cant connect

Asked Nov 18, 2004, 01:08 AM — 2 Answers
I can't seem to connect directly to my cable modem. I setup a wireless network and it was working fine but then I started having problems. I then decided to reset and reconfigure my router but when I tried to connect directly to my modem, it either didn't show the connection or it said that I have limited to no conectivity. I then asked around for a while and someone said just uninstall all the network cards and then reinstall the one I want to use. It worked. Almost. I have connection now but certain programs like aim doesn't work and when I try to reconfigure my router it goes back to limited to no connectivity. The only thing that I haven't tried is just formating the hdd and reinstalling my windows but the reason I haven't done that is cause 1. Its a pain in the to move all my files to a separate storage thing, 2. I'm not exactly sure how to do this(i did it once but that was a while ago) 3. My hdd has about 180GB of files that I want to keep and I only have a 160GB hdd to put it on. If anyone knows a better way to fix my problem or has some suggestions that might lead me into the right direction, please let me know

You may need a firmware update for your router but the best thing to do is establish if you can connect fine directly to the internet without the use of the router. If you can connect okay, then the problem lays in the router.

If you have emptied your temporary internet files and have removed all spyware, then I would contact the manufacturer of your router for support. Their support is almost always free 24/7.

If you cannot connect directly to the internet without the router, then contact your local ISP for support.
