Hola, im having hella problem with my connection...
my cable comany is "millenium Digital Media"
problem is, i lose connection to the net often, sometimes a few times in less then 2 hours, sometimes a few times in 8 hours, its random..
i'm usually using a router "linksys wrt54g" my modem is an aeris modem, when my connection is on and working, im usually on a game "ultima online" and using "ventrilo" i'll be ok one minute, and ping outragious the next minute, but when i run ping tests and bandwidth tests all over places everythings ok.
i've tried, straight hooking modem up to 3 pc's all have the same issue, i've replaced all the cables, i've replaced all the eth and wireless cards, i've replaced the modem 4 times, 2 diff kind of modems, replaced router 4 times, my isp argues with me, that everything checks out every single minute they ping my modem.
if i run a p2p program such as limewire, i can download really good, but it bogs everything else to a stand still "normally it should not do that"
i've had tech guy out here 6 times, and everytime its "everything checks out fine, im completely stumped on what could be the problem"
i've used different outlets in my house for power, i've reformatted all the pc's, to see if its hardware or software failure etc. i've turned my connection into a static ip, and port forwarded alot of stuff...
im literally at my wits end on this...
i've been reading boards for almost a month, trying all kinds of things i see suggested, non seem to work at all...
plz.... anyone with best suggestions, i need help :/

Hi Fellow,

I get my connection speed with my cable modem supplied by my supplier, I get 38 kbps speeds & I get a speed of 53 Kbps by using new modem. Which is slower than Dialup connection. You can see my speed test result from http://bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/
Can you help me to getting me higher speed?

Hi,
I have some solution for your slower speed problem that may help you.
- Click on Control panel > System > Device Manager > Ports (COM & LPT).
It displays com port 1 & 2 if you have it.
- Click on Com 1 port & then click on properties > port settings.
Change the port settings to 921600 bit per second and change stop bits to 2 and set the flow of control to x on x to off.
I hope this will solve your problem & you can connect with high speed.
Thank you.

Hi guys,
When I switched to cable modem, my settings were wrong & not too much change in it. There are some changes from OS while optimizing the cable connection. But I didn't see such changes. I think that it makes me slower on internet.
help me.....

When you want renew the IP Address, type ipconfig/renew or ipconfig renew all. if you type ipconfig/? , in the prompt, it gives the whole options to you. Make sure that no connection available in startup, delete the connection you have, now make every thing to autoconfig. It will speed up and will work fine. I did this on both my PCs.

To create a new connection, select the network connections from Control panel. Click on Create new connection. It opens a series of steps that could be followed by you.

Hope your problem is over.
