Connection keeps timing out

fionamaye · 06-30-2007, 03:47 PM

Hi, I have a really frustrating problem tonight, I keep getting problem loading page and server not found messages, if I do a repair on the connection it seems to fix it for a minute or so but I keep having to do this over and over.

Any one have an idea?

Thanks

Please supply the following info.

The name of your ISP and country of residence.
Make/model of the broadband modem.
Make/model of the router (if any).
Connection type, wired, wireless.
Make/model of network card or wireless adapter.
Make/model of your computer (motherboard if home-built).
Version and patch level of Windows, i.e. XP-Home SP2.

I'm wireless on broadband.

No idea of network card, must have a built in wireless adaptor.

Turion 64, Medion 96400.

Yes to home SP2, have updated the patches.

If I can get a connection, will give you more info.

Do you think this may be an isp problem?
I changed from one to the other recently but still have the broadband box (router?) from the old isp installed. Maybe this is the problem?
It seems to be ok, so far today, but mostly this problem occurs at night?

What's the make and model of the modem and router? Are they any other computers connected to this connection? Have you tried a wired connection to see if this is wireless interference or some issue with networking?

Cayman 3347W Netopia - make any sense?

No other computers connected.

If this only occurs at night, have you tried running a wire to the router to see if it's local interference or the ISP? Many times an ISP gets overloaded in the evening hours and that's when trouble starts.
