Does this ever happened to you ?
 

1) You can hear your favorite online radio (once you are connected) and it runs smoothly
2) Icq works
3) Msn works
4) FTP works

But you cannot access sites. Anykind of sites for let's say 5 mins, then bang everything's working fine again. But 1/2/3/4/ still working !!!!!

High speed unlimited connection here.
Contacted my ISP, they say everything's running fine on thier end.

Cleared my temporary internet files
Scan the PC for Viruses and Adware/Malware
Turned off the PC/Modem for one minute, rebooted

Used Firefox and Explorer and it's still doing the same thing shit.

And when it gets back again, it flies !! Wow ! The radio station never ends also in the downtime.


Now that's fucking weird !

Any ideas ?
Thanks

check your anti virus... must only 1 firewall is activated.. it happened to me.. when i turned on both firewall for my AV and windows firewall ...

Yes, reboot your router once in a while.

Do you run Norton security ? Sounds like maybe a firewall issue

Nahhh i flushed Norton a while ago, man it was slowing down my PC so much.

Now i use Adware and Avast.
I'll check out the firewall thingo.
Thanks, shoot more if you have anymore ideas

happens to me too sometimes...i just unplug the router and restart the computer and that usually fixes it...

Shit !!! Ahhhhhhhhhhh i just saw your from Edmonton

Are you using Sympatico ?

If i try my old dial up access from Globetrotter, it works fine !

it's driving me crazy arghhhhh

damn that thing happens to me also

Hmmm hasn't happened to me..

Sometime firefox suddenly stop and doesnt wannt to work until i turn it off and run it again.Fortunatly that doesnt happening toomuch time.Perhaps is same thing.

What Isp are you using ?
Also, what have done about it ?

Hell the techs at Sympatico says everything's fine !

I must use a fucking back dialup connection at 56k :1orglaugh (that never gets to 56k) right now my High speed's working tho

It's doing the same thing with IE and Netscape:upsidedow
