Internet problems

[dreamflower]

For several days I've had intermittent trouble staying online; I can *get* online OK, but attempts to navigate from one page to the next are frequently stymied with a "cannot display this page" page. *sigh* And slowness. Really slow slowness.

It's been a lot worse tonight. I'm not even sure I will be able to post this post.

The trouble comes and goes-- it's worse in the evening, and better some days than others. At any rate, if I'm not commenting on your posts, it's probably because I couldn't. *sigh*

My son thinks it's my router; the DH thinks it's all the stuff my son's been downloading onto my computer. My son is complaining that it's making his X-box run slow. *I* think it's evol Titivillus the patron demon of scribes, out to get me.

Anyway, I have spent more time today fiddling and trying to get online than I have writing. *sigh*

ETAWell, it seems to have been the router. The DH took it off and hooked the comp directly to the modem. After a call to Suddenlink for a reset, it's working fine so far. *crosses fingers*

I'm sorry! :( There's nothing so frustrating as computer/internet problems! I hope you're able to get it resolved very soon!!! *hugs*

I hate computer issues. It always takes me so long to isolate the problem. I hope your computer is sorted out soon. I'm sure you're working on Christmas fic that we'd all love to read so I'll cross my fingers that whatever it is, it's fixed soon.

Is it possible that it has something to do with the comp's memory? Sometimes even the internet can get slower because of that.

No answers just sympathies!

Thank you! Problem seems to be resolved.

It was! But it seems to have been the router. The DH took it off and hooked the comp directly to the modem. After a call to Suddenlink for a reset, it's working fine so far. *crosses fingers*

Oh, I'm so glad. Routers are easier to replace than computers. : )
