If any of the mods want to delete this thread, that's cool, but I wanted some people to see my problem. (Better my chance at getting some much needed help).

Before, I thought it was just a crappy signal from COX, because my TV was fuzzy on the lower channels. Now, my TV is great all the time, but the same symptoms keep creeping up on the internet connection. BTW, I don't use a splitter. The internet connection is in my TV(less) bedroom.


Has anybody had any problems with a Terayon TJ715 modem? Does anybody know any common problems with cable connections that are user related? What could possibly causing my intermittant packet loss problem? I would think that if something was wrong, it would be wrong all the time, and then be fixed, and be fine.

Plane fare for a trip to Scotsdale? Maybe a bit out of my budget, but I like the gesture. Thanks.
The soft batch cookies sound really good though. You may have given me an idea for a half hour from now when my connection will probably go bad again....

That was quick. I'm actually looking a ruler right now, and I'm guessing the cookies I remember are about 2.25" in diameter.

Hey mcan, when your s**t is "down" try this:

First make sure your IP stack isn't f**ked:
C:\ ping 127.0.0.1

Next make sure name resolution in hosts is working:
C:\ ping localhost

Now try to ping the IP address of your gateway. I don't know what that address is but you can get it from here:
C:\ ipconfig /all

If you can ping the gateway the problem is probably their stuff, if one of the first two fails it's probably your stuff.

Um yeah.

thanks for the info. I'm not really educated on what to do with it though. I have a program that I can type web sites into and it'll show a ping plotter. But I don't think that's what you're doing here. These are DOS commands right? I'm not sure how to even get to a DOS prompt...

well I pinged all three of those, and got four out of four packets right back. Perfect. But, like I said, it's obviously working now. (Otherwise we wouldn't be talking)... :(

You aren't using a wireless router are you?

No, but I'm going to be in a couple days. My roommates haven't moved in yet, so I've got the modem all to myself. It goes

Wall --->(via cable) ---> Modem ---> (via USB) ---> Computer. The cords are all good, and From what I can tell, the cable signal is solid. I can imagine an older building getting fuzzy cable signal from time to time, but it would be rare, right? So, I gotta think that the problem is on this end.

Why aren't you using ethernet?

Oops. I am. Nevermind. I get those confused. I almost typed ethernet, but I didn't want to be wrong (and look stupid) so I looked at the back of my modem to see what the jack was labeled. But, I've taken the casing off of my modem. So, I looked on the back of the casing and saw "USB." So I was like, "That sounds right." The other one (the one I use) is labeled "10/100 Base -t." Which apparently stands for Ethernet... :rolleyes:

I'm reeruned...

Just an idea here, but I've spilled a minimum of a casse on my keyboard, have no ****ing clue what I'm doing, and only know rudimentary HTML and I'm still online. Consisstently. Never miss a friggen day.

Mediacom ain't all that, so I'm guessing it's worth the $$$ to shell out more than $800 for a PC...
