Computers & Internet - 5 August 2007

I just bought a 2Wire 1800HG WIFI Wireless 802.11 Modem Router AT&T DSL. After some configuration on the setup page, I managed to get all the lights on the modem solid green. I am also able to connect my Playstation 3 online through the modem.

But when I try to connect online with my computer, it gives me a "connecting through WAN miniport (ppoe)" message then just stalls.

I was trying to connect through the same connection I had made from my SBC speedstream modem. Im wondering if I need to delete that and configure a new network connection and how I would go about doing that.

Help?

When my computer was set on dual boot for Windows XP and Linux, I was using GRUB for the boot loader software. Now that I've deleted the Linux partition, I had to fix the MBR, but that didn't seem to work. When I reboot, it comes up with "Error loading operating system" with and without the WinXP disc. I tried using the WinXP repair utility with no luck. What can I do? Thanx!

i think i might have had my upload speed capped im on optimum online..what happens is when i test my speed from a server far from me it is like 400kbps to 900 barely gets that high but when i test it from a ny server which is where i live its in good range but one this one site that just tests it its no where near normal for my connection and ive always tested frequently so i know what is normal for me..but the reason that makes me believe my upload has been capped ive never had those results before plus me and my other computer get disconnected alot from online all the sudden when it happens the modem resets..we just replaced the modem cause cable told us it was our old modem..what im asking is if we were capped if we are using alot of the upload bandwidth can it result in what is happening to us with getting disconnected and the modem resetting

I have tried to install updates for it. The 'genuine' test told me that my copy of windows isn't genuine.
Should I format my PC and reinstall my windows?
If there is a better solution, please contact me.
Thank you :)

I'm buying a new laptop, but I want one that'll be best for what I do in my free time on it.

Well, I'm a student. So I need one with good writing programs, fast IE speed, etc.

And, I'm into graphic design. So, I'd like mine to come with pretty descent programs such as Adobe, Paint Shop Pro, etc.

And, I'm a SIMs gamer. So I'd like one that'll have alot of memory for my game.

At the lowest price I can get. (:
