I called my cable company Saturday morning and they provisioned my modem and that helped a lot.
Most of my test have been in the three to four second range on the download but I have been testing on the weekend and over the years I have learned weekends seems to have a lot of network traffic and ...

I have MediaCom internet access at home.
I have rented my modem for 10 years. (Modem is an RCA DCM215)
For about six years the rental was $4.00 per month.
For the last four it has been $3.00 per month.
Doing the math that is over $500.00 rental on the modem.
I noticed on Newegg that a Linksys Modem ...

I agree, don't use the @home software.
I have Mediacom@home in Harvest, AL and it is not necessay to install their software.
All you need to know is:

Your computer name: ( They assign that)
Workgroup: @home
Email server name
News server name

I am at work right now so I can't rember the email ...

Mr. Dave.... Huh?

That is another thing I forgot to mention. The mail server AND the news server in the information packet were wrong for my area. I had to call tech support for those too.

The guy says "@home is your mail server"
I told him I entered that but it would not work. He leaves the phone ...

Trust these guys. I don't think you want the @home diagnosis.
Thanks to this forum I was able to avoid loading the @home software that I did not want.
I had noted various post here at SpeedGuide about it not being necessary to use the @home software to use the service.
I was with ISP Channel and ...

RedzRum: OK.... so you buy the modem then in 6 months your ISP sells out, goes belly up... someone else takes the accounts over and they do not support your modem you purchased or the ISP decides to change to a better/faster modem suddenly yours is obsolete... then where are you?
My ISP (MediaCom ...

Update:
I got the router,Linksys 10/100 nic card and Belkin cables. Buy.com honored the $104.95 price. I installed it and it worked right out of the box. Napster did not work but I finally got it working by reinstalling Napster and telling it that I was behind a firewall. I ended up going to Office ...

FINALLY!!!!!
I got it working.
I replaced the network card with a Linksys.
Set up my MAC address in the router with the one that my ISP gave me.
Napster still would not work.
Uninstalled Napster.
Reinstalled Napster.
When I got to the part about the firewall it was already checked that I was behind ...

The computer that is hooked to the 100ft cable (Windows ME) is the one Napster will run on. I read up on this before I bought the 100 ft cable and what twwabw is saying is exactly what I read on a networking site. There is not suppose to be a problem as long as the run is not over 300 and whatever ...

Rex007:
"try taking it off port 6699"

What are other acceptable ports to try?

Here is where I am at right now:

I have spent the ENTIRE weekend fighting this problem.
Wednesday: I got my new Linksys BEFRS41 router, 100 ft. Belkin 10/100BT CAT5 Patch cable, Linksys Etherfast ENET PCI 10/100 PNP ...

Wednesday: I got my new Linksys BEFRS41 router, 100 ft. Belkin 10/100BT CAT5 Patch cable, Linksys Etherfast ENET PCI 10/100 PNP network card and 7 ft. Belkin 10/100 CAT5 Patch cable.

Thursday: Hooked up the router using the 7 ft. Belkin cable ...

I guess I should have read it twice.
I see he has a hub only sorry for the mis-information.

I thought the router takes your IP Address from your ISP and assigns two other IP Addresses for your other computers behind the router. I have two computers and the same router you do and I can access the net with both at the same time. I think you have missed something in the set up. Go back over ...

"did you disconnect your proxy settings in your internet connections and diconnect automatically detect settings?"

Yes

Any other suggestions?

I have used the Linksys with the original firmware Ver. 1.36 and the new Ver. 1.37. It still will not work with Napster.
I do not have Zone Alarm installed anymore.
I thought you did not need that with a "hardware" firewall and it was acceptable to do away with the software firewall?
I can download ...

I just installed a new Linksys router (BEFSR41) several days ago and have some questions about it.
When I log onto Napster now I have not been able to connect to anyone so far on my "Hot List" and download anything from them. If I take the same song and search for it and find other users who have ...

Has anyone noticed that the Linksys four port router prices are falling like the stock market?
I went to Buy.com Monday and the price was $104.95 and I noticed that BestBuy is now carrying a 8 port ($179.95) and they have dropped the 4 port.
Is the 8 port just a replacement of the four port ...
