WHEN THE NETWORK/INTERNET
RUNS VERY SLOW:
First: check to see if one or more people are viewing videos, downloading files, etc.

Second: Call CBeyond 1-866-424-5100 and ask the support person to check the system and see what PC or PCs are bogging the system down. They can email you a report of a few minutes view that looks like the report below:

Notice the entry that is highlighted. The number of bytes transferred in three minutes is way out of line with all the other entries. Sometimes, you may see several of these giant numbers. The next thing to do is to look up which PC/User that line represents. That is easy. Most of the time the key number to look at is in the Destination column. In the example above, the PC that could be causing the problem is 10.0.1.7. The table below will tell you who that belongs to:
 

 

PC/USER TABLE

10.0.1.2  Computer at [RECEPTIONIST] @ Ext 203
 
10.0.1.4  Computer @ Ext 200
 
10.0.1.5  Computer @ Ext 209
 
10.0.1.7  Computer @  Ext 202
 
10.0.1.8  Computer @  Ext 208
 
10.0.1.9  Computer @  Ext 206
 
10.0.1.12 Computer @  Ext 213
 
10.0.1.29 Computer @  Ext 211
 
10.0.1.45 Computer @  Ext 204

72.16.234.4  Joel's PC [also centralcourier.net] Sales office East Wall
 
72.16.234.5  Ron's/Sales Office South Wall


Once you know where to look. Go to that PC causing the problem and see if anything is being run. If there is no evidence that the unit is doing anything or anything unusual, BOOT IT. This should work. If the same PC causes problems again, call CBeyond again and tell them the problem. You may have to ask for a higher tier support person.

As a last resort, ask CBeyond to block the IP Address to which the PC is connected. If you do that, it will stop the flow of data, so, just watch that the unit doesn't crash or produce errors. If it does, then call CBeyond back get their opinion about unblocking the IP Address.
