Doomsday

well,saved up some cash and bought a DI-524 Router{using the ethernet connections} cause i had enough of the problems with the 604{it would be on,but yet you couldn't get online unless you yanked the AC Plug out and it use to take 10-15 minutes to turn on} using Van's 4000 Settings :::..

i think there might be a problem with the modem. try and get another modem.if the problem is still the same,try another router. possible you might have to call up the ISP and have someone do a line check.

do you have this modem connected using USB or Ethernet?

well,my dad went to staples today to help a friend pickup a new laptop.they seem to have a wireless linksys router on the clearance table for $20 bucks guess i'll head up there on monday and check it out.

same router i got{older model},maybe try to upgrade the firmware

yep,the new version at least for me i see better download/upload speeds.

i just got back from staples.found a linksys wired 4 port router{the BEFSR41} for $60 bucks.i didn't get it cause 1.expensive. 2.the bloody line in that store is nuts. they also had an old one model way in the back of the shelf.it was the same model number,but it didn't have the Cisco Systems Logo on it and had 3 seperate bars on it like Act/Link/Speed or something above those lines. i was gonna try my luck and try to talk them into giving me that one for cheap,but i couldn't find anyone.

actually,i just tried to use Omega's Radeon Drivers set.there was an option for a softmod,so i tried it and got arifacts in games and lockups.

yesterday.

in this latest sunday paper i got,best buy had the Radeon AGP or PCI version of the card for $130 bucks. i was thinking of getting it,but i think i'll stick with my 9500 Pro{and no,it can't be modded into a 9700 sadly}

Yes,it was turned off for the tests{Bitdefender} Opera{the latest one} in stock form. yes,scanned for viruses and spyware and i'm clean

i just found the paper that has listed what we have: we have the gold package which is 4mb and 384 upload.my dad wants to move-up to the plantium package which is 5mb and 512 upload cause that includes new channels that him and my mom would like to have like they use to have back in NYC.

no,it's not. they have packages{gold/silver and platinum}i think they go in that order or differant,i forgot what package i have.

i'll give it a go,i have backups on windows XP home stock TCP/IP settings.

yeah.it's cable internet/service for northeast P.A. had to wait over a month to get an appointment,then a few months down the line i had problems with speed and random drops of signal.the lines outside were good then they came in to find my signal just from the wall to the cable modem{which is on the other side of the room} went from 5 dBmv to 0dBmv causing the modem to drop the signal and reset.

i seem to remember my dad signing up for 2meg and 384 upload i think. Trace:

for my issue with my computer rebooting for no reason was the crappy 300watt PSU that came with my case. replaced with a Vantec Ion 400 no problems. do the easy stuff first like clean the computer.it could be overheating due to alot of dust trapped in the PSU>
