If your PC is freezing regularly, and you are on PPPoE using Enternet300 (most Ameritech DSL accounts), your computer may be looking around for a DHCP server that does not exist. Check the following: (windows)
If you are using Windows 2000/XP: control panel /network connections /local area connection /properties /Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) /properties. Then use the following IP address: IP address 192.168.0.1 Subnet mask 255.255.255.0 This assignment of a harmless local IP address to the TCP/IP settings bound (connected) to your network adaptor, will stop the in-built DHCP services from waking up every 10 minutes to look for a DHCP server so that it can "fill in the blanks". This should solve the freezing problem. got feedback? by RadioDoc edited by lev |
