connection problem
Posted: Wed Nov 21, 2007 11:21 pm
Here's a little problem that has me a little stumped, anyone that can offer up any ideas gets a big line of smilies!!!
I have been having my connection cut out on me the last couple of days, very randomly. Sometimes it's fine, then I cannot connect.
I am on a high speed cable connection. (normaly around 16meg). I have bypassed my router and have it connected directly to my ethernet port.
I've done a series of ping tests under DOS and it seems I'm having data loss somewhere.
See below for the tests (I did many more but this is to show what is happening).
I'm pretty sure there isn't a problem with my OS and I don't have any hardware problems that I know of. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
