Troubleshooting DSL Modem Connection Issues

In summary, the conversation is about a DSL modem connected to two PCs, with one PC sharing internet with the other. The first PC works fine, but the second PC is experiencing problems such as disconnection from Messenger every 50 seconds and difficulty accessing certain websites. The issue may be related to the use of MSN Messenger 6.1, but the problem is eventually fixed when it is discovered that the IP addresses were in conflict with a LAN card. The conversation ends with the participants expressing gratitude and making new friends.

What messenger are you using ?
Did you change some of its options in its properties ?

Anotherpossibility is that you may not be allowed to keep using it to send messages to different people anymore... :smile:

I think messenger is actually not that necessary, if you want to search the net, just search on what you look for with search engine...

How can I check if my DSL modem is functioning properly?

To check if your DSL modem is functioning correctly, you can first try resetting the modem by unplugging it from the power source and plugging it back in after a few seconds. You can also check the lights on the modem to see if they are displaying any error codes. Additionally, you can connect your computer directly to the modem with an Ethernet cable to see if you can access the internet.

What should I do if my DSL modem is not connecting to the internet?

If your DSL modem is not connecting to the internet, first try resetting the modem and checking the cables. If that doesn't work, you can try accessing the modem's settings to make sure the correct login information is entered. You may also need to contact your internet service provider to ensure there are no outages in your area or issues with your account.

Why is my DSL modem connection speed slow?

You can try updating your modem's firmware, disconnecting other devices from your network, or contacting your ISP to see if there are any known issues in your area.

How can I improve my DSL modem connection speed and stability?

To improve your DSL modem connection speed and stability, you can try relocating the modem to a central location in your home, using a microfilter to reduce line interference, or upgrading to a newer and faster modem model. You can also consider switching to a different internet service provider that offers better speeds and reliability in your area.
