Troubleshooting a Mysterious Networking Issue in Windows 11 (NOT!)

Networking issues can be frustrating and time-consuming to troubleshoot. This was just one of my many experiences troubleshooting an interesting network issue that took me a while to solve.

The Problem: One day, I noticed that my computer’s network connection was acting up. The network interface card (NIC) was sending packets just fine, but it was receiving very few packets, and eventually, it would stop receiving packets altogether. At first, I suspected that the issue happened after I installed the Insider Preview of Windows 11, so I reset Windows. I updated the Realtek NIC driver to the latest version, hoping that it might help. The problem persisted.

The Troubleshooting: Next, I decided to reinstall Windows 11 from scratch, thinking that it might fix the issue. The problem still persisted even after the fresh install. Now I knew that the issue was likely to be hardware.

I boot into Linux from a USB drive. To my surprise, the issue persisted even in Linux. This ruled out any software or driver issues with Windows.

The Solution: I started to suspect that the issue might be with my Wi-Fi access point. I have a TP-Link Deco 6E mesh Wi-Fi system, and one of the access points acts as the main router. I decided to swap the problematic access point with another one, and to my relief, the issue disappeared instantly. My NIC was now sending and receiving packets normally, and I was back online.

Conclusion: Networking issues can be tricky to troubleshoot, and it’s easy to get lost in a sea of software and driver issues. Sometimes, the problem might not even be with your computer at all, but with your network equipment. If you’re experiencing a similar networking issue, try ruling out all software and driver issues first, and then focus on your network equipment. Hopefully, my experience will save you some time and frustration.

Use yum to manage your packages and stop using rpm!

I hate seeing the RPMDB altered message when doing yum updates!

Transaction Summary

Warning: RPMDB altered outside of yum.

For that reason, I tell sysadmins when installing or upgrading rpms to use:

yum -y install <rpm file>

and to use

yum -y remove <rpm name>

to remove the rpm you want.

What’s NonRootPortBinding? I just want to run my web server on port 443!

In the Unix world, privileged ports are 1-1024. As a non-root user, you’re not allowed to start a service and listen on them.

So, how do web servers work then? They usually use ports 80 and 443.

There are a few ways around this. The most common is that the process is started as root and then downgraded.

If you want to start a process without ever having root access though, the way to do it is with NonRootPortBinding. You can find information about it using Apache here.

Basically, for any process you want to start on a port under 1025, you can run:

setcap cap_net_bind_service=+ep <path to binary> 

Following that, you can confirm that you’ve set the correct permission by running:

getcap <path to binary> 

It should return with: cap_net_bind_service+ep

When you patch or update the binary, you will need to rerun the setcap command.

Hope this helps!

Using 2 ISPs at home at the same time! Tomato MultiWAN – works great! (Video)

Why do you really need this? When Shibby first put out the firmware with MultiWAN support, I questioned why someone would pay for 2 service providers. Too much bandwidth utilization? If you need more bandwidth, just upgrade your line with your current ISP. It would be cheaper than getting a new line!

Do you need reliability? When you work from home and need to be connected to the Internet for your work and it’s not available, that’s when you might look into a solution like this one! I have Comcast Business. Does that help? No, not really when the problems is with the infrastructure and not a misconfiguration or something internal. It just means that when you call, you talk to someone a little more competent and you can get a person quicker than going through the phone system. You can have someone come on-site a little faster too. That said, the service is the same as that of all other consumers. After a few rains and a couple of Comcast outages (not exactly outages, but huge degradations in service), I started to think about getting a second provider. Luckily, in San Francisco, we have a few options for service providers here. I happen to be lucky enough to have access to 2 different cable providers, Comcast and Wave Broadband (formerly Astound). I used Astound before. It was not bad. My experience was not nearly as bad as what the Yelp reviews say. I’ve now had them for a couple of weeks and still have the same opinion. They seem to be just fine.

So, moving onto the implementation. As you can see from the screenshot, Shibby makes it easy! First configuration the VLAN. It points to a link for where to do it – in advanced settings. You can look at the next screenshot to see an example of the VLAN being set up. I’m using LAN port 1 for the 2nd WAN port.

In this screen however, You might notice my “Load Balance Weight”. The problem with my service providers is that Comcast gives me unlimited bandwidth. Wave Broadband does not. Because of this, I want more connections to go out of the first WAN link and Shibby gives us a couple of ways to do it. First is with “Load Balance Weight”. I’m just setting the 1st link to 2 and 2nd WAN link to 1. You can play with the numbers to try finding your desired balance.

Another place to do load balancing is by pinning a particular host to a particular WAN link. For example, I have some traffic I want out of 1 WAN link and some out of another. This way, I can tell my highest traffic hosts to go through WAN1 while some others through WAN2.

Here’s a status window to show that I have both WANs connected.

