There's something wrong with the 'net at my house; not entirely sure what the problem is, but it's pretty hard for me to get online, especially for any substantial length of time (read as: more than two minutes or so).

Slow posting 'til the problem is resolved. It might turn into a full hiatus, depending upon how things go. Serey, I'm sorry if this slows our thread down - I'm gonna try my best, though. If there's anybody that I have plans with, I'll understand if you wish to cancel.

Don't worry about it. :3 I'm feeling a little down anyway, so don't worry about it. *pats*

I hope you feel better. ;; ♥

Are you interested in backthreading, at all?

This is tl;dr WHOOPS.

ACK! ROFL IGNORE THIS IF YOU'VE ALREADY TRIED ALL THESE STEPS. >_>;

Uhm, if you haven't already tried, try doing a hard reboot of your router? Unplugging it for a minute should work. And if you're using a wireless hub on top of that, you should unplug that for a minute or so, too. (Most routers won't lose their settings over being powered off.) Try removing routers except for the one your internet company gave you to see if that resolves the issue (b/c of a dying router/messed up settings). If you can switch out the main router, then do that. If the issue is suddenly fixed, it's probably whatever component/hub/router you removed.

If all the computers are having an issue (AKA, ones even on landlines) after that, try switching out the main Ethernet cables for one hub/router at a time. If it's just your computer on Ethernet that's going out, just try switching that Ethernet cable out. Then test your cable on another computer, if there is one, and see if that computer that has no issues can connect to the internet with that cable--if not, then it's possibly a cable issue; if it can, then it's possibly your computer. Which would mean seeing if the network card inside it is loose/fried.

If every computer is having issues and is still having issues after trying everything, then it's most likely on the phone company's side and is either a problem with one of their computers or a physical problem with the lines. If you don't have a router that can replace the one the phone company gave you, it's also possible that the router is fried.

L-Lol, and uhm, if you have a modem, then just replace "router" with "modem". Although if you only have one computer online, it might be very difficult to determine what the problem is. D: Either way, these are the steps most phone companies would make you go through.

OH! And uh, the little tabs on Ethernet cables can break, too. XD So check for loose cables.

... Crap, that was long. XDDD; My Dad's side of the family compels me to give technical advice even when it isn't asked for. :| DARN YOU GENETICS--DARN. YOU.

Thanks for the advice!

To be honest, I'm really not sure what is going on. We have this wireless network thing -- the router (a Netgear 54Mbs Wireless ADSL Firewall router, if that makes a difference) is plugged into the phone-line and power-supply, with no other cables or anything. But for some reason, the wireless internet started getting really shaky, and then sort of died altogether.

Thing is, the router does work when I plug it into my laptop with an ethernet cable.

There are two computers in the house - my laptop, and the family desktop. They both rely on the wireless network, usually. And... we only have one router, so I don't have anything to switch it out with. I did try the hard-reset thing, though. Several times. DX

Sooo... I'm, uh, kind of lost.
