Internet Problems

I hate to say this, but go find your most network-savvy friend and have him come to your place and check out your stuff. There's a bajillion variables that could alter your internet connection, and if one minuet detail is tweaked, the whole connection could be thrown off. Don’t call any tech support though.

Well, unfortunately I am in a new city so I don't have many friends especially who have network knowledge. I talked to tech support online but they told me I needed to call the router company. I really don't want to.

sorry for the double post but ... yeah

Anyway, I called tech support for my router and first of all (no offense if anyone here works for them) but the guys are Netgear are jerks.

They won't help me because it has been 6 months since I bought the router. Now I don't know what to do but it is really pissing me off.

if you brought it to your moms and used it there it may have adopted new Subnets and Gateways.... What OS are you on?

What you need to do is go into the router usually

http://192.168.1.1 or around there...

Use the default user and pass the router has which would probably be in the books and see what its calling. You may have to go into Windows network configs and release those settings and renew the ip's.

err yeah so my ISP is a wh*re and should burn...but i have an insanely good computer, and yet my ping is up in the 170's when i play a game of cs, why? because my ISP is to much of a bad thing...i called them and told them their modem is screwing me over and they said they have no PROOF that it is...screw'd while telling me that they are slowly phasing out my modem (which is almost 4 years old) because of a number of unspecified problems...

Ignore that, just saying, try hooking up directly through your modem and see if its better, if not then it could be your router =P