Lastly, you can see from different searches of what’s my IP, that both WAN links are being utilized.

Why I choose TomatoUSB over DD-WRT

I recently bought a Netgear Nighthawk R7000 for my home router. I figured it would be a good time to get a new router, so I was debating between this on and the ASUS (RT-AC68U). I chose the Nighthawk purely based on price. It was 10% off at Target. 🙂 When I shop for a router, I normally try to get open-source. The reason for this is so that I can hack it as I enjoy doing things like that and I like to use features that are not designed the original product. Why companies build routers and put their own firmware on it is beside me. I really wonder why they don’t just use the open-source stuff since it’s so good. If you look at my blog, you’ll see that I have run DD-WRT on my older routers as well.

The reason I decided to go with Tomato instead of DD-WRT is because of a couple of features that I like in Tomato. The first feature is the QOS transfer rates.

Screen Shot 2014-06-11 at 10.59.05 PM

I haven’t found where I can easily do this in DD-WRT. The reason I like this feature is because I can instantly know who is using up my bandwidth.

Another feature I like that unfortunately does not work on this router yet is A feature where I could see all of the URLs that I’ve visited and searches that I’ve done. I hope that Shibby fixes this in the 121 build.

Screen Shot 2014-06-11 at 11.01.41 PM

These are the two major reasons why I decided to use Tomato over DD-WRT. I’ve also run into issues with using the wireless bridge feature in DD-WRT where Tomato worked very easily.

I would love for some DD-WRT hardcore fans to debate with me. I’ve used DD-WRT firmware for a long time and just switched to Tomato very recently. The main reason I switched to Tomato was back in the days when I had the ASUS RT-N16 router. DD-WRT had Wi-Fi that kept dropping off almost daily and I had to find something better and Tomato was the answer at the time.

Please post your comments! Thanks!

P.S. Here‘s a good link on how to set up DD-WRT with a VPN.

 

 

Drobo connected to Asus router running TomatoUSB

Simple – Don’t do it! This was from a couple of years ago when running TomatoUSB on an ASUS RT-N16 router. DD-WRT had issues where the wifi would drop off periodically. I found that TomatoUSB (Shibby or Toastman) were both very good alternatives. So good that I’ve since moved onto Tomato for almost all of my routers.

Anyways, some of the issues I ran into were:

Value too large for defined data type …

Sep 24 00:01:08 unknown daemon.err smbd[1539]: disk_free: sys_fsusage() failed.
Error was : Value too large for defined data type
Sep 24 00:01:08 unknown daemon.err smbd[1539]: disk_free: sys_fsusage() failed.

devfs 62.0M 0 62.0M 0% /dev
df: /tmp/mnt/Monster: Value too large for defined data type

Along with this, the CPU on that router just couldn’t handle NTFS-3G well – CPU utilization was going through the roof on writes. I think reads were okay.

It would be better to just build a cheap NAS.

Debian Linux apt-get package management cheat sheet

Posted By LinuxTitli On May 9, 2005 @ 12:21 pm In Debian Linux, Howto, Linux, Sys admin, Tips, Ubuntu Linux | 6 Comments

[1]

Both Debian and Ubuntu Linux provides a number of package management tools. This article summaries package management command along with it usage and examples for you.

(1) apt-get : APT is acronym for Advanced Package Tool. It supports installing packages over internet (ftp or http). You can also upgrade all packages in single operations, which makes it even more attractive.

(2) dpkg : Debian packaging tool which can be use to install, query, uninstall packages.

(3) Gui tools:

You can also try GUI based or high level interface to the Debian GNU/Linux package system. Following list summaries them:
(1) aptitude [2]: It is a text-based interface to the Debian GNU/Linux package system.
(2) synaptic [3]: GUI front end for APT

Red hat Linux package names generally end in .rpml similarly Debian package names end in .deb, for example:
apache_1.3.31-6_i386.deb

apache : Package name
1.3.31-6 : Version number
i386 : Hardware Platform on which this package will run (i386 == intel x86 based system)
.deb : Extension that suggest it is a Debian package

Remember whenever I refer .deb file it signifies complete file name, and whenever I refer package name it must be first part of .deb file. For example when I refer to package sudo it means sudo only and not the .deb file i.e. sudo_1.6.7p5-2_i386.deb. However do not worry you can find out complete debian package list with the following command:

apt-cache search {package-name}

apt-get add a new package

Add a new package called samba
Syntax: apt-get install {package-name}

# apt-get install samba

apt-get remove the package called samba but keep the configuration files

Syntax: apt-get remove {package-name}

# apt-get remove samba

apt-get remove (erase) package and configuration file

Syntax: apt-get –purge remove {package-name}

# apt-get --purge remove samba

apt-get Update (upgrade) package

Syntax: apt-get upgrade

To upgrade individual package called sudo, enter:
# apt-get install sudo

apt-get display available software updates

Following command will display the list of all available upgrades (updates) using -u option, if you decided to upgrade all of the shown packages just hit ‘y’

# apt-get upgrade samba

However if you just wish to upgrade individual package then use apt-get command and it will take care of rest of your worries:
Syntax: apt-get install {package-name}

dpkg command to get package information such as description of package, version etc.

