Well.........wadda ya expect Gumby? :confused:

It's obviously not wearing the foilie hat, musta slipped off.

You could also try Cmd Prompt > ipconfig /flushdns, then; Cmd Prompt > ipconfig /release, & to finish Cmd Prompt > ipconfig /renew

I did all that but there's no connection light on the modem. The send light flashes and that's it, no connection. It's always the same too. Then it just fires up. I rebooted the comp and the router as well.

It will be interesting to see if it's the same again tomorrow.

I get a similar thing with Primus, spend forever trying to sort out your end, then, if you can get through to their help desk they say, oh sorry we were experiencing difficulties.

Gumby,
I am on Telstra cable as well. When such difficulties have happened in the past, they even asked me to re-install TCPIP. I then proceed to let them know that I am amongst other things also a Microsoft Certified professional. This part is true. They then quickly change direction and begin to investigate the problem. Usually the problem rectifies itself in a day or two when enough people have a problem of the same kind.:confused:. Last time I called them was the time when Steve Irwin was killed. The OZ intenet came to a grinding halt, but they insisted that everything was normal. You learn to live with the pathetic service so that Solly the hombre can get his big bonus.

Well, some stories have a happy ending.

After being offline again for 2 more days this week, the Telstra guy came and looked at the connection to the power pole. Guess what, it's rusty.

He replaced it in about 3 minutes and all of a sudden, my speeds are back up (it was slower thatn dial up this morning) and the timeouts shoud cease - hopefully.
