Need a little computer HELP! please

OF COURSE RESETTING YOUR ROUTER IS SOUND ADVICE


But its the firs thing i tried doing, 6 months ago when it stoped working

i tried it again the day after, the day after, the day after

then i put it away for a month, reformated, tried again, again and again and again

Not to mention i have to reset the router everyday anyways for my moms shitty ass laptop to connect


SO MY FRIEND that is NOT the case!

i know i'm able to somewhat connect though, it can kind of load webpages but not really, it can't connect long enough to download or update anything

when i'm downloading it will start at like 2mb a second for 1 second then jump down to 0.2kb/s then just give me a error

well i'm going to try a couple of your ping idea's

i'll be right back with the results

u know OP for shits and giggles take the router out of the equation. Plug your computer into the modem directly and reboot it (or release / renew IP address) this will do two things.

one - 'ipconfig' will tell you your IP that you want
two - you will eliminate it from being part of the problem

Is your ISP throttling your bandwidth because of overuse?

^^ my thought after reading OP.

Spend $20 on a PCI-E NIC.

Problem likely solved.

One component on a motherboard can go out and not affect the other components.


I've bought around 7 different motherboards for my own personal use at one time or another since '99. Only had issues with 2 of them - in both cases the on-board NIC went tits up while the rest of the components worked fine.

"The computer guy down the streets says its probably something to do with my network card, but i'm pretty sure it's built into my motherboard and my motherboard still works fine"

Srsly, OP, listen to yourself. The NIC on the board is connected directly to the southbridge (or even northbridge on some newer INtel chipsets) just like an add-on card would be once it's installed into a bridge slot. If an add-on card fails, does it cause everything it's connected to to fail?

Been there and it works

if they weren't all built into the motherboard that would be a great idea sir

thats something to consider, or a double NAT / packet sniff (like some kind of intrusion protection built into newer routers) I would take the router out of the equation and test the modem, nic and a network card... start there.

ahahah thanks, i was waiting for you :D but i'm still going to go ping these

OP, listen to Taz for sure.
This happened to me 2 months ago. I reinstalled IE and it fixed itself up.

Good luck.

Maybe you just need a new router/modem. I got mine replaced by my cable provider, works like a breeze now.

once i find out my ip how do i ping it again, i can't find that post i think someone edited it

i have

ipconfig

ping -t www.google.ca


i know its not the modem but i'll do it now to prove it to myself to come back and tell you guys brb

that will tell you google.ca 's IP not yours :0


also IF you take my advise and try the modem , be advised your gonna piss it off. if you cant connect again, REBOOT the modem

tust us :) if its a VoIP modem you also need to take the battery out of it

alright when i pinged google

ping -t www.google.ca bytes 32 time 53ms TTL=46

when i pinged my IP threw

IPCONFIG Bytes 32 Time<1ms TTL=128


and same deal threw modem, takes forever....

when i got downstairs though the webpage had finally loaded that i tried to load hours ago

My modem router is a all in one, its the fastest wifi modem / router that rogers offers.

o.0

How long have you had it?

well that figures. is it Motorola at least?

Motorola Modems have a login to look at your line noise and singnal strength

no offense but i'm 90 percent sure it has notting to do with

a) internet
b) router
c) internet explores
d) spyware viruses
e) ISP, DNS, IP problems

i know what i'm doing SOME WHAT, i had 4 other computers, i got 98 percent in visual animation I'm a beast in 3D Max so i have some basic knowledge in networking like resetting your router when you can't connect, common bois, i even play xbox everyday, i know how to deal with common connection errors

do you have any other computer presently? (not the Xbox its not really a fair test) anything iPad, kindle what ever to test "internet speed" right now side by side with the computer in question ?

the motherbord is a BUS for all components so if others work fine others can still have died. So your friend probly is right anyway and its network card buy a new.

3 months, i was experience the internet connections problems with my other computer before i switched them, i'm 100 percent sure that isn't the issue because i was hoping it would fix the issue lol

its this one

i dont think its Motorola but i'[ll go check

There's a little hole in your router for resetting, stick
a pencil in it keep it there for about 30 secs, it resets
the router to the original settings, could do the trick.

yeah it could, but i do that everyday anyways for my moms laptop so why didn't it fix it the other 150 days i've done it?

It sounds like your port 80 is getting worn out. Sometimes after a few months of use a network card will need to be replaced because the ports wear out.

If things work fine on port 443 or port 8080, but not on port 80, then I'd recommend getting out the network card, and cleaning it. You can actually put it in the dishwasher, but don't use soap. Let it dry completely, then see if that helps.

Don't buy any of the port reconditioning fluid that the tech people recommend, becuase that never works for me. Its best to just replace the card.

Sometimes I found that the cable can be worn out too. It actually looses enough electrons to not function any more. Sometimes it can be recharged by plugging both ends into different wall sockets, but you have to take them apart and it can be a mess to put it back together. So probably its better to buy a new cable too. But don't buy the recharge kit that they try to sell you.

Hope this helps.

[link to help.ee.co.uk]

It might be a duplex mismatch, since you network card does seem to work. Right-click your network card > properties > configure > advanced tab and look for "speed and duplex"...if it's set for "auto negotiation" (if not, try that one) try setting it to half or full...just try different settings.

yeah i think i'm going to take this road

i mean i even tried things like some super anti virus fucken spyware boot disks and shit, holy crap did i waste time on that shit
