Re: FIXED IT!- maybe not OK so changing network cards worked last night, but I just woke up and the damn problem re-appeared! BTW-I too have a static IP and havent been billed yet either, and if they do send me a bill im not paying it cuz they never sent me my rebate.
Anyway, I think it might be the proxy settings that IE & Netscape use, since I cant do a Norton Live Update because it uses IE's proxy settings. Does anyone know the manual proxy settings for phoenix? Also, anyone know where your supposted to specify host & domain for a nic in win2k? Its not under tcp/ip settings. I never had it filled in before, but i want to try it now since that might be part of the problem as well.....
Damn you phoenix!

| Woke up today and the internet works...well, worked...
However, a funny thing happened to me yesterday:
Yesterday, internet stopped working on all 5 computers in my house - aol would still connect ftp works, etc...
I used aol browser to post a comment here and surf the internet for a while, but then suddenly it also stopped working (couldnt connec to its proxy server).
I was messing with my settings and at some point IE (BUT NOT NETSCAPE) started going to microsoft.com and any microsoft subdomains without any troubles....My first thought? IS BILL GATES TALKING OVER THE INTERNET?!??!?!?! 
Also, once i created my account, i created myself a email address @phoenixdsl.com i have a right to have 5 email accounts and now i want to use that right - but i dont seem to be able to reach tech support.... when shoul i call? or should i call megapath or someone else?
Just now when i was about to post this, the internet died again, but now - big time - nothing will work. I can ping my gateway fine tho.
Trace route to www.microsoft.com or www.yahoo.com times out after hitting br1-g8-0-0.nyc.dbn.net (216.178.226.10)
DAMN YOU PHOENIX!
update: internet back to life @ 12:30 PM EST... |
