Hey all-
Tried getting online this morning (made about 20 tries over the
span of 2 hours). Are there any folks in the group who can explain
why I can't seem to get the right connection? The modem dials in,
and it says I'm online, but under status details, it only says "184
bytes received", and that's all I can get. No webpage comes up (I
get a message saying "Cannot find server"). Is it coming from my
end, or my ISP's? It's seriously beginning to piss me off. A lot.
It's not like I get online all that often; I'd like to be able to
friggin' connect when I get the opportunity to actually get online.
Any ideas?
I'm going to use the remainder (about 10 minutes) of my lunch break
to read through some of the messages and make notes of which ones
need replies. Since I'm on DSL now (at work), I'll be logging on
whenever I get the chance to do so, in an effort to finish up what I
tried to do this morning.
So, once again, here we go...

There is a possibility that I thought of. I had trouble getting online
before, to the exact point of your current state. The first thing I have to state
is that you should never use any phone cord directly to your Modem, always
use the one that comes with the modem. I don't feel that's the problem, but I
do believe it could be the socket. At one time last year, it turned out that
the wiring in the outlet for the Phoneline was screwed to all Hades. My father
fixed it up & I was back online soon afterwards. I recommend that you pull
the sucker off the wall & give it a look over.
