Keep Losing Internet Connection
Im stumped here and need some major help. I have DSL with a wireless
network. I have my main computer hard wired to the router(Belkin) and two wireless computers. After connecting for approx 1-2 minutes I can no longer get web pages to dispaly. Keep getting times out. If I reboot the computer(hardwired), router and modem I can connect for another minute or so then the same happens. If I turn the hard wired computer off the wireless ones work fine. But once I turn the main computer on it all stops working again. I have even gone so far as to completely remove the router and hook the modem directly to the computer. Same thing happens. When I go the the modem or router home page it says Im connected though I contected my phone company, they say its the router(even when not using the router), I contacted Belkin they say its the phone company. I really need some help here, Ive tried everything I can think of. I use WinXP, IE6, Firefox. Any Help would be greatly apprecieated Thanks John |

That gets the tech supt rep a ticket towards his/her quota in ~30 seconds, or so. Now, if you're connecting to your network, and then getting bumped off somehow, it's likely your ISP, or you could have a virus/trojan/malware/booger/loose connection. Try this: Freeware > IP2 v1.03 > http://keir.net It will give you a readout of your LAN IP address and your WAN IP address, or tell you pretty much if you're connected to your router, and then if your router is connected to your ISP... Good place to start. Then post back with some results if your tech-supt is not listening. -- If you're dyslexic: Welcome to the beginning of this article! |
Re: Keep Losing Internet Connection
Thanks for the reply. Im not really sure whats going on. I spent 2 hrs
on the phone with my ISP's tech support. We took the router out of the picture and hooked my computer directly to the modem. The computer sees the moden and I am able to get to the modem home page and change the setting. Did all the ping tests and they work fine. It seem thatm Im connected to the internet just cant go any where. FInally as a last resort I took a second computer and hooked it up to the modem, and it works great. Its some setting with my main computer(Dell). Ive been on hold for over an hour. So far I have run norton,spyblaster, window washer, adaware and a few other fix it programs. No problems found. I tried reinstalling IE6(winxp) and restoring the defaults. Tried wthe winsoxk fix. Still no luck. Im at my wits end here. If my wifes work stuff was not ton the computer, Id just take a hammer to it - Id FEEL a whole lot better. Any other suggestions?

Re: Keep Losing Internet Connection
I played this game with optonline for three weeks before the stooped over
and decided it MIGHT be alright for them to come check the outside connection, they hooked up? They came and got the splitter off the wet grass and told me this might be what was wrong? I wonder why a woman's suggestion is so often turned down? No problems since and no charges either. -- Betsy http://sailuk420.tripod.com "Bucky Breeder" <not.here.today@nd.gone.fishing.tomorrow.bye> wrote in message news:44f1ae29$0$30791$c3e8da3@news.astraweb.com... > jrv331@gmail.com selectively relayed in > news:1156688695.600066.319090@m73g2000cwd.googlegr oups.com: > >> Im stumped here and need some major help.
