Whirlpool

Hey guys,

I used to be with westnet and used this notebook in my old house.

I moved out of home and went with Amnet ADSL2+. Same notebook, no fancy software. Pretty clean install Vista 32bit.

When I browse the internet its fine, not a single problem. However when I browse Myspace it will take maybe 5 pages before the internet just drops out completely.

Not the connection to the PC from the router, all other PC's on the network lose the internet aswell. All PC's can still connect to eachother aswell and transfer files.

Im using the Amnet supplied netgear modem, plain modem no wireless and no router.

The modem is then plugged into a TPG Wireless N modem router. I'll also say, that we had a Dlink 4 port router on wire before we got the wireless N, and the issue was still present.

Does anybody have any solutions to this?

Amnets response was 'Deal with it', but at least they sugar coated it. I find it pretty unaceptable considering nobody else gets the fault. Westnet was fine never had this problem. When I was with westnet I dont think I ever called customer support, the damn thing just worked! It literally kills the internet causing me to have to reset the power to the modem.

seems fine here, works first go and no drop-out.

Ehh... it's Myspace. It's not like it's something important, like Whirlpool.

edit: Seriously. If the rest of the internet works fine, why should they run around working out why one person can't access one site, especially when it's probably a firewall on your end or something.

Now now now, that kind of language won't be tolerated here.

I won't reply directly to any of your post, as it'll just get deleted when the moderators get here.

Whatever you may think, my point still stands; if the rest of the internet works, they're not going to troubleshoot one site for one person, even if it is a large popular one.

Seriously. If you stepped back for two seconds and actually recognised it as the (not exactly classy) joke it was, I might be willing to help.

After that juvenile tirade, however, I'm disinclined to assist. Good-day to you sir.

ps: It doesn't sound like you've done any network troubleshooting at all, or at least haven't presented any evidence of it.

*grabs pop corn*

this should be a good one :P

Oh, hey.

There's a whirlpool wiki on this exact topic, if you bothered to check.

Is_this_site_down

(this is the internet, did you really think I could leave it alone?)

oooooo :-D

Yeah, well I guess that reply may have been harsh.

I just see it alot on this forum a 'noob' asking a stupid question with minimal details expecting a 5 page report to fix their problem. Then get heavily abused, ridiculed, blatently dismissed or reponded with a pointless demeaning post by most veterans here.

So I went to the trouble of detailing everything to avoid that kind of response lightguard. Sorry, wasnt meant do offend ... well, yeh i kinda did. But still, sorry.

And yes I have looked elsewhere before posting.

That wiki post, regardless of the fact I havnt checked it before now. Isn't what i'm looking for. The site exists, a connection is present and it loads fine. Then magically out of no where, it can be the first page, it could be the 10th or sometimes it doesnt even happen the connection would completely terminate at the modem when browsing myspace. The connection speed to myspace itself is pretty consistent and decent. Its just for some reason it kills the entire internet at the modem 'magically'. I dont beleive in magic, so I wouldnt mind finding wtf it really is.

NAT Table overflow?

Maybe try lowering MTU to 1454....? Try different hardware? Try with just the Modem and not Wireless Router? Isolate one computer on the Network? etc....

Ok i've just turned my MTU on both modem and router 1454, i'll let you guys know if i get any dropouts throughout the next week, thank you.
