Hi I was wondering if any of you could help me with a problem ive been having with my cable since last thursday...
first ill give the specs of my computer
Dell 8100 pentium 4 1.3 ghz
Windows ME
128 megs rdram
40 gig hd
kingston ethernet card
Adelphia powerlink 2 way cable, with surfboard SB3100 modem
Now on to the problem, last thursday, my cable went down for about 30 mins to an hour.
Then it went back up, i was surfing internet pages fine, connecting to icq and AIM fine, sending and receiving files over icq just fine....
But when i tried to connect and refresh the won.net servers for halflife, i couldnt refresh them.
This also applies to when i tried to connect to Roger wilco, or when i tried to connect to Battle.net for Starcraft....
now i have been able to connect to battlenet, and halflife servers, twice since the cable went down, and i was only able to play for about 20 mins max before i got disconected....
I cant even Ping other IP Addy's through msdos prompt...
when i try to ping an IP, even one in my area. i get this error
"Transmit failed: error code 10050"
I also ran a scan on a ports, and it said all of the ports they scanned, were in stealth mode...
yet i had no firewall up, i made sure i turned it off before the test...
can anyone help me?
i'd appreciate any help i can get
i already called tech support
and the minute i mentioned games, he flipped out and was like "no sorry we dont support games of any kind, as long as you can go to webpages, and send emails, your not having a problem with our cable"
I would really appreciate any help i can get on this, thanks
