undesiredprophet

I would like to thank you for the help. I called up comcast and had a guy come over to fix the problem. He said i needed a new barrel for the cable. I was pleased with the connection i was getting: :::..

I'm using the cable_normal_2k setting.

after a whole lot of frustration, I have finally been able to run the tests from broadbandreports.com.

so far not good. My internet connection keeps shutting down every 5 minutes which doesn't allow me to run the test because it says it gets cancelled. Im going to try this another time. Thanks for the advice, I'll reply soon with results.

Hi, Im in a bit of a jam when trying to go out to the internet. Ive been having a problem with my internet connection since the beginning of April. Let me tell you what happens... When I get on the computer the internet seems sluggish, almost like its holding back something which leads me to believe something is wrong with my comcast cable modem (I have a Terayon TJ615 modem and an SMC EZ Card PCI 10 Adapter...if this helps). When I play online games on my computer, they never work because of my Packet Loss (never had this problem before April). When i did a network diagnostics test from Windows XP it says under my IP address Sent:4 Recieved:3 Lost:1 (Loss: %25) I tried fixing my internet through different methods: unplugging my power cable and disconnecting the internet cable from the wall (leaving it like this for hours; still no help), using a different internet cable to plug into my modem, using a different ethernet wire, hooking up my router, and seeing if my network adapter was scratched (couldn't be a problem with the network adapter anyways because it worked before April). I have also noticed on my modem, when the internet shuts off, the Online LED and the Line LED blinks non-stop, then all of the LEDs blink and who knows when they become solid again. Ive kept a log of when I can use the internet, hope this helps. :::..

If someone could give me some advice, it would be very much appreciated.
