When t'internet goes wrong
« on: August 26, 2009, 07:52:24 AM »
Ok ..since the weekend I have been having major t'internet connection problems.

Diagnosis box says problem with DSN something or other and contact provider etc.

This I have done frequently .......At what cost to my purse strings I have yet to discover  evil:

I have changed all the cables into the router , all the lights are on that should be on the router, I have put it in a cooler place , I have changed the filter on the phone socket - I have even tried a different router but all to no avail. Could no get any t'internet last night  Banghead

This morning so far it is working fine  cussing:

The technical advice line said the line appeared to be ok and they asked me to change the filter last night and then ring back. When I rung back they had closed for the day  cussing: cussing: cussing:

Any advice if this happens again which I'm sure it will do  cry:

Get a man in?

I am sure a plethora of VP geeks will be along shortly to instruct you on cleansing your registry or similar.

I am not sure I want to be part of a plethora. Sounds a bit like a medical condition.

Ok after several hours worth of calls I have now been advised to perform a hard reset on the router  eeek:

This appears to be working for the moment - fingers and cables crossed  scared2:

That's what I would have suggested (if I had noticed this quick enough  redface:)

I sometimes have to do that - it always works.

PS - why don't wimmin have a "reset" button?

With some wimmin, it is extremely difficult, sometimes impossible, to find, never mid actuate.

Certainly some are defective and no amount of manipulation will produce the desired effect(s).

And remeber, all of this without an instruction manual ot tech support!

I think that is called "powering down" rather then resetting.

That's why you always require a newer version  whistle:

Unlike the telly, a sharp blow on the top with the heel of your hand doesn't work either.  noooo:

Unfortunately, newer versions tend to get more complicated and put greater demands on our abilities to cope.
