I can jocky DNS server and fix it for a while then it reverts back to the slow loading. Same sat/transponder is expected, but I'm surprised that your adapter IP address changed. They've been herding all PC-based systems into one gateway on one transponder on each satellite. In the case of Earthlink, you were already on 1410H - but they put you on a gateway for "legacy" systems. I was on G11/1370H for years. Reformatted my HDD last August > reinstalled Direcway > ran WebSetup > found myself on 1410H and DNS server 66.82.10.48 > things went downhill from there.
It was almost as if they were inserting bugs and intentionally causing poor performance, just to get us old-timers to upgrade. Nine months of aggravation on 1410H finally pushed me over the edge, I bit the bullet and upgraded in May.
Two things: first, WebSetup wipes out most TCP/IP tweaks. If you used DrTCP (or similar), you'll have to re-enter the changes. Second, WebSetup doesn't usually put the DNS address into your TCP/IP properties. After WebSetup, I typically found the check mark in front of "Automatically". You have to actually go into TCP/IP Properties and enter the DNS server address manually in the "Use This" box.

| thanks Greg,I didnt think to check drtcp,it had reverted back to default after web setup. My adapter IP address and gateway did indeed change,and ZAP shows my network IP/submask as new and its 10.70.1.x and the direcway info shows it as being 10.70.1.xxx. Two less numbers in ZAP than in direcway,unless ZAP is just showing a range. Seems like before it had the whole IP address listed. Cant really remember.

| Misery loves company! Phoned Earthlink (India) 8 times in past 6 days. They had me activate itu, change server address in registry 3 times. Told me last Thursday that Hughes was going to change my transponder to 1570, to re-run web setup for the umpteenth time. After running web setup, my IP Address changed, but still on 1410. I tried the link supplied by Greg for the free HN7000s modem, but learned that this is for Hughes customers only. I phoned EL to inquire if they had the free modem deal. They stated that there was nothing wrong with my modem, so I was not eligible. Last conversation I had with EL, they said it should be fixed in 24 hours. I'm not holding my breath!

1 edit | EarthLink and Hughes must have figured out how to drive the old DW4000 modems onto the trash heap... EL will not upgrade a modem... they're solution is to terminate the existing service and avail yourself of a new modem via a complete new system...
When I re-ran Web Setup, my gateway had changed, although I'm still on G11/1410. I spoke with New Delhi, nothing is working reliably today and I don't have high hopes that they will have it back up and running by tomorrow, as promised.
Sounds like $299.98 is the price of staying in the game using HughesNet... Looking at the "Pro" plan. That is, if I can get a look at the Service Agreement to review (can't get it to download this morning). Too bad I didn't have a choice between Hughes and EL when I originally signed up back in 2001. C'est la vie!
