Thread Name: Tech: Can't get on-line
Subject: RE: Tech: Help: Can't Get On-Line
I had all sorts of dial-up problems, going on for months, until the phone co. remade the contact in the street.
I couldn't get on, but my son could, with a less modern computer. I still couldn't get on, even using his phone point. My computer, right?
I could get on, but only as far as my ISP.
I seemed to be on, the phone was tied up, but I wasn't on.
I got disconnected without being informed.
My son had had little trouble, so as he is taking an electronics degree and needs it, I bought him a new computer and took over his. After a week, the troubles recurred, with his old computer. Virus, right?
I had removed my virus killer and used another one, spyware killers, changed the modem and everything I and my friends could think of, including phoning the phone Co. and asking if the line was faulty. No, they said. Liars. Liars. Liars. I spent DAYS on the problem.
Try taking your CPU to a friends house and trying their connection.
No, we had had no trouble with the phones, just the web.
