I didn't see a forum for Worldnet users. I'm just searching for answers as I have gotten no help from AT&T.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21541047 Sun, 07 Dec 2008 07:20:07 EDT Re: Keep getting dropped and no ip address http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21489299 NormanS :

I'm having the same problem in VA.
Just curious about what part of Virginia is served by AT&T Northeast. Or even AT&T Southeast, for that matter. Could it be that you are an "AT&T Worldnet Service DSL" user?

The DSL signal seems great but the Internet light goes out randomly almost every day or night. Lately, I can't even power cycle. I have to reconnect using the modem Wizard. AT&T had me establish a manunal connection which is supposed to solve the problem. It worked even with a router for 3 days then I couldn't connect. I finally reset the modem and went back to the automatic connect and just do what I have to do to get connected. I even got a new modem from AT&T. It didn't help. AT&T has no other solutions so I am checking out other service providers. I had wonderful service for over two years. I feel the problem lies with their equipment/connection but nobody gets to the root of the problem. The PPP0E connection should be consistent. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21486864 Wed, 26 Nov 2008 08:58:27 EDT Re: Keep getting dropped and no ip address http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21283703 PeteC2 : Sounds like what I am going through here in Bristol now, only I have it even more severe.

I called in and after hours of haggling tier one "help", I finally got a service call in for a couple of days later.

The day before they came out, it came back up, full speed. The next day, Tuesday (I was at work, so they only had outside access, but no biggie, as all the lines in this building are just fine), they left me a message saying that they "fixed" the problem.

Yesterday afternoon, slowly at first, it went back down the tubes again. I can barely connect, or not connect at all.

So, I call them, and ask just what did they "fix" on Tuesday? Oh, nothing, as it turns out, "everything appeared to be fine already".

Obviously not! Supposedly they will be back out tomorrow, but frankly, I am quickly losing confidence in what they say.

...something is happening here but you don't know what it is...do you, Mr. Jones?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21283703 Fri, 17 Oct 2008 14:02:10 EDT Re: Keep getting dropped and no ip address http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21282865 legendman : I have replaced everything with spares that I have, nothing seems to make it better.

One thing to note right after I posted this, on my way home I saw a At&t truck at the end of my street and since then it has worked fine. Hmmmm ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21282865 Fri, 17 Oct 2008 11:33:14 EDT Re: Keep getting dropped and no ip address http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21194971 orion940 : Have you just gone from the modem to the NIC card in the PC? I realize there might be more that one PC hooked up, but this might give you better or easier to trap messages.

Did you try resetting the modem to factory defaults and start over (if possible)? The router?

It will be ok for a couple days then it I have persistent trouble for a couple days. Doesn't seem to be weather related because Friday and Saturday during the downpours it was working fine, but Sunday it dropped and took approx. an hour to get connected again. This has been an ongoing issue for the last couple months, I ran a wire directly from the box on the outside of the house and that didn't help. Also I have swapped out modems and routers to no avail. I am using either a speedstream and a dsl modem made by creative to test with. Both routers I have tested with are linksys. Any help with what to look at next is greatly appreciated.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21187079 Mon, 29 Sep 2008 15:09:53 EDT
