my dsl won't work
 

i know this isn't exactly the right place but i figured someone might be able to help me out, heres the break down. so i come back home to find my computer off, there was a thunderstorm so i restart, try and connect, and it says no answer, it does this once in a while but usually works after a couple trys but after like 10 still nothing, i also notice the adsl light flashing, not sure if that means anything but does anyone know what might be wrong and how i could fix this? i can still connect with my 56k. thanks to anyone who responds, 56k sucks! lol

did you try unplugging the modem and plugging it back in....if that doesnt work then its likely the service is down....you did say there was a thunderstorm I think.

maybe you ISP is having tech problems? try calling them? do you know anyone in your area with DSL? or with the same company.. try to see if theirs is working too

it could be down, sorry that happens every once in a while

unplug everything even the modem from the wall jack for 2 mins ..
then start everything up one by one
first dsl modem .. then computer ..
then plug the modem into the wall jack.. it should sync up .. and you'll be all set..

pee on it

also if you have a router unplug that too ..

Go to you telco box outside and pull the card wait about 30 seconds then reinstall. Wait for the orange LED light to start a rapid blink and go green. If it does that you have sync and should then have the same steady green diode on your broadband modem.

If not call your broadband provider and ask a tech to do a remote box reset.

One of the two procedures will usually bring it back to life.

What kind of modem is it?. My 3 com ,you have to unplug the power cord and push in the reset for 20 seconds, release the button as you plug the power cord back into it.
I have to do this atl east 3 times a month

well i tried the unplugging thing with no luck, as for the telcom card thing, im not even sure if i have one as they never installed anything outside when i got dsl. and the modem is a Gnet BB0050, i would just call my isp but they are a lame ass local company and no one is there after 9 :mad:

sucks to be you, chances are their down, change comps, go with someone with 24/7 support, wich ISP DOESN'T have 24/7 support yet? with all the stupid surfers, im surprised some are still doing that 9-5 stuff

i live in hicksville, other than Bell Sympatico (which sucks) this is the only isp that offers dsl to my area.

unplug power then plug back in
