browsing the internet is so annoying, and i have cable!

[apzak]

whenever i'm surfing the web pages will only load halfway. This is with all websites so it's not their server. I could be on nico and only the "nico" on the top left will load and the banner add along with a few (but not all) buttons like "home" "forum" "user cp" and i might be missing the rest. I'll have to hit refresh 3-5 times before the webpage loads and doesnt freeze.(the browser and computer don't actually freeze, just the data transfer) This is sooo annoying and I'm begining to like 56k more. what's up and how can i fix it? also see if this problem may be related to my other tread "error code 3 on aim".. god this is annoying. My labtop is hooked up to a network via wireless network card and the network is hooked up to optimum online cable.

Are you getting good reception with your wireless card? Have you tried a physical connection into the router to see if thats the problem? If its not that you should format and reinstall only the basics, Disable anything you dont need. Your computer will run so much faster.

Bah Johns a computer n00b don't listen to him:rolleyes. No but seriously, he has a good point, although for some people reformatting and reinstalling is just unfeasible...

Have u tried resetting the cable modem? I have a surf board cable modem and if I goto http://192.168.100.1 I have access to the cable configuration, you can reset it there and clear all current MAC Address stored, probley will be down for a while, also if you upto and know, great way to spoof a MAC addy, ARP posioning anyone??(thats your dark tip for today)

BTW, have u scanned for spyware lately?

stupid surfboards, mine likes to be a bastard too, I just unplug the power and leave it out for like 10 secs then plug it back up and sometimes that helps

[TrueSlide]

That works too Mr1der

[MainEvent212]

yeah do that, and the same thign w/ your router if you have one...it usually helps mine...

depends, if your modem is showing signal (lights are all on) then dont bother w/ the modem and jus go to the router, if it's hte modem...call ur provider if the unplug thing dosent work

o_o My friends system at work was down today due to the sun radiation thing. Don't know if that plays a factor in your connection though

If this happened before, then ignore what I said above.
