ok, the problems started Saturday night. My comp would suddenly tell me that there was no network cable connected to it.... the internet connection was kicking me out every 30 seconds.... Well, shit, I thought.
Took the comp to my parents' and a friend's house yesterday, hooked it up to the network.... it worked just fine. What the hell?
My guess was then that there was something wrong with the cable at home.
Got home today, hooked up the comp.... nothing happend. I couldn't even CONNECT to the internet. not even for 30 seconds.
I changed the cable (I had a spare one)....nothing.
Re-installed the software. Nothing.
Changed the ethernet cable to a USB cable.....re-installed the software. Nothing.
*insert colorful swear words here*
It must be the modem, which I've only had for two freaking months.
Called the tech support, got put on hold for I don't know how long, finally talked to someone who then told me that they would have a technician call me within the next 2 to 3 days to make an appointment to look at it. Great.
Appointment this week? Not very likely. Appointment next week? Maybe.... *aaaaaaaaaaaaaarghhhh*
I'm paying a freaking lot of money for a connection I can't use. And I'm paying now for the dial-up connection I have to use in order to at least get my email. *cries* no fair....
So, yeah. you won't see me online for I don't know how long....-_-"
