GreedyTop -> I need PC tech help... (1/24/2012 6:42:30 AM)
recently, my PC quit accessing the net. Comcast came out, and did their thing so I am able to get online with the lappy, but not the PC (the access on the lappy lasted about a half a day longer than the PC). The comcast guy did the reset network/diagnostics/etc on the PC, but no joy. I DLed Avast to the lappy, burned onto a stick, and loaded it onto the PC, then ran ALL the scans. Still no joy. Help?

I could say Linux, but you might prefer Windows.

GreedyTop -> RE: I need PC tech help... (1/24/2012 7:14:16 AM)
but my PC WILL NOT access the net AT ALL for me to DL anything.. (I tried linux on my admittedly hobbled netbook, and wasn't impressed... of course, I have no fucking idea where that netbook is now, it was so hobbled...)

k, how far can you get? You can boot up, and just not connect, or what?

GreedyTop -> RE: I need PC tech help... (1/24/2012 7:17:10 AM)
everything but my internet is working just fine.

Fornica -> RE: I need PC tech help... (1/24/2012 7:18:24 AM)
Is it wired, or are you (trying to) connect wirelessly?

GreedyTop -> RE: I need PC tech help... (1/24/2012 7:31:21 AM)
wired. the lappy is wireless, but the PC is a dinosaur.

Is it your cable? Is the interwebz speed too fast for your PC?

GreedyTop -> RE: I need PC tech help... (1/24/2012 7:51:27 AM)
nah it was working just fine until a few days ago. The comcast guy switched out the cable (which I had already done..).

angelikaJ -> RE: I need PC tech help... (1/24/2012 7:53:24 AM)
GT, What exactly happens when you try to connect, and what does your network connections say via the network connections menu? If your laptop is connecting wireless-ly, have you tried seeing what happens when you try to connect it directly to the internet the way your pc is and run it directly off that connection?

mnottertail -> RE: I need PC tech help... (1/24/2012 7:56:51 AM)
look for a button with a radio tower on the side of the pc or a blue fn key with a radio tower on it, and put it the way it aint.

Fornica -> RE: I need PC tech help... (1/24/2012 7:59:11 AM)
What she said, can you see the connection appear in network connections? Can you screenshot?

GreedyTop -> RE: I need PC tech help... (1/24/2012 8:14:37 AM)
the PC gives me the unable to connect message. ok, after testing it several times, if I run the CAT cable to the lappy, it's not working on the lappy. it seems that the modem works fine to the wireless router, but not wired.

angelikaJ -> RE: I need PC tech help... (1/24/2012 8:22:38 AM)
Your modem settings are probably askew; I would call the internet provider (cable) and have them trouble shoot it with you.

GreedyTop -> RE: I need PC tech help... (1/24/2012 8:28:13 AM)
done and done. still no joy. new cables, diagnostics run, new modem... sigh

go start > run > type cmd then at the black window type ipconfig /all hit enter whats the response? Lets make sure the network adapter is enabled, functioning, then to try pinging the loopback.

GreedyTop -> RE: I need PC tech help... (1/24/2012 8:40:26 AM)
it says: C:\documents and settings\owner>

GreedyTop -> RE: I need PC tech help... (1/24/2012 9:06:45 AM)
off to do the sleepy thing. I hope.

Twice we've had to replace the router.
