[thePh@r@oh]

today my internet connection has been acting up. i can try to go to a sie and get an error page but if i refresh it goes right to it. i am connected by a router. i tried to do a dhcp renew but that didnt help?

have you scanned for adware? or spyware?

[thePh@r@oh]

yea cleaned it all out...but the deal is my roomys computer is doing the exact same thing

[thePh@r@oh]

new developement now only IE is screwing up....it appears that mozilla works fine

edit: nope it appears that just some sites wont work...for instance i can come here but not google. I can go to americas army but not voyeurmods. and thats with IE or MO

I've noticed that there have been a few sites down in the last couple of days. Try accessing Google. If you can make it there, you should be good to go and the problem lies somewhere outside your control.

Cheers!

Many of the sites I had problems with yesterday and last night have come back online. What ever it is, I think the problem is being solved for us.

Cheers!

hopefully this will be resolved shortly

[thePh@r@oh]

[thePh@r@oh]

is the conection going through a router?

I was having the same problem once, intermitent conection problems, turns out my router was malfunctioning...

[thePh@r@oh]

dont worry about it i found the culprit the cable going into the WAN port was bad...DUH!!!! i always forget to check the easiest stuff first

[thePh@r@oh]
