So it would probably be best to ask what did you do to break it, and then what did you do to fix it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starship_troopers Posted November 30, 2006 Author CID Share Posted November 30, 2006 well i was at school and it was storming so someone (dont know for sure who did it) unplugged everything to my pc and i have a new router so im not sure if that was teh point where it messed up from being unplugged for about a half hour. and to get it working i called cableone again and they reset my modem. and i am about to log in wirelessly and check my laptop's wireless speed. but yeah. thats what happened. lol sorry i forgot to include this in my original post. thanks for the quick reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted November 30, 2006 CID Share Posted November 30, 2006 if was it the modem that was not connecting or the router/computer? if it was the modem then its not your problem its your ISP's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starship_troopers Posted November 30, 2006 Author CID Share Posted November 30, 2006 it was the modem. then after i called them and they "fixed" it i couldnt get it past my router. when i tried to log into windows live messenger it said it failed on the DNS and the key ports. but now that i got that fixed by calling them again, its my speed that is suffering. everything else works fine....now....except the speeds being so low Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
