We really need more specific information to help you. What sort of computers (OS?) are you running? What brand/model router have you got? What are you using to connect the computers to the router? What is the modem connected using?

I don't mean to be rude, but it is like taking your car to the mechanic and only saying it has four wheels and doesn't move - its almost impossible for anyone to know what your problem is other than just guessing.

ok umm. its a dlink broadband router. got the unwired modem plugged into it. one computer has a network card, and other has ethernet card. n both rplugged into te router. so sometiems the net works, but occassionally , ther are really long drop outs, n its not coz of the isp, coz iv never had this prob. n the dlink broadband router is plugged into the comptuter with the ethernet card or port wateva

How is the modem connected to the router? USB? CAT5?

Does the network (ie, your computers accessing each other) work when the Internet connection is not working?

 

[fatmuscle]

you've called tech support?

Yeah, if the problem is specific to unwired modem it is prolly best to call tech support.

 

[m123]

nah its not a modem problem. the modem is connected by cat5. ther not networked , jst to share the same net. like now its working fine, but then again, could jst not work

do u know each computer's network settings?

i'm assuming dhcp

 

[m123]

i dont kno what that means, how would i check these things?

 

[jm1234567890]

i dont kno what that means, how would i check these things?

if you don't know, it is prolly dhcp

right click on my netowrk places -> properties -> right click LAN -> propertise -> tcp/ip -> properties

tell us what is there.

 

[m123]

ther is nothing under tci ip

 

[fatmuscle]

did u highlight 'TCP/IP' and click the buttons property?

or you can simply double click TCP/IP

 

[m123]

thers nothing ther, im looking under my internet connection but.

Check your firewall. I set up a wireless network and it was fucking me around for ages (dropping out a lot) and I finally realised it was because of my firewall.

I disabled it and never had any probs after.

 

[m123]

yeh um, i go to the dlinki page or wateva, that my installation guide told me to go, n thers thing that says about that dchp or wateva. well it seems wen my net cuts off, i go ther, n click dhcp renew, n it works again. how can i make it stop?

 

[m123]

seems thers a fricken "Remaining Lease Time" which seems to go down. perhaps wen it goes to zero, i hav to renew the dhcp? how do i make it not count down then?

thnks
