Is there a way to Test check ethnet to modem?

Hello got a problem with my DSL modem.
What happens is i turn modem on Ethnet 1 comes on, DSL light come on and blinks, Internet light does not but if you let it set there for 20 minutes it comes on at randum then off for a while then back on, after about an hour of this on/off game, the internet light stays on.
Now I have change telephone wire, DSL phone filters and ethnet wires does not effect or correct the problem. This Modem is not mind but the companies that services my DSL Which I have not even had a year. What I want to make sure of is that the signals from my computer ethnet is communicating with the modem OK so I can tell Centurytel to get their butt out here and fix this thing

MY computer is a HP M700n Multi Media TV center desktop with Vista
The Modem is wheatey DSL Not wireles telephone to modem and computer ethnet to modem

Re: Is there a way to Test check ethnet to modem?

Register at DSLReports and run their Line Quality Tests. It's best to run this test with a direct wired connection to eliminate any wireless issues from the results. It's useful many times to run this test several times, and we'd like to see each of the results. Post the results link from the top of the test display page for each test run here.

The link to post is near the top of the page and looks like:

If you wish to post this result to a forum, please copy/paste this URL
http://www.dslreports.com/linequality/nil/2357195 <- sample only, yours will obviously be different!
and your IP will be disguised.

Copy/paste that link here.

Note: You will have to enable PING (ICMP) request response either in your router (if you have one), or in your computer's firewall for direct modem connections. This is very important to get the most important part of the test to run.


DSLReports

Here's also the Line Quality Tests FAQ to help you understand the results. This will answer some questions about the line quality display.

I have no idea what that's about, I direct people there all the time successfully. Try a different email account, say a gmail account.
