Status: offline 		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 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...)

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?

Status: offline 		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.

Status: offline 		Your modem settings are probably askew; I would call the internet provider (cable) and have them trouble shoot it with you.

This. It's happened to us before and we had to do the above. Once it proved to be that the device just had to be replaced.
