To my problem. I just moved back up to Berkeley for the fall semester. In the dorms, the school provides us with a T1 connection capped at 10Mb at Half-Duplex. On each floor, there is a network of all the residents' computers. Now I have two problems:
1) I know that I am NOT a part of the network of computers on my floor. For example, when my floormates make a game server, everyone is able to join the room as a lan game, but the game doesn't even show up on my game list. From this, I can infer that I am not a part of the network. And yes, my onboard lan is ON in my BIOS.
2) The incredibly weird thing is that, I only have access to the internet for a maximum of 20-25 minutes before it cuts off, and I am forced to restart my computer, where the internet is once again restored, but only to be cut off the next 20-25 minutes. The cycle continues. But I never had this particular problem at home with my DSL with this computer. So I am led to believe it is something with the school's internet, but I am the only one with this problem. I'm clueless.
I know you guys have many other things that you guys could be doing, so I thank you for taking the time to read through my problems and helping me out in advance. Any help is greatly appreciated!
