Ok... I have an 800 mhz cpu via chipset mother board. 386 mbs of ram, 40 gb harddrive.
With around 25 gbs free.
Now I've been having some serious packet loss for about a month now. My connection'll
be fine for maybe 2 minutes then blah no more receiving just sending.
Here's all the trouble shooting I've done:
Bought a new v92 USR USB external mode. I have it wired directly to the wall and
not through any surge protects (I'd wire it right to the box but I'm afraid I'd have
to splice my phone wires and I'm not too keen on screwing with that right now)
I'm running fsecure virus scan updated and no known viruses.
Zone labs firewall. It's not stopping the connections because it does it when it's
shut off anyway.
I have three separate lines in my house. I've tried on all three, the same packet
loss problem. I've also tried with my mother's sony laptop same problem. So that
rules out hardware and soft ware.
I've contacted bell and they've been here three times saying the lines are fine.
I've also tried on two ISPs and both same problem.
Aparently the marina across the road from me is having the same problem.
I'd upgrade to broadband if I could but I live in the boon docks and we don't get
any thing out here besides dial up. This is a real problem for me. I've contacted
Bell again. But I'm wondering if you guys might have some idea what I can do to work
around it.
I have a funny feeling it's the main line on the road side but bell's saying it's
fine. I don't know what to do. Really need a hand here guys :D
