Q: My modem will only friends to call during certain hours and he can not figure out why. Could it have something to do with the TCP / IP Config? Any theories / suggestions are welcome.
Re:<< My friend has two pc's connected to a splitter and is using an att broadband connection >>
Is it ADSL?
My DSL won't even connect if I have both PC's plugged in at the same time.
What operating system is on each of them?
Could there be some filtering software set on the Gateway so no one
can get on the internet during a set period.
IE to keep your children off while you're not there to supervise.
Re:Cholley, winipcfg is entered under START, RUN and then I enter winipcfg — Correct? guy, he says he's tried your other suggestions with no success, with the exception of calling the ISP. Both computers cannot connect at the same time because he is not using a router but a spliter. However, the Micron will connect at anytime of the day or night and his Gateway will not connect after 7 pm. and not again until 8 am. Weird huh?
Re:may sound dumb, but do you restart after you encounter this problem? is the other computer connected to the internet at that time? normally isp's don't let you connect more than once, that is why I ask. Has he called the Isp to see if it is on their end?
Re:Thanks Cholley, I'll tell him to give it a shot.
Re:when the pc won't connect run winipcfg and renew all and see what you get
Re:guy, what do you mean by formatting????
Re:if possible, try formatting!
Re:Strangely Cholley, My friend has two pc's connected to a splitter and is using an att broadband connection. At a certain hour every night one pc (the same one) will not connect to the net until the next morning. We're wondering if there is some type of timing control he actually set and didn't realize, but really have no clue. any thoughts???
Re:you could try to config the tcp/ip and see what you get, line quality could be a factor, will it dial and not connect?
your friend should complain to the isp
