    You know what, I had the exact same problem with one of their Atom servers in 2013. They eventually "solved" it the same way they did with you - after hours of network debugging on my part. I wonder why they still assign these servers to their customers when they know for at least three years that those NICs are crap.

    Yeah I kinda figured they'd just recirculate the board rather than toss/RMA/etc it which is why I posted that, you can only expect so much of a budget host I suppose. The symptoms didn't really show themselves until you put some active load on the NIC so someone just using it for a small personal site or something likely wouldn't notice is what I assume they are thinking. Whether that is wrong or what I suppose is up to the individual, but it took me a day or so of ticketing back and forth with them to get them to actually look at the NIC.

    Do you think the NIC was just "recycled" to another server or that his HDD was switched? Wouldn't it take more support time in the long run?

    They're $10 servers, but still...

    I presume the Atoms are dell optiplex FX160s or similar. A new mobo is quite cheap around $16-25. The Nics are soldered on but a good "fix" would be to buy a PCI Ethernet

    The reason they still use those boards is that they dont care.

    Hmm dont have HT and have half as much disk BUT double RAM

  • SetsuraSetsura Member

    What mobos are you guys getting for your atoms? I have an Intel D945GCLF2 now.

    You can check your model withlshw -C bus -short the first one should be your mobo model under description:

    H/W path Device Class Description /0 bus D945GCLF2 /0/100/1d bus NM10/ICH7 Family USB UHCI Controller #1 /0/100/1d.1 bus NM10/ICH7 Family USB UHCI Controller #2 /0/100/1d.2 bus NM10/ICH7 Family USB UHCI Controller #3 /0/100/1d.3 bus NM10/ICH7 Family USB UHCI Controller #4 /0/100/1d.7 bus NM10/ICH7 Family USB2 EHCI Controller /0/100/1f.3 bus NM10/ICH7 Family SMBus Controller

    Well, no idea if this also can be caused by a faulty Network card:

    Had Packetloss as fuck, and a Load of 150, the box died like 5 days ago completely on network.
    Running this config on other boxes without issues.

    Can't reach the site.... It got geLowendtalkzz.

  • MattKCMattKC Member

    Grabbed one late Sat night, nothing really special delivered, just +50 GB on the drive. Good for testing only and at $10 cant really beat that.

    Out of stock again.

    Everyone happy with their servers?

  • k0nslk0nsl Member

    They're fine for the price. The only thing I have noticed is that networking 'stops working' randomly and is only 'solved' by rebooting the boxes.

    Why do people keep posting that the servers are out of stock and in stock?

  • tehdantehdan Member

    Not displeased. My Core2duo does not have vt-x has anyone got one that does?

  • jvnadrjvnadr Member

    Those servers are fine, for the price. I host a dozen of non-critical websites there for the last 3 months in a core2quad. It is running proxmox. The uptime is from my last reboot

    You may want to read my posts here and here if you have realtek boards, I've been stable ever since I got them to swap me to a different board that has an Intel NIC.

  • k0nslk0nsl Member

    Thanks! However, I've got BCM5722 in all of 'em. So that's not it :/

    Hm, weird then, so far I've not noticed any issues as far as network goes after a board swap. Maybe my monitoring isn't as thorough as it could be though.

    hmmm, well, i'll be damned. it says 100mbit unmetered on their website, but i guess it's actually burstable 1gbit?

    It could be the lazy way of saying you have a 33TB limit in a way for folks to get an overage charge. However their sales department could better clarify this.
