Major network problems?

Question

Recently I had my wireless network go haywire. I recieved a notice stating that I needed an update and the next thing you know my high speed shutdown. I have one of those converters from phone to DSL. It goes to a box and then to a wireless network. I decided to change carriers and I am having a new cable wire installed on Monday. I also upgraded my security to a 2007 model. I kept getting scripting errors on my screen and my Internet Explorer wouldn't function, now I am on a back up version of AOL dial up. Everything works fine on Dial up. Was my DSL provider the problem or was the cable line from phone to DSL junk? Will the new cable solve my problems?

Answer 1

You know what? I can't understand much of what you say because much of it is unrelated thoughts. No one can tell you what the problem is/was without physically checking out your connections.

these days you either have to get educated about networks yourself or pay people to diagnose problems.

Answer 2

Snvffy is probably right. You need to be clear on what the problem is now.

It seems you have already decided to change the carried believing that this is the problem. Let us know if this solves it!

Script errors are usually problems with the PC so I doubt if this will solve your problem. AOL operates its own browser so your test with AOL would not have told you of problems with IE.

Your best bet would be to do a windows update and check if everything is up-to date. Failing that you would need a professional "house call".

Good luck!

A new cable might solve your problems, but it could very well be your DSL connection, DSL modem, or any other parts of the system.
