[ NNSquad ] How do I detect connection disruption by my IAP?
I have Comcast as my Internet access provider. I've been sending large
messages regularly via Gmail (almost daily for a couple of years). I sent a
message without problem Monday through Wednesday.
This morning I tried to send a message and it failed five times. The
attachment is large, but a little smaller than yesterday. The error was:
Oops... a server error occurred and your email was not sent. (#001) (Similar
error if I try to "save" the message.)
The five send failures and save failure were with Firefox, my standard
browser. Then I tried from IE and the message was sent. Then it failed again
from Firefox. (Chance? Coincidence? Time-outs somewhere? I'd love to
construct a formal experiment with multiple computers, different browsers and
add-ons, and stop-watch controlled timing intervals. Unfortunately, I have a
life.)
How can I tell whether there is a problem with Google today, some issue "out
on the Internet", a Firefox problem, or whether Comcast is messing with my
connections?
Are there any Windows XP tools to monitor my connections (either inside or out
of Firefox) to see if there was a forced close?
Thanks,
B.J.
