Internet Issue

!The White Wolf · Apr 13, 2007, 08:08 PM

My internet connection is through a cable modem. For some reason for the last couple of days, my internet has been randomly disconnecting itself. I have no idea how to fix it, and I can usually fix little problems such as these.

Would anyone know what the problem is, and how may I resolve it?

No, it is everyone once in a while. I don't think I have a virus, either.

Spin Da Ish, yeah.. I'm not about to go buy another modem. The one I have is perfectly fine. It just loses its connection every now and then and I don't know how to get it to stop.

It could be that you just need to restart your modem, about a week ago my internet conection stop it only alowed a few Packages to be send.
So i jused the internet problem solver from Microsoft and it told me turn my modem of, then put it on again and wait 3 minutes.
It workt even beter than it dit before that, proberly once in a while your modem just needs a restart.

I would say to reset your modem (should be a button on the back...look for a little hole to poke a needle in). If you still get the same issue change out your cable (the cat5/6 one) that goes from your modem to your pc. If you use a router disconnect from it and connect directly to your pc...I would also go to Cnet and try their internet speed clocker and see what it says...if you aren't getting a fast connection or dropping packets like crazy then contact your ISP.

I reset my modem every now and then, and I usually do not get any problems afterwards. But if this happens again, I will see to it that I try all of the offers you gave. Thank You. And thank you all who gave more information on my internet problem. Your help was very much appreciated.

Just 2 more cents: when you reset (or power cycle) your modem, do your router too (if you have one). I always unplug both of mine for 3-5 minutes, then reattach modem, wait for green status, then reattach the router. Barring service problems (check with your ISP, too) that usually works.

My internet has a mind of its own. Everyday when I get home from school, it doesn't work. It starts to work around evening; six pm till late. And it doesn't work in the morning, either. It's the modem. I just want to know why it does that. The company is Motorola - well that's the print on the modem.
