Why does my 1200 baud modem take 4 weeks to connect to the internet?

Cuz the little mouse that runs on a treadmill to make the internet is getting tired.  Try putting some cheese in the modem to motivate him.

If you switch of your modem and leave for 5 Min's and then switch back on and leave for another 5 Min's, it should find its settings.\n\nHope this helps.\n\nGood Luck.

i think your modem or something has a problem\n\nor for example, if you have comcast internet, the comcast people might be having problems or something\n\njust try again later cause that is what i did, but you have to fully shut of your computer and modem first

try contacting your ISP or internet service provider. there might be some problem with the lines that's why you are experiencing intermittent connection to the internet.

I had exactly the same problem, call the 1800 number.  It may also be a problem with your modem.

keep logs of your ip changing. plug in your modem, log your ip, turn it off tfor 60 second (no less) do it again.\n\nyou might have configured your modem wrong.

No, it dont take long time, u just check in the connection preferences... and set according to ur current settings ie no firewall, proxy, proxy but no firewall etc. sometimes it happens that u select a wrong option and it takes more time to connect.. just chk it..

Turn off your Cable/DSL modem for five minutes or so, while it's off turn off your wireless router for a while.  Turn it back on try connecting to the internet.\n\nSometimes home equipment has to be turned off and given time enough to cool down.

Just get a good,reliable and inexpensive isp that doesn't require you to install their software to connect. Connection software along with accelerators will slow you down.

Its because the connection speed between the laptop or what ever wireles device you are using is slower (54Mb per sec) where as if it is wired its generally 100Mb per sec.\nthats if ur talking about download speed, web browsing etc etc?\nhope that answere things

Try switching of your modem for 5 Min's that sometimes helps.

your speeds are limited to the hardware that you have. there is a delay in each networking device your information travels through, however, if you are using a broadband router, there is nothing you can do about this, if you are using a commercial grade router you might consider changing routing protocols, or changing the hold down timers, this will help open up your network so that updates on routes are sent as often, however, it could cause it to take longer to know when something has gone down.
