Title: How can I tell if I am on Hostlink?
Post by: JB on Nov 20, 2009, 16:52:24

Just back from 5 weeks in Spain and back here the trusty 2700 has remained solidly connected to IDNet for all of that time. Can I tell from a traceroute or ping if I am being routed that way now, or would I be better disconnecting and then reconnecting. On Home Max by the way.

Thanks.

Tracert to www.idnet.net, JB, though if you've remained connected, you're probably still on a central.

Here you go Rik:-

C:\>tracert www.idnet.com

Tracing route to www.idnet.com [212.69.36.10]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

Maybe I'm the only one left :blush:

Probably not. The first hop is likely to be 51 or 99-102 if you're on the hostlink.

:iagree:

You'll need to drop the PPP session to get onto the new hostlink. :)

Thanks both.

Edit: Have now dropped the PPP session and back up with the first hop IP ending in 51.

My PPP must have been connected for the 5 weeks while I was away.
