Verizon DSL or just DSL problem in general ?

Posted on October 1, 2011 by admin| 7 Comments

I had Verizon DSL for 11 months and very UNHAPPY with it. My browser would not connect to the internet at least twice to 4 times a day, I would have to turn the Verizon provided wireless router off and turn it back on for it to work. I asked Verizon for a different wireless router and the same thing still happens. So now it is a rountine for me to turn the wireless router off and back on few times a day. I called Verizon technician and they told me it is normal. Is this Normal?? ? Is this what people with DSL have to go through every day or just Verizon DSL service ?
My 1 year contract is up with them next month so I think I’m going to swith to Time Warner high speed internet. I will probably go with the cheapest package which is Road Runner Standard 4M x 512K* or 6M x 384K* which I dont even know which one to pick or if it is fast compare to Verizon 765k package I have. I’m just so tired of running down stairs to turn the wireless router off/on. Thanks for any advice !

How can I find out if my bf watches porn on the Internet?

Posted on July 15, 2011 by admin| 15 Comments

Can I figure out how much time sb spents on a site or sth like that? The thing is: I don’t mind, but I hate it that he might be lying to me and I just have to make sure I’m not crazy. I have studied the history on his computer and I’m just very upset because on one day all he had accessed were porns. That day we had only dial-up internet, so I don’t think the computer accessed the site by itself, like he states (the cable is not always plugged in). I’m really upset, but maybe I’m not right. PLS help me with real answers and data.
Maybe U didn’t get it right: I enjoy watching porns myself. The point is that he lies to me, and this is why I’m so mad. I don’t hold him on a leash I just stumbled on the sites.
This is how I foud the sites in the first place…
By god, everybody has his/her little secrets. But lying to my face is sth else…by the way – where are all computer – experts when U need them?
AND AGAIN FOR ALL PEOPLE OUT THERE: THIS IS NOT THE RELATIONSHIP SECTION. THIS IS THE SECTION FOR COMPUTERS&INTERNET/INTERNET

FTP Cannot See Shared Files in Network?

Posted on February 27, 2011 by admin| 1 Comment

My DSL crashed the other day and I had to disconnect my network and use a dialup until my DSL is backup. When I connected back my network (I have 4 PCs and 2 laptops with wireless connection in the network), my FTP software cannot find my shared files anymore. I can access my data files and internet through my network but WS FTP cannot see my shared folder. Can anyone help?
Thanks for your suggestion. I tried pinging it and I was able to ping it. So it must be some other reason

Is there an easy way to share a dialup connection on an office network?

Posted on August 28, 2010 by admin| 3 Comments

In my office at work, we have a network with a high speed internet connection. However, sometimes we need to transmit data over a dialup connection. This only happens a few times a day, but sometimes different people are trying to use the dialup connection at the same time and we only have one line dedicated to a dialup connection.

So my question is, is there a way to share that dialup connection with different computers so they don’t have to wait for the other user to disconnect?

Error 797 — modem not found?! A dialup connection problem.?

Posted on August 12, 2010 by admin| 1 Comment

This is not a problem with my computer, but a problem with a computer of my supervisor at work. Her computer was working fine, until one day, when her computer suddenly proclaimed an error 797, which, according to the error description, was due to the ‘modem being busy or not found’. She does not know what caused this, and whenever she tries to connect (she has a dial-up connection), the modem does not try to dial — it immediately throws that error. Looking at her computer, I noted that her modem did not appear in the Device Manager, and also that something called a ‘PCI Communications Controller’ had a question mark beside it — indicative of an error with the associated drive. We have tried to reinstall the modem (with the Creative CD that she had), but the reinstallation does not seem to have work. We were wondering if anyone had any other suggestions, because she is desperately in need of checking her e-mail. Thanks. =)
