I don't really know exactly what was causing the slow connection speed, but I called tech support everyday for a week, and I got different answers every day I called. In the end, the tech helped me bridge my connection, and ever since them I've had no problems. I'm currently getting great speeds.

btw, thanks for the reply, BettyPuddle! ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20519940 Wed, 21 May 2008 19:58:13 EDT Re: Unable to Become Pingable http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20065057 BettyPuddle :

Do u by chance have a router???
That's important to know, as well try plugging direct (if you have a router) and running the test - reset the modem in case your modem has an assigned mac memory of only 1. (which in the firmware some ISPs do..)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20065057 Tue, 26 Feb 2008 13:15:58 EDT Re: Unable to Become Pingable http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19943071 dankalank : I'm using a Lynx 210 modem by Starbridge Networks - I think its a clone of another modem called the Aztech DSL600EU.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19943071 Wed, 06 Feb 2008 01:28:54 EDT Re: Unable to Become Pingable http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19943060 dankalank : Thanks for the responses.

Because I can't be pinged, I couldn't run a line quality test.
I've also been noticing strange spikes in dl speeds.

My service provider is Acanac, a small company who rates are considerably less than the larger companies who offer DSL in my city (Toronto). I've had speed problems with them in the past, but I was able to resolve them when I called in to the tech support hotline.

I've just re-installed windows, and can safely say that it is not a browser/os issue.

I'm going to place another call to the tech support hotline, see if they can solve my issues.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19943060 Wed, 06 Feb 2008 01:26:43 EDT Re: Unable to Become Pingable http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19881573 CBN Tech : Do u by chance have a router???

I have a 6000 kb/s LAN connection, but I have been experiencing a sudden drop in download & upload speeds. The max I'm getting when speed testing my connection is 3000 kb/s dl, and about 350 kb/s ul. I've tried to do the line quality test, but I am unable to become pingable, even after following the instructions on the site about how to allow it in Windows XP Firewall.

I've tried rebooting & resetting the network connection a couple times to no avail.

Any Suggestions?
