Cable Internet Bursting

Purkinje · 09-22-2007, 09:05 AM

I'm having a problem downloading big files, and i'm using a cable internet connection (I think the problem is bursting). It will start fine, and then just stop. It doesn't say it's done, no error messages, it just stops downloading. What can I do to fix this problem?
Thanks!

Ok, that last post was a lie, I have a question. How do you find if you are using encryption and what kind of encryption you are using?
Thanks!

The encryption is configured in the broadband router in the wireless setup section.