Syntax: dpkg –info {.deb-package-name}

# dpkg --info sudo_1.6.7p5-2_i386.deb | less

List all installed packages

Syntax: dpkg -l

# dpkg -l

To list individual package try such as apache

# dpkg -l apache

You can also use this command to see (verify) if package sudo is install or not (note that if package is installed then it displays package name along with small description):

# dpkg -l | grep -i 'sudo'

To list packages related to the apache:

# dpkg -l '*apache*'

List files provided (or owned) by the installed package (for example what files are provided by the installed samba package)
Syntax: dpkg -L {package-name}

# dpkg -L samba

(H) List files provided (or owned) by the package (for example what files are provided by the uninstalled sudo package)

Syntax: dpkg –contents {.deb-package-name}

# dpkg --contents sudo_1.6.7p5-2_i386.deb

Find, what package owns the file /bin/netstat?

Syntax: dpkg -S {/path/to/file}

# dpkg -S /bin/netstat

Search for package or package description

Some times you don’t know package name but aware of some keywords to search the package. Once you got package name you can install it using apt-get -i {package-name} command:
Syntax: apt-cache search “Text-to-search”

Find out all the Debian package which can be used for Intrusion Detection

# apt-cache search "Intrusion Detection"

Find out all sniffer packages

# apt-cache search sniffer

Find out if Debian package is installed or not (status)

Syntax: dpkg -s {package-name} | grep Status

# dpkg -s samba| grep Status

List ach dependency a package has…

Display a listing of each dependency a package has and all the possible other packages that can fulfill that dependency. You hardly use this command as apt-get does decent job fulfill all package dependencies.

Syntax: apt-cache depends package

Display dependencies for lsof and mysql-server packages:

# apt-cache depends lsof
# apt-cache depends mysql-server

How to Flash an AirLink101 AR430w router with DD-WRT firmware

1. Connect cable to WAN port and power on router

Download contents from: http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/down.php?path=downloads%2Frelease+candidates%2FDD-WRT+v24+RC7%2FAtheros+WiSoc%2FAirlink+101+AR430W/

2. Set your host IP to 192.168.20.80 (Don’t bother with any values in DNS Server/Alternate DNS)
3. ping -t 192.168.20.81
4. Run PuTTY/PuttyTel (YOU MUST USE PUTTY – SecureCRT and the regular Windows telnet DON’T WORK!) and set port to 9000 with Telnet option. – on the 2nd ping, hit open to connect to the router on 192.168.20.81. If you miss this, you may need to reset the router and try again.
You’ll see:
You’ll probably get these messages:
/releases/svn.porsche/redboot-ar231x/redboot-ar231x/redboot_cobra/ecos/packages/devs/eth/mips/ar531x/current/src/ae531xecos.c#390:ae531x_send AHB ERROR: AR531X_DEBUG_ERROR = 00000145
/releases/svn.porsche/redboot-ar231x/redboot-ar231x/redboot_cobra/ecos/packages/devs/eth/mips/ar531x/current/src/ae531xecos.c#393:ae531x_send AHB ERROR status_4 = 00000145

It’s safe to ignore them.

5. Started TtftpSrv in background.

In the screen, run:
load ap61.ram
go

6. change host IP to 192.168.1.23 and then change your command prompt window to run: “ping -t 192.168.1.1”

7. with putty, telnet to 192.168.1.1 9000
You’l see: DD-WRT>

Unfortunately, after this, it’s a little shaky as to what I did. If you do all of these steps in this order, it should work.

Linux memory usage …

I’m not sure if this is right, so this could be conjecture, wild coincidence, or just total bullshit.

To find out how much memory you really need in a Linux machine, here’s my guess at how to do it. The OS will use about 90-95% of your memory whether or not you need it or not.

So, I figured, the memory that’s not used by applications is cache, so here’s my reasoning ….
when running “vmstat 5 5” I get:

alton@chunli:~$ vmstat 5 5
procs ———–memory———- —swap– —–io—- –system– —-cpu—-
r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id wa
0 0 104 40868 97536 211036 0 0 6 20 53 130 3 5 93 0
0 0 104 40868 97540 211032 0 0 0 14 103 184 0 0 100 0

0 0 104 40748 97556 211084 0 0 0 33 109 213 0 1 99 0

I have ~200mb for cache, which means my applications probably use the rest – 1gb – 200mb = 800mb. I could probably get away with just running on 800mb opposed to 1gb, right?

One thing I don’t want to do is swap.

If I’m wrong, please let me know! Thanks.
