The problem I'm having is a huge increase in 'in session' disconnections
after my upgrade to 3.8.2. I rebooted (power cycled) the PM3 the other
night and some of the problems went away. Some of it was modem types;
Global Village modems still disconnect randomly for sure.
Part of it seems to be speed. The only thing I've seen that might be a
relationship is the list of people that get disconnected are people whose
connections have retrained up. For example, one of my technicians uses a
Mac, and he randomly disconnected 5 of the last 20 times he's been on. Of
the times he stayed on, his speed usuall stayed constant (about 44000). Of
the times he got bumped, his speed at log in was 44000+-2000 and his end
speed was consistently 50666. Unfortunately, this isn't always true - I
have LOTS of customers that retrain up whose sessions disconnect normally.
It sounds like a retraining issue (now that the rest of the problems went
away) but I don't know if that helps, or hurts. Retraining has been a
sticky issue here in Omaha for a long time. The logs show the user
disconnected at 'user request', which tells me precisely zip. I've turned
on the extended reporting features now, so I might get a little more
information.
It's mostly wild speculation, but is it possible that after retraining some
counter (IPCP keep-alive, for example) is not getting reset or maybe is
getting turned off during the retrain and not getting tuened back on?
