Re: OT: Somthing ODD
Could your ISPs DNS server be playing up?
Though, it shouldnt really affect your DSL router if it was

Re: OT: Somthing ODD
Well the tech support lady I have now just told me that it was my internet explorer that is causing the problem. So I tell her that "the problem is with all of my computers including my wireless LapTop and that it occurring with both IE, Netscape, and Firefox." Then she asks me what anti-virus I am using. I tell Nortan on hall PC, Trend on the lap top, and AVG on this one. Then she puts me on hold. That means she doesn't want to deal with the problem and figures I will stay on old until I get tired and hang up.
Since I cannot access the functions on my DSL router, that to me means that my DSL router is screwed up.
God I hate Qwest customer service. I have now been on hold for 10 minutes.

Re: OT: Somthing ODD
Ok this is very weird. So the tech lady has me enter CMD into my run option. Then she had me enter tracert www.dell.com and it did nothing but stated "unable to resolve target system"
Then when I typed dell.com into my browser, (FF) it loaded the page. So I tried www.dslreports. Got a 404. So I did the tracetr www.dslreports.com and it brought up a lot of information. Afterward I was able to access dslreports.com with FF.
The tech lady still doesn't believe that the problem is my DSL router, but I do. She says its all green on her end. However how would you explain this? I mean none of my PC's including the wireless could access these sites.
She is bumping it up to another department. I am back on hold.

Re: OT: Somthing ODD
It had to be either the DSL router or something local within the BB system. Now I can access EVERY site. This is very very odd.
A hick up in the system perhaps? I am still on hold.

Re: OT: Somthing ODD
Well she finally came back and told me that it is a system problem on their end and they will call me back later. At least now I can access my banking site and see how much money I don't have left to spend.  Cost me $55.00 to fill up yesterday. We poor folks don't have that kind of money.

$55 USD would maybe fill 1 1/2 of the 2 fuel tanks on my vehicle. Any medium/large sized vehicle easily can eat that much per fill up.
Sorry to derail your thread AT, but I honestly had nothing productive to add

$55/$3.50 per gallon = 15.7 gallons
Well within the capacity of many ordinary vehicle fuel tanks. |
