Howdy,

Sounds like a Winsock problem.

Basically to fix:

Remove all networking devices and protocols.

Boot into safe mode, go to Control Panel / Add-Remove Programs, and go to the Windows Setup section.

Uncheck Dialup Networking to remove the remnants of TCP/IP.

Reboot and go back into safe ...

My Friends,

First, let me Thank You for all your help, expertise, and advice. I really appreciate your time and effort in solving this problem.

Second, here is the problem: "Ta-Da!!"
For lack of a better word, Port 3 on the router is "goofy". It will accept/use/employ a USB to Ethernet adapter ...

YOSC---Howdy!!

I am using one computer as my "test unit". I just unhooked everything and set up this computer straight into the cable modem--static. BOOM! No sweat. Great connection everything fine. Hooked to internal SMC nic.

Then, went into Network config. and unchecked everything and shut down ...

IntraTypeR....LOL, Yes, I have it in the right hole!!

cyberskye....MY iSP is not the problem, the router will not give me

Howdy,

I have a home network based around a Linksys BEFSR41 V.2 Router/ 4 port switch and a Comcast cable connection. All are using either Win98 or Win98se O/S.

For the past couple of weeks, I am unable to get workable I.P. addresses from my router to the ethernet cards in several of my ...

Howdy,

I have one 50 ft. rj-45 ethernet cable and one 25 ft. rj-45 ethernet cable.

Is there a connector/collar that is made to connect these two so that I can have and use the 75 ft' of both??

Thank you.

Hi rclayton17,

Just for the fun of it last week, I put an old ISA 3COM ethernet card into an AcerAspire 486DX2 computer, 540MB HDD, 36MB ram, Win95, IE5.5. I plugged it into my cable network and the thing averages 75-80KBs on real downloads.

Hi,

As far as I'm concerned, cable with a router is the only way to go!!

It will probably take you about 2 minutes of using it to draw the same conclusion.

Hi,

How much speed loss should I expect by having both Cable Internet connection and Cable TV on the same line?? Comcast just called and it seems that this is the best way for me to go.

I will appreciate your replies.

Hi,

Comcast is sending me a new, super-duper, bells & whistles, DOCSIS modem. They tell my that my Com21 is non-DOCSIS and that they will not support it and I need to be ready for the NEXT generation of wonderful things to come.

My question is this: Will my old modem still work after 10/07/2002? I ...

Hi j_r_

I would go through the process again---you know, remove it from Device Manager and reboot. When Windows finds it, choose "No, I want to select from a list." Go to Network Adapters, Scroll down to SMC, and then on the left--scroll to SMC EZ CARD PCI 10/100 (Model 1211) and choose this one ...
