Ya gotta love Colorado. Just when I was sitting down to access an image we have running of the CTF 05 system, ready to practice more on reversing those services, and a fairly intense storm hits here in Denver. First indication I had that the storm was getting worse was when I lost satellite signal for my TV. No great loss, since there is only crap, and more crap to choose from on daytime television; and I could watch what I had saved in the “Now Playing” area. Something for background noise while coding n whatnot.
Then I lost my Internet connection (DSL). I went down to the “wiring closet” and saw that the DSL modem/router had lost connection to the CO (central office), but it re-established connection while I stood there. Thinking the problem had resolved itself, I went back upstairs to get back to work, but I was still unable to connect to any resources on the Internet! So I restarted everything, all network devices and computers in question. Just to see if that clears the problem.
Time to get back to basics, I broke out ping and traceroute. ☺ I tested connectivity to my router, and had no problems, no drops, excellent ping times (of course...it’s a LAN connection). But when I tested connectivity to my gateway (ISP’s router), the problem becomes apparent:
--- ip.addr.removed ping statistics ---
876 packets transmitted, 733 packets received, 16% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 36.014/45.059/276.710/25.305 ms
*sarcasm* Awesome...and intermittent problem. My favorite! */sarcasm*
I went back down to the wiring closet to check out the DSL modem, and lo and behold it had lost connection to the C.O. It resync’d while I stood there (again), and a few minutes later the process repeated. *BOING* There goes the Internet connection. Kinda difficult to maintain an ssh connection or three when your Internet bounces like that!
I’ll be back later, hopefully the Internet connection and satellite connections return to stability. Unlike the rest of the household. LOL

5:30pm: Internet and satellite TV back. w00t.
