Alright, I have two computers here, One in my bedroom, one in the living room, The cable modem is in my bedroom with the router. The CPU in here is running xp and the living room cpu is running 2000 pro.
I have everything hooked up, the living room cpu seems to have no problems connecting, my bedroom one however will connect only at periods at a time, it will connect to icq/msn, but then I can't browse the web, or I can't do anything at all. I tried resetting everything, I had some suggestions on another board that should have worked but didn't. I was curious if I have to setup something on my bedroom cpu. All cords are brand new, I switched them, as well as put them in different ports, I installed and ran the install guide for the router...
My isp told me to turn everything off and then back on, which is their dumbass suggestion for everything, which didn't help. I also read that it could be a virus, so I ran a certain program by Mcafee meant for this purpose, and it was clean, as well I have Norton running all day.
If you had this problem, or know of a solution, that would be great, I've been pissed at this for two days now, I just want it up and running steady, I'm tired of disconnecting in the middle of conversations with clients or people I'm trying to get work to.
P.S. I'm not very hardware savvy, setting up a router seemed simple enough, but I guess not.
I just thought of this, I'm running ZoneAlarm as a cpu firewall program, would that effect this in anyway?
Thanks in advance.
