I am having a problem uploading to 2 web sites I maintain at Web.Com
Small files, 30kb or less go ok but I get an error Web,.com calls a
time out when the file gets much larger than that .Web says it is not
their problem. It fails on multiple PCs here using multiple FTP
clients using Century Link DSL but dial up works OK. It also works if
I take my lap top anywhere else, even the DSL customer right next
door. I have plugged the DSL modem right into the Dmark with no joy.
All other internet operations are OK including Emailing a large file
or posting it on usenet.
Speed tests range from 10m down/ 700k up to about a 3d of that using
different test sites. DSLreports seems to be the slowest.
Any ideas?
I am thinking it has to be something with the actual wire going to the
big silver box up the street that passes as a "central office" or the
IP address I am using. Nothing else is common.
Is there an easy to force an IP address change?
Is it possible that I am just getting so many line errors that the FTP
server gives up? Maybe the "fast" test sites only count bits, not good
packets. Are errors logged anywhere?


I had a problem similar to this and solved it by cloning the MAC address
of the ethernet connection of a computer with normal FTP function into
my router. For some reason, my ISP gave me an IP address that restored
normal FTP function.

That is why I was wondering how I could get the ISP to just give me a
new IP. I know it changes now and then anyway, I suppose when the
lease expires


If your router supports this, go to a computer that allows normal FTP
access, press the Windows and "R" keys simultaneously, type
"control netconnections" into the "Open" box and click "OK".
Double-click the internet connection, then click "Details" and write
down the "Physical Address". Then enter this address into your router.
You may have to restart the computer for the change to take effect.
