to a router, in that there is no upload, only download.
Laptops connected to the same unit by Wireless do not have this problem.

What doesn't upload?
You can't get anything downloading without sending a request, which is an upload of a small amount of data.

1230994 2011-09-14 06:21:00 You mean there's no upload from your PC's to the router?

They might have their IP settings wrong. If your router has DHCP enabled, it automatically gives your PC an IP address when it connects to it.
If your pc has them pre set, regardless of DHCP, it will try to use those details. If they're incorrect or incomplete, you'll get no/incomplete connectivity.

I hate trying to understand broken english when it's spoken. When it's written as it's spoken, it's a whole other kettle of fish.

1230995 2011-09-14 08:14:00 The comment is perfectly understandable - it's not broken English. The content of what the person is asking is questionable though.

1) Your PC and router are supposed to have different IP addresss
2) I'm not sure what cloning your MAC address is supposed to achieve - this sort of thing is typically done in situations where whatever your router is connected to is restricting access based on MAC address, and the MAC address it has on record is the one which belongs to your PC.

Das nächste Mal in diesem Fall (langsame Upload), die MAC-Adresse von Ihrem PC auf Ihrem Router, dann schalten Sie den Router so eine neue IP-Adresse erhält. "

Ich habe ein Problem mit Desktops mit einem Router verbunden, dass es keinen upload, nur als Download.
Laptops, die mit demselben Gerät per Funk zu tun haben dieses Problem nicht.


Any help ????

1230997 2011-09-14 09:44:00 I was so waiting for someone to do that............ Grimy (3041)
1230998 2011-09-14 12:17:00 Very funny :-)
When I do a speed test on the two desktops I get 13.6Mbps down, & 0Mbps Up, Zilch!
When I try to upload files to a website it makes a connection and transfers one small file then stops.
Browsers are normal, Email is normal.

Two Laptops connected to the router by Wireless do not have any problems, showing an upload speed of .86Mbps and transferring files smoothly. This has been happening for about 3 days.

1230999 2011-09-14 20:43:00 Sorry mzee ... couldn't resist !

But at least it you have described the problem in terms that someone might be able to understand more easily and therefore, be able to post a solution. Unfortunately I don't know enough about the technicalities to help, but do understand the problem now !

1231000 2011-09-14 22:19:00 could be:
faulty LAN cabling
faulty hub/switch
faulty ports on the router
issues with AV or 3rd party firewall etc etc on the PC's (quite likely)
etc (Im sure there are more possiblities)

Id try another router 1st, If you can borrow one .

Can the PC's send email via outlook?? with attachments?
Can the PC's send email via Webmail ?? with attachments?
Both of these would prove uploads were actually working

Both Desktops will send email using 'Free Agent' & 'Thunderbird'
I have changed the cables and tried other ports.
Have tried disabling the Firewalls.
Have tried disabling 'Microsoft Security'.
It seems that only FTP and Speed tests are affected.

I will ask Orcon to send me another Genius as they can't help. I am waiting for an Email from the manufacturers in Australia (BoB Lite support@iinet.net.au).
