It is in a way but last time i thought was router now am connected directley to the modem and it seems to be getting worse.
maybe bad modem, see if somebody you know has same 1 so can try your modem on their system to see if problem follows or not!
The modem works on my dads pc perfectley but that as fixed in network adaptor mine does but the light does not work on that 1 just my pci card wat seemed fine till thursday since then i formated my hard drive 4 times thinking was virs or somat
So you are using a PCI Netwrok card? What model is your modem, going off your other thread, it is a Webstar. Is this a cable modem, and connected up ONLY via the ethernet connection? Have you installed the Network card into the PCI slot and does it show up in device manager without a yellow exclamation mark? Have you then loaded up the software for your modem from the cd you should have received with it? Have you configured the software to use your ethernet card for internet connection - ie via the wizards etc?
done all off them i have formated my harddrive before and had no problems normy i can just click and off it goes again but now it takes ages for a page to open or does not load right or page van not be displayed the same modem works on fine on my dads pc and did on mine till thursday then it went like it has so i formatted my harddrive it did't fix it so i took it out checked for dust etc nothing there reinserted it and it still does not work right
I have to be honest here, but it sounds like a setup problem, but you are not providing any details we can work with. If you could be a little more specific with EXACTLY what you have done step by step then we may be able to pinpoint the problem, rather than just throwing around ideas. What O/S are you using? Amount of memory installed? Browser software using eg Internet explorer etc? What Network card, and has it been installed successfully (yellow exclamation mark in device manager?)? What model is your modem? Is this a cable modem, and connected up ONLY via the ethernet connection? Have you configured the software to use your ethernet card for internet connection - ie via the wizards etc? How did you actually configure it on your dads machine? Any specific information you can provide will aid us in trying to resolve it........
LMAO......shows what I know........ Good to hear you solved it, shame about the graphics, shall have a look at the thread and see what you did..............
