Repeating "timing out" problem Jan 18, 2009 17:50:40 GMT -5

There's a problem with my internet connection which has been gradually driving me mental.

Regardless of whether I use Internet Explorer or Firefox, sometimes (about twice a day usually) I click on a link to a different website and in the bar at the bottom of the window I'll get the message;

"Connecting to website name*..."

And as soon as that comes up, I know my internet's gone suddenly. By that I mean that no other website will work, I will just get "Connecting to..." and then eventually the Timed Out screen.

Somehow Windows Live Messenger isn't affected by this - I can still talk to people over it.

Had the problem for a couple of years now, I'm on Vista but I had the problem with my old XP computer. I'm living at home - my dad has an XP computer downstairs and it happens to him sometimes too.

If one computer gets the problem, it affects the other computer too.

The way we fix it is by turning off the power to the router, waiting about twenty seconds, then plugging it in again. It's still annoying though.

We're with Virgin Media if that's any help!

I suggest contacting your ISP and going from there.

doesnt sound like a virus to me the fact it affects both comps and clears when you reboot the router sounds like a router problem

i get the same every few days my router is a netgear from sky going into the diagnostics screen by typing 192.168.0.1 into the browser and then rebooting it usually works

i agree you should contact your isp

be interested to hear their answer

themasterplanet: A Northern Soul by The Verve! My second favourite album by them. I love the atmosphere of it, it’s very dreamy and melancholic and dark. It holds many memories for me and I think that’s partly responsible for why I love it so much. Sept 6, 2024 18:57:34 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Up in the Sky sounds like the La's on steroids, especially that Liam Falsetto that I can almost picture Lee Mavers singing with all his big teeth showing Sept 12, 2024 7:52:29 GMT -5

Bring It On Dan: I have so much shit on an old hard drive somewhere but I just cannot find it. Nothing 'out there' but probably 200 gigs or so. I can't remember the name of the site that had all the gigs listed and sources for loads of gigs next to it? I remember RKID 003. Sept 24, 2024 17:34:46 GMT -5

mimmihopps: Bring It On Dan, it must be sadsong.net. I don't know if the site still exists. Sept 25, 2024 7:20:44 GMT -5

gottabecrazy: RKID003 was a great resource, they shared a lot there there really. I wish something similar could be up again. Sept 25, 2024 17:50:23 GMT -5

PollyWantsACracker: Been off the site for over half a decade, good to see it still going strong after all these years. Good to be frickin back again eh. I thought of the place after hearing today from a friend that Oasis is back in business again. Sept 26, 2024 17:07:27 GMT -5

RUBIKON: I'm gonna restart the Oasis MP3 Archive is anyone's intersted in helping? I ran it in 2000 to 2002 and was a great site. Used to use mIRC to get all the boots. I'll build the site, just need links to one drives and files. PM me if you fancy helping out Sept 29, 2024 8:31:27 GMT -5
