Im experiencing connectivity problems with my high speed internet. It started about 5 days ago. I assumed at first that my router had somehow gone bad since all my computers were experiencing it so I unplugged my linksys router. With being only plugged into my desktop I started to notice the same problems. I reformatted my desktop, added a new NIC, reconfigured the network devices, and stared blankly in a completely lost fashion at my computer. I didn't install or change anything prior to the problems on any computers and didn't change any network settings. Had a series of power outages, but thats it.
Things Ive noticed:
·Webpages wont load and when they do, often they stop halfway through the process. The first attempt to connect will often be met with an error message that reads something along the lines of cannot find website
·When I unplugged the cable from my desktop and double checked to see if the problem was specific to one computer on my laptop (which has only office on it and I use exclusively for typing papers) I found that in ipconfig two separate ips were listed on the different computers
·While watching the patterns of what was happening on the desktop computer I hit ipconfig twice over five minutes only to see that the DNS suffix had been dropped
·When I connected my laptop with the internet cable which I switched directly from the back of my desktop and I refreshed my connection in ipconfig it did not grab either a default gateway or a DNS suffix
·When I measured download speed an hour ago I had full data transfer, at this current point none of the three computers here can get online at all.
·I have been able to get online at times to certain extents. I have been on IRC chatting yet been unable to get in IE, firefox, aim, yahoo, or anything else. This is true of both laptop and desktop.
·When I try to refresh/renew my IP in cmd sometimes I get the error An error occurred while renewing interface local area connection: unable to contact you DHCP server. Request has timed out
·Sometimes when I release my IP it fails to release the IP or the subnet mask. True on both laptop and desktop.
·Ive had trouble logging into my cable modems ip from both computers that shouldnt occur, as its an internal ip.
Note:
·My laptop connects fine on other internet connections
