A quick run threw so far,
Linksys A.D.S.L. router as been dropping connection rather a lot recently went on P.C yesterday,clicked internet explorer and it said cannot find server! Done a repair but it still couldnt find a connection so I ran threw everything I could, rebooted router, checked explorer wasnt corrupt but couldnt find anything. Its seems that my p.c is talking to the router but the router isnt connecting to my I.S.P.provider.
My sons P.C also works off of the same router and he uses a differnt browser( but it still isnt connecting to his P.C either) so I rang Tiscali to see if there was a fault on my exchange and they tested my line and it came back ok. I then tried to connect using the tiscali modem, but one of the lights is constantly flashing which seems a fault with the cable. I have rechecked the cable again and get a perfectly good dialingtone and the tech on tiscali said that occasionaly the extension phone lead breaks down and although you are able to get a dialling tone, for broadband it might be damaged!
Does anyone no if this is the case or has had a similar problem? He asked me to purchase a j11 cable and re run that but it would be an absolute nightmare and I am reluctant to do it first without exploring other things first.
I also plugged the router straight in the socket down stairs (bypassing the extension cable) and although the signal strength was there, explorer still couldnt find the server.
Any help would be appreciated as I can fill a very large lump of wood is slowly going to be bashed over it if I cant sort it out!
