Is your IP static or dynamic?

Im willing to believe its dynamic, and you're having it set for static.

Under network properties, are your settings set for: "Get IP, etc... automatically"?

weed · Post by **weed** » Sun Oct 28, 2001 8:34 am

yes it says get it automatically

i'm in okemos, Michigan and i'm having the same troubles. i thought it would be associated to the huge t-storm we had a couple days ago that knocked out the net for a day, but know i think that is not what is causing it - specially because i'm not the only one.

btw, att@home, p3 750 w/640MB ram, 98se & a celeron 600 w/160MB RAM, winXP. both have the same trouble.

For bump:

You're using an @Home proxy. That may be a big part of your problem.

kip, i tried my conn while the proxy was disabled (at least in i.e.) also, without any succes. is that what you are referring to, or do u mean something else? if so, can u tell me how to disable the something else?

You will need to completely remove @HOME software. Its crap and you don't need it anyway. I had to remove IE and and the make a clean install. I have 0 problems since.

ironically i'm getting the same problem as u weed ... but my isp isn't located in USA cause i'm in Singapore....

bump · Post by **bump** » Sun Oct 28, 2001 8:05 pm

actually, i haven't installed the @home software in the first place. and if i do make a new install, i'm gonna be backing stuff up for years - so many tweaks, progs & other things that i like.

anyways - no @home software for me, i hate and don't need it. all my configs are right (to my knowledge at least. tech support checked 'em yesterday) and my modem light is on all the time. its almost like i reached some limit in the amount of traffic for a certain period of time, then it "cuts off."

weed, is that like what you are experiencing?

mercenary · Post by **mercenary** » Sun Oct 28, 2001 8:43 pm

bump, i seem to be getting problems like what u have said

bump · Post by **bump** » Mon Oct 29, 2001 8:12 pm

well. if what my friend tells me is correct, the manager of my local @home outlet lives acress the street from me >

i might have to ask "wtf is up wit teh cable biatch!" in a more formal way

lansens · Post by **lansens** » Mon Oct 29, 2001 11:01 pm

I would ask him in just that manner. You might get better service!

mercenary · Post by **mercenary** » Mon Oct 29, 2001 11:11 pm

hehz... give it to him man...

Here is a tip, try calling tech support!

bump · Post by **bump** » Wed Oct 31, 2001 11:32 am

just did... they're calling back tonight to confirm date & time.

no, i haven't bitched the guy out... he's never home at a decent time for me to do it.
