Datablocks on a Cable Modem?????

[ducktape]

well if you goto datablocks.net and go thru the forums. Jons ip is http://www.mountaincable.net if you whois datablocks.net it shows an ip of 24.215.1.20. I have road runner and my ip is 24.169.45.30. I have the understanding that ip addresses that start with 24 belong to road runner when I whoised the ip at http://arin.net/cgi-bin/whois.pl it shows the ip is registered to mountain cable.

here is the whois output

Mountain Cablevision LTD. (NETBLK-MTNCABLE-1) MTNCABLE-1
24.215.0.0 - 24.215.31.255
Mountain Cablevision LTD. (NETBLK-MNTN-HAHE1) MNTN-HAHE1
24.215.1.0 - 24.215.1.255

Huh???

Go look at datablocks Behind the scenes and see what john says there.

Back in 1998 when I was 16, I worked at a computer store for the summer till I got fired for opening an ISP called Student Networks (the computer store was also an ISP)

I had the best prices in the city at the time! $14.95/month for Unlimited access.
Things were going really well, I was getting tons of calls and new signups all the time.. Until my cable company found out.. :P

You see, I was running the whole ISP off my residential cable modem! hehehe once they found out, they shut me down! :P


---------------

he is saying that he runned a ISP in 96 duh!!!!

and he had a cable modem then


another thing he might of registered datablocks on a cable and that

when he posts he is using a cable moemd on his HOME comp not the servers


ohhh well

hehehe

He said that he ran an isp with a cable modem. The ip address for his webserver is 24.215.1.20 which belongs to the cable company therefore he is running the server of his cable connection. I have a site there and when i trace my site the ip is the same. That must mean that a cable connection is being used. If he did it before he'd do it again.

The cable company here, Cox@Home, slowed down the upload speed on their system because people were trying to run web servers on there. I think the u/l speed is now a third of the d/l speed.

Wondered why datablocks.net was so slow.

[usr]

I didn't notice Datablocks was slow. But I guess it's easy to pick on a host that has lasted longer than yours... all attempts at it, too.

[Technics]

I'm not picking on him at all. I think what John offers is good. But trying to connect to sites on his server from the uk is very slow. I also find this with can-host.com who also use the mountaincable network.

I wonder how do you even run a isp with your own connection? I have a DSL so maybe I can run my own isp service?

[Chicken]

I believe this was discussed before. He said that he was using that cable company as the colo provider. Cable companies (so I've heard), sometimes offer some decent colo rates, and you can't assume that the servers are being run off a home cable connection just because of an IP lookup that shows a cable provider.

You can look up many hosts and see that their IP block belongs to an ISP that offers 56K dialup, Cable, ISDN, T1, T3, etc., and there isn't really a way to tell which.

also it could have 30 or 40 cable connections coming in you never know it could be cheaper than a t-1 or t-3

[Epgs]

In reply to johhny. I think it is difficult because you need to have them call your location then route them through your connection and have enought phone lines to handle two or more calls at once. A proxy service is like a local isp (you don't call over phones you kinda call over your network)

Cable modem?

I have my server co-located at my ISP.. witch is my cable company..

I have a cable modem, but that is at home..

I dont think my cable company would allow me to host a site like datablocks from home.. hehe

The Datablocks IP range is 24.215.1.17 - 24.215.1.30

traceroute to those Ip's.. then traceroute to my home IP of 24.215.9.253 if you dont beleive me.. hehe

At home I have a upload cap of 15K so I dont think Datablocks would work here.. lol

Plus I have a 2 gig/ month limit on my traffic at home..

lol

Hmmm... anyone interested in }:8)@Home, you can all hop on my connection and share that 14 kbs upload limit ;)... only one problem... does anyone mind ringing Australia for their Internet Access? :)

Lawyers: Supermoo is joking, he'd never ever do that, never ever ;)

[ama]

I live in Australia. What do you want to know?

[usr]

I don't think he was asking anything... but I don't speak cow, so maybe I missed something. :\
