Our DSL internet cut out again suddenly late this morning, and nothing helped again, until I got my hubbies Treo Stylus to push in the reset of the modem and voila it all connected through my router just fine again. This is frustrating since I never had to do this with our old modem. I must say here that in all the instances of this happening there is always a DSL light on the modem, there is something going on too ’cause if I do connect it directly to a computer the “internet connected” icon comes alive, though there IS NO internet. In each case it’s a “can’t connect” with a PPPoE type login from network connections in Win XP.<\/p>\n
I get the feeling that on the windstream end they have sent commands at my modem, trying to control it, for whatever reason. I don’t know that, just feel that something like that big brother sort of thing is going on. It’s simply put, not a re-boot of the router needed, not a re-boot of the modem needed, not a re-boot of the computer needed. It’s one thing that works, decent Treo Stylus pushing in of the reset of the modem. I have had two events in one week, and this time I carefully tried the least thing to the final push in of the reset on the modem. It’s just as before, jump through all the rings as many times as one wishes, but nothing resolved until reset was properly pushed in.<\/p>\n
The thing is, the internet is properly fast as it should be before and after and all the other time. It’s just this BAM it’s gone and won’t reconnect until that one thing is done. Shaking my head.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
