| 438654 | 2006-03-17 09:49:00 | Well if you're not using DHCP, my IP lease theory is all wrong (I think). So really, I have no idea. I don't know much about networking. My parents broadband started disconnecting often after I signed them up, similar problem, a phone call to QSI showed Telecom had got it wrong. So first piece of advise is call the ISP and let them know what's wrong. My 2.25c (inc GST) roddy |

| 438656 | 2006-03-17 10:44:00 | James - Malware is the plural of malware. Thanks for pointing that out, Roddy :thumbs: Do the following terms sound grammatically correct? 1) Viruses 2) Adwares Cheers :) |

Some would suggest Viri as a plural for Virus, but its actually Viruses According to my understanding.... |

| 438658 | 2006-03-17 19:10:00 | It is not viri, or (which is worse) virii. True, the word comes directly from Latin, but not all Latin words ending in -us have -i as their plural. Besides, viri is the Latin word for 'men' (plural of vir, man, the root the English virile). There is in fact no written attestation of a Latin plural of virus. It is quite simply viruses. All ex goog. |

| 438659 | 2006-03-18 22:26:00 | I have just been doing a lot of surfing and downloading and it never froze once, I have noticed it freezes more at differrent times and it does it the worst after school from about 4.30 till 10.00. So maybe it is getting flooded :confused: But then it used to freeze any time :confused: |

| 438660 | 2006-03-19 00:27:00 | Only way I could get it to work, I could ping IPs, but not web addresess. I operate a manually set up network (no DHCP) via a switch and an ADSL router and every now and then I would lose net access. Pings worked on IP addresses, but I couldn't ping web addresses. The problem was that my computer was simply dropping my Xtra DNS details and reentering them restored normal service. While this is not quite the same as your problem, the issue disappeared about the same time as I entered new Xtra DNS addresses. The old ones were apparently not well supported anymore by Xtra and they advised the change during a contact for unrelated reasons. Sounds like you can't resolve DNS details. Incidentally, when you say you "reset" the modem, do you mean a power off reboot, or are you using the reset button? The latter probably sets the modem back to its default settings, which could explain some of your problems with DHCP . Cheers Billy 8-{) |

Is your friends place the same ISP as your place? If not it could be your ISP. Is your friends place on the same exchange as you? If not you could be sharing the same data port in the exchange with more and more people and thus slowing it down. |

| 438662 | 2006-03-19 04:44:00 | Billy- what are the DNS details that they told you? By reset I mean pull the power, there is NO reset button. The settings are all the same, ie forwarded ports. BJ- It is the same ISP (pretty sure). Deffinately not the same exchange, he is no the other side of the the area. That wouldnt surprise me, what can resolve that? |

| 438663 | 2006-03-19 07:14:00 | Billy- what are the DNS details that they told you? Xtra DNS: (Old) 202 . 27 . 184 . 3 & 202 . 27 . 184 . 5 (New) 202 . 27 . 158 . 40 & 202 . 27 . 156 . 72 It is the same ISP (pretty sure) . Definitely not the same exchange, he is on the other side of the the area . That wouldnt surprise me, what can resolve that? I assume you were using his account logon details then, because (from a previous thread in the last few days) I have presumed that your logon is dedicated to the dslam at your local exchange . It would be interesting to know if you can access xtra dsl say, from any phone line provided you are using an Xtra logon . That would make things interesting . Cheers Billy 8-{) |
