Hi,
I apologise in advance for such a lengthy post but I'm pretty frustrated and just can't seem to find a solution and
apparently have the cable techs boggled as well :|
A few weeks ago, my d/l and u/l speed seemed to have sudenyl died and I can't imagine why. I called my service provider
(cable) and went through the usual stuff such as unplugging the power to the modem, going over various settings (tcp/ip) and
so on, but still nothing. Over the past few weeks ... computer has been looked over by qualified techs,
they connected my comp to their cable and all was perfect, had a new fan and net card put in and have freshly formated.
Going through a hub as well (other comp has a seperate ip) tried various things while bypassing the hub completely, and have
brought the computer up from downstairs, plugged it in tried all the same stuff and exact same problems. Cable techs have
been out, completely rewired, and replaced my modem. At this point, after the comp is booted (after being shut off for some
time), I'm able to visit some sites, but pages seldom fully load without my refreshing a few times or having to save the link,
reboot, then trying again. Downloading is of course impossible, lucky if it's 3-4kbs for the first 5 seconds,
then drops/times out I've had a hard time registering and posting here, so I apologise again if it's resulted in a
double post. I've also no firewall and my OS is Windows Me. Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated as this
has been going on for more then two weeks and is making me nuts
Thanks
Kaylee
