Title: Routerstats since this morning
Post by: renluop on November 12, 2011, 10:53:18 PM

During yesterday I did some system tidying and new driver downloading. After that Routerstats continued to work. However when I started RS after booting the computer neither Summary or Bitloading was working and has not been all day. AFAICS nothing seems odd.

Suggestions? :)

You could try going to the RS configuration screen, reset to the defaults and then set it up afresh.  :hmm:

Trying to avoid the hassle ;) and find what I did , as can't think what it could have been. :-\

If it doesn't come back to you soon, couldn't you just copy the configuration file (routerstats.ini ?? -- I'm not too sure) somewhere safe and then start afresh? The ini file (if that is what is present) is a text file and could be used for reference when reconfiguring RS . . .  :-\

I think it's an idiosyncrasy of Routerstats that manifests itself periodically.

I have the same occur for no apparent reason so I would discount any changes that you've made.

Perhaps John Owen can enlighten us  :)

Edit : just remembered that I queried it with John a while ago, here's his answer :

It sometimes depends on how long RouterStats has been running for - the
Thomson router seems to dislike long telnet sessions.  I'm blaming the
router because it doesn't happen with the Netgear.

I worked around it at one time by forcing RouterStats to disconnect and
reconnect once very couple of hours which seemed to cure it.  Ideally,
RouterStats would login, get the data and logout every sample but the
Thomson insists on logging every login and the log would soon be huge.

I'll have another look at it when I get a bit of spare time but spare time
is a bit rare at the moment!

@renluop are you using a Thomson router by any chance ?

The Thomson router only allows two open telnet sessions. If the sessions haven't been closed properly, when routerstats was closed, then this could be preventing access.
Try telneting from a command prompt, if there's two sessions still open it will give the option to close one session.

Powered off router last night and now RS is OK.
