Solve : internet really slow, help?

Answer»

Hi, I have a problem with my internet connection. Some of the internet content i try to acess straight up fails, and displays an error message "connection timed out" and other web pages are fairly SLOW at loading. This is really frustrating especially with online gaming. I have recently found out that when i ping any server through cmd, i get a 25% loss, 1 package never comes back. can someone please help, i dont know what to do, my internet is slow, and at times doesnt work. ALSO i should mension, my computer is not the only one on the network, but its the only one thats doing this, the other one is working perfectly. please help, i need my internet to function properly.What information should I add when submitting a question?im running windows XP with vista theme, computer is custom assembled intell pentium 4 3.07GhZ, 3GB ram, ATI video card, i dont know the model though. ASUS P5ND2-SLI motherboard. The problem arises in all of my internet browsers, (internet explorer, firefox, opera) It was slow like this for a while, i cant remember how long, but i only noticed the 25% loss of information earlier today when i pinged google, and a number of other different servers. The error message says "the connection has timed out" after i refresh, sometimes twice, it loads the PAGE. During online play my ping ranges between 100-500. My computer is connected to the internet through a router, Linksys Wireless G broadband WRT54GS (i use a cable though) Thats about all i can say, im not very wise in computers.First thing to try is to hardwire it straight to the modem. Reset modem, restart computer.k il try that, also my replies might take long because of the internet lagg, one question, (if un answered il try wiring directly to modem anyway) after i wire directly to the modem, to bring it all back through the router, im gona need to connect modem to router and reset it again right? ... and restart my computer. also while this is working the browsers all show a different error message:
internet explorer: could not load web page
firefox: connection timed out
opera: could not contact remote server
il try wiring directly to the router some time tomoroow, and reply as soon as i canalso if nothing can be done by sunday, theres no point, im leaving to a different country on monday, sorry for the short topicAll those error messages are basically the same thing, just different browser wording.

Yes.i have wired my computer directly to the router, reset it, and restarted my computer, there was no internet at all. the cmd ping google.com command said "could not locate remote host" Computer back to router configuration, and internet is is still terribly slow. thanks for veryfying how to put it all back together. while reconnecting all the wires i found 2 quite suspicious things, both the router and the modem, are very hot, and the wire that runs to the wall, looks like an untenna wire, has an extension on it. the extension was always there, but its 2 feet long, and it looks like it was made 50 YEARS ago, dont know if that really matters though.

correction: i connected my computer directly to the modemNow, wait.
Did you connect your computer straight to the router, or to the modem.
I wanted you to bypass router, and go straight to the modem.
What do you mean by "extension"?
I suspect some modem, or/and router problem.
If nothing works, I'd call ISP to check them out.i connected my computer straight to the modem, i bypassed the router completely, and it just didnt work entirely. and by extension i mean 2 cables connected together instead of one because both of them are too short. I recall having a similar problem long ago, it was fixed by a brand new modem from the ISP. I dont rule out a router problem though.

I just pinged google again, all packages returned, 0% loss, internet became surprizingly fast. this happen like 5 minutes after the second computer connected to the network, was shut down. and while both of the computers were on both the computers experienced this problem, the other computer started having slow internet while mine was on. this is news to me too, never happened that way before, before mine was just the slow one. it seems like the 2 computers cant fit into one network.As I said, I suspect modem/router problem, and I doubt we can figure something more out, before they're checked/replaced.ok thanks for your help, il check the router and modem when i return from my international trip, i dont think anything can be done in 2 days.Hey, you're welcome.
Your ISP can do one test straight from their office, ping you line, and it may show something.
