Need help getting network back connected online

Re: Need help getting network back connected online

I'M SO GETTING FED UP WITH THIS!

It just happened again! I had to waste 15 minutes trying to get online after my friend reported that his connection wasn't working for a while (it was working while I was out). Listening to streaming radio doesn't work, so I'm assuming that its the connection going into the house. Hawaiian Telcom, you better have people staffed tomorrow or else all hell will break loose (aka I'll be switching to RR).

To test your line you can use this program. Remember to disconnect the router.

Is the disconnects happening with the new router too ?

Yep. And thanks for the link. I'll try it.

I know this is going to sound stupid, but it did happen to me..
My westell would not sync at all.As it turned out, the wire
I had between the wall and the modem was faulty. I've
also had a cross over cable between the router and modem
fail too...

Well, everything seems to be working now after I had a talk with my friend on seeing how to migrate from DSL to cable. But if the line does go down, then I'll try the program, then make new cables.

EDIT: Within the time I last posted, I went down a few times. So, I employed PING and tried to find a program to do it automatically, but I remembered I can set it to go on forever (who needs seperate programs). The result? no downtime for the last five minutes! Looks like I have to keep the connection alive, because according to a meter, if my downloads go under 5kb/s, then the connection will just stop working.
