Ok I'll try to explain everything that I've done so far
I have Bell Sympatico DSL and I am using a D-Link DI 604 model to connect 2 computers (both on XP). Over 2 weeks ago my internet started disconnecting....i didn't really see the light go off on the dsl which was really weird but my internet would stall, i'd get disconnected from online games and my msn would disconnect. It's been doing this randomly now on a daily basis, its not always a complete disconnect but more like a gigantic lag spike and then it goes back to normal. I phoned Bell and the lady walked me through some steps and came to the conclusion that it was the phone plug outlet in my room that was the problem. So i moved everything to my roommate's room and hooked it up there but I am still getting the same problem. I noticed that when only one computer is hooked up into the router the problem doesn't seem to be occurring. I've been pinging websites and servers to look for timeouts. When both computers are hooked up, the Time Outs constantly occur. But when only one computer is hooked up there aren't any of the Time Outs.
I'm thinking that it might be the router because of this, but I am not 100% sure. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
