[quote:grep 60600:MV8xOTc3NzlfMzc4Mjk1Ml8zMDZGNzNBNQ==] The problem is this: Your machine is running Windows Firewall and your son's is not. Or it could be that only one of those machines is running a software firewall. You're behind a router. Most routers, by default, read the M.A.C. address on both machines and apportion packet control on a synchronous basis. If only one machine has a software firewall, you get netbios problems. Solution: Install the SAME software firewall on both machines with EXACTLY the same newtwork settings OR make sure that NEITHER machines have one. In addition, make sure that your network services for both machines are compatible (for XP and XP Pro). [/quote]
Original Message
The thing is... my internet connection has been cutting off since yesterday...It stays on for 5 minutes, then cuts off. I have 1 mac and 2 PCs connected to my telewell modem/DSL. I've found that it's my sons PC that's causing this, and I think it's a virus. When I disconnect his network cable the problem disappears...but my son doesn't take kindly to this. He has run adaware and come up with nothing. He also claims that running several spy detection programs fucks up his pc (excuse my french).
Help! I'm PC retarded.
Suggestions anyone? I'll buy you a beer
