I live in Macomb county in Michigan and I have a question about People PC internet service?

Posted on March 26, 2011 by admin| 1 Comment

My computer is hooked up for DSL service only. I need a new DSL modem box from SBC but Im afraid it will cost too much as my one year warrenty is over. The box switch I believe is broken and sometimes it takes me almost an hour to get the box to go on pushing the little power button in the back of the box because when I take my finger off the button it goes off. So….anyways, rather than pay most likely about 70 bucks for a new modem box I was thinking of switching to people pc but Im not sure if they have dsl service or is it only dial up? Also would like to know if anyone has this service and how they liked it. Or….do you know how I can maybe fix my modem box or get a new one for 20 or less dollors. At radio shack (found it online) they asked close to 70 dollors!! That is outrageous for such a cheap little plastic box. Help please

IE question?

Posted on February 21, 2011 by admin| 2 Comments

I am having a problem that I can’t figure out. I don’t know what happened or what was done to my ie for this to happen. I cannot veiw web pages in ie unless they are https:// sites http:// does not work. This is on dialup only. On a cable connection it opens any site that I want it to. I have to be on dialup sometimes so would like to fix this problem. I have considered uninstalling but I don’t see a way to uninstall ie on my computer have looked everywhere (add/remove programs and the ie folder itself on my harddrive). And I currently have to use dialup so reinstalling from the internet is a problem (time consuming). If anyone knows the fix for this please let me know. If you know how to uninstall ie 6 service pack 2 let me know as well. Thanks for any response.
Also I have aol and its browser works fine which i thought that that browser was just ie ?? But this leaves me stuck with aol I use firefox for most things but even it does not open everything that ie will yet so help please!

How do I tell what port an old Microsoft Game uses??

Posted on August 16, 2010 by admin| 1 Comment

The Games in question: Combat Flight simulator 2 & Crimson Skies..

My friend & I would network back when we had dialup, we have moved on to newer games. We now have DSL and found our old games this year . But we can’t network, I can’t see his IP & he can’t see mine. These are the only old games we have a problems with. Is it the games or do we need to do some Port forwarding / Static IP stuff ?? Can any one shed some light???

Thanks <> Pat
