a second later it says internet connection is now connected. Needless to say it's been making my computer as well as the other computers in the house all work very slow! What can the problem be? we can call Rogers cable..because we're all hooked up to the same internet connection!

if it says "Local Area Connection unplugged" then that isn't a result of bad weather or a problem with your ISP.  The reason this could be is on the switch/hub (whatever you use to connect your computers to the internet) or even the RJ-45 port on your computer might be damaged or not all the way plugged in.  This would cause you to temporarily loose connectivity between your computer and the switch/hub, and the computer would read this as a cable has been unplugged.  There really is no fix to this other than just make sure your cables are plugged in securely to both your switch/hub and your computer.  If this problem persists, look into possibly getting a new network card (can find them at walmart for like $15) or even replace your switch/hub.

Dont let your ISP BS you! I have seen many a case where there was an intemittant connection in cable lines as well as phone lines! If you are sure it aint on your end, tell them either to fix it or you will look for another provider.

The ping requests are timing out. The computer is not getting a response back from the host computer fast enough. This can be caused by a series of possibilies. The first and the easiest to check is the cable going from one computer to the other. Simply by switching the cable one can check this. Two, the host computer isnt fast enough. The network card isn't working properly or a firewall setting or other software is conflicting. Three and still the same. Could be the network card, firewall or software pm the other computer. If this is a dial-up connection this is to be expected as the line cannot handle very much traffic and even one or two backround programs on both computer can "eat" all the bandwidth.If this is a high speed connection then simply installing a router.

Yes, I had the same problem. I did a disk compression and disk defrag last night and it was done in the morning. I tried to log on and I had connecting issues, nothing happened, then boom..it would all of a sudden connect. I thought it had something to do with my disk defrag or something, but it wasnt.\n\nYahoo is just whack that way.\n\nCheck the forum out from yahoo Answers:\nhttp://messages.next.yahoo.com/next/forumview?bn=SEA-YahooAnswers\n\nWe are not alone =)

Are you losing the connectivity from the computer or the ISP? Do you have a Modem and are the link lights on or off (and do they stay on when you try to connect).  You need to start at the source and work to the computer to define the problem.  First be sure of connectivity to your Modem or router -- If this is Okay then replace the cable (cheap and quick) if all is well to the computer it must be in the computer setting -- the best place to start is searching network connection problems and following the direction to investigate the problem.   If you are using "cable" internet those thinks need to be reset all the time under certain circumstances (power everything down for 3 min. and start powering up from the source)

Cable internet access is a Co-Op, meaning the more people sharing the same Broadband will slow it down, particular on some websites. \nHave you tried to download late at night?\nAlso, shut down your computer, unplug the power supply to your cable modem & wait 30 seconds. Plug your modem back in, wait a minute for it to rebuild a CACHE, then reboot your computer. Sometimes the CACHE within your modem fails to fully hand-shake with your computer on boot. Your just re-setting your cache, but it does help at times.

Hi. It sounds like your network card or modem card may be at fault. Can you try removing it and replacing it. If not, go to your control panel, system, hardware manager and uninstall the device in software. Reboot and see if that works. Good luck.

Did you change the NIC? Or is this a new computer?\nCan you ping the modem?\nIf you change out the NIC, they are only $10-15, you may get an easy answer.\nIt could also be the driver for the NIC.\nChanged cable modem?? Why, was the old one bad?\nAre the settings in the modem correct?

Try this list as a step process until it is working:\n\n1) Since it's a dial-up modem, check the phone line with a regular phone to make sure you get a dial tone. Generally this is the reason people get this message.\n\n2) Make sure your ISP setting are correct, try connecting and listen in on the phone line with another phone to make sure that it is trying to connect. If you do not hear the screeching then go onto step 3. If you do then most likely your settings are wrong.\n\n3) Restart your computer. Uninstall the modem software (drivers) and then reinstall the drivers. Also check to see if you have "factory added bonuses," crap the factory adds to your computer like AOL trial or Earthlink trail software. Uninstall that crap. Restart your computer, then reinstall your modem software. It should work now.\n\n4) Make sure in your "Internet Options" that it always dials a connection and the rest of the information is correct. It should be working by now.\n\n5) Give your ISP a call, most have some sort of phone tech support.\n\n6) http://www.funny-games.biz/beatup-pc.html

There's no way to tell. You didn't give enough information. Do you get an "Internet Connection" or a "Network Connection" (those are two different things).  Does your Internet Explorer show any webpages?  If not, then you don't have an internet connection.  If your Network Connections list just shows "Connected" that just means you're connected to a switch/hub or router, not the network.\n\nWhat's the program you're trying to access? Is the room in another building or location?\n\nNo offense, but it sounds like you're in over your head.  Contact your help desk, network administrators, or whomever handles your computers and tell them your problem.  They should be able to fix it.

Did you try going to My Computer?  I used to have a 2000 Millenium edition, so i think they might be similiar.  My computer>Internet connections. That's about it...

There is something wrong with the server that u go through when u connect to the internet.  Nothing u can do about it.  It will be recognised by your service provider and fixed. Usually doesn't take too long.

best idea would be to call the internet service provider to see if they have any problems, and to test the modem, line etc.. \nif thats not a problem dont use the router connect directly and see if the problem still happens if still ongoing, scan for spyware, virus, run all windows updates.
