External packet loss from LAN clients through 857w

Hi,

I have a problem I can't resolve

Description:

Internet usage is very slow when initially opening a site from LAN clients.  Once  established it is OK.  If I ping a site from an LAN client by either host name or IP  address it takes about 5 seconds, drops the first packet then is fine  after that.  if I ping it again immediately  afterwards it is fine.  But if i wait 2 minutes and try again the problem returns.  So I would conclude that seeing it is the same  whether I use Host name or IP address it is not a DNS issue.

Pinging from the router produces no fault at all. 

ping 4.2.2.1

ping 4.2.2.1 source bvi1

ping yahoo.com

ping yahoo.com source bvi1

ping 192.168.1.10 source Dialer0 (internal server)

All perfect

I can ping the router internal and external interface or any internal  ip or hostname from the LAN with no delay or hesitation so it is not  a switch interface or network card problem.

Some sort of NAT issue maybe?  I really am lost.

Can someone who know more than me (most people) have a look at the config below and tell me if that is where the problem lies.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Config (sanitised) follows...

No problem.

I see your OP dated 6/17, how it can have been there 3 days? May be you edited later, so the newer date? In any case I had not seen it, otherwise likely would have responded.

I tried entering 12.4(15)T14 in the search box above and the third result is about the bug you've also found. Agree that is with the hindsight of knowing it's a buggy version.

I think if if remove the unnecessary inspect, class map and firewall from you config you will notice a dramatic increase in performances.

Solved it!!!!

Version 12.4(15)T14 which was supplied with the router has a bug.   "Packet stream interruption with NAT".  I have back graded to  T13 and Hey presto!  All good.
The red herring was that the DG834 i  tried had a faulty port giving similar symptoms and the other 857w i  tried had the same firmware.

I have to say, this was posted on 3 different forums.  A general network, a windows, and here.  This is the only forum that no one bothered responding on.  Interesting it turned out to be a Cisco problem...

Actually, if you look at the threads in this forum, most questions are answered satisfactorily.

Moreover the problem you reported is well know and would have turned up with a search.

Maybe next time be a bit more realistic about the reaction time of people that helps your for free when you come here compelled and probably will never be seen again.

Paolo,

Some facts may have been useful to you before your response to my observations.

  • Yes most posts are answered.  It's a good site.
  • I searched this site extensively prior to posting.
  • I searched the internet for days before posting
  • I have been here hundreds of times and will be again as a Cisco Reseller ans support tech (CCNA)
  • As I am not an expert such as you obviously are, there is little point in me offering help to people when I don't have the necessary experience to solve the problem.  Many posts on here I don't even understand.  Needless posts have little value, so I don't bother.
  • I posted the solution for the benifit of others as the problem is obviously not well known.  Or if it so well known why did no one here know of it.
  • Even now a google search for the exact problem (Now it is understood with the benifit of hindsite) reveals no results relating to the same problem. Even using the name of the bug report as the google search.
  • It only took you an hour to see and respond to my last post.  Yet the question was untouched for 3 days prior.
  • I am not "Complaining about the service" here. It is free and appreciated.

No problem.

Thanks for the consructive critisism Paolo. 

It is greatly appreciated. 

Now to show my ignorance...

  • when I take out the "ip inspect Inspect_Out out" from the di0 int I get no NAT traffic flow.  Why is that?
  • do you mean the "ip access-class Internet_Inbound in" class map?
  • Do you mean the Inspect firewall.

All comments greatfully recieved.  And thanks again for the assistance.

Actually I will close this thread and start a new one as it is unrelated really.  Thanks for the help Paolo.

These commands only slow down the router and do not add any real security, that you have already by virtue of NAT.

Thank you for the nice rating and good luck!
