I'm not that great with computers.

I know how to fix things on the computer, not in them. And even then, after nearly 10 years of using a computer every day of my life, I'm sitll not that good at fixing things. Sometimes, I got no fucking idea what's wrong. This is one of those times. I need a little help and advice.

Okay so, to be blunt, my internet is dying a lot. And it's not dying as in cutting out, it's dying as in "Well it SAYS the internet is connected but nothing works". Some other times, it says the internet is connected, but only instant messengers work. I cannot connect to webpages or video games or anything. There is no way to fix this, I just have to wait for up to five minutes until the internet fixes itself. Highscore is 15 minutes.

So why is it doing this? I don't think it's my computer, because it doesn't normally do this. I go home, and the internet works perfectly fine. I go to college, it doesn't. It doesn't work properly in the coffee shop downtown either though, so I dunno. Other people I talk to here don't seem to have this problem, it's just me.

Any ideas or suggestions of anything I can try to make this issue go fuck itself? Cause seriously, it's getting annoying.

My first thought is that it could be an ISP issue. My ISP (CenturyLink) will sometimes refuse to let me on for a whole day. Maybe some equipment at your ISP isn't allowing everything through.

Yeah but why would they keep me from doing this and not everyone else? I don't do anything crazy (we're not able to torrent here so I don't even bother), and I know others who are on the internet even more than me. Why would they single me out?

My first thought is a DNS issue, but then you say instant messaging protocol (i.e. traffic not on port 80) works fine sometimes...

Well, it really sounds like a DNS issue. The reason that IM still works could be because the connection is already establisned, while loading a webpage implies making a new connection.

Try changing your DNS servers to something else (Like Google's DNS) and see if it helps :)

I switched my DNS servers over to Google's, and it's still fuckin' up. As a matter of fact right now, it's happening. I'm currently typing with fucked up internet.

If it'll help anyone diagnose what's going on, when I'm playing games and the internet dies, most of the time I can still see things that are going on around me, but I can't do things. Like, I can hear people talking in TF2 (my messages are garbled junk), and I can see other champions move around in League of Legends (but I can't, and my ping shoots up to 7000).

Hmm.. You done a long ping test at all?
If you do around 100~200 pings, you'll find out if you've got a major packet loss problem or not.

I've done ping tests but they seem fine.... Then the internet dies and the tests won't even connect so there's no way to test em.

When I'm playing games, ping is fine until the internet disconnects. Then I see what everyone else is doing but I can't do anything, and my ping shoots from 60 to 8000.

I don't have too many internet issues but recently as of this afternoon I've been having network issues with my phone and tried restarting it and everything.

The internet works perfectly on it but yet I can't call. What the heck?! Isn't that the purpose of the phone and not just recording me rambling on to myself? lol

Depends on if you are connecting wired or wireless. Wireless is less stable sometimes and can drop randomly. If you are using ethernet it's a little easier to diagnose as most computers have activity lights and you can see if you are getting random physical disconnections. Check for viruses, if you are using Virtual Box or any other VM software that taps into the network, try remove it to see if it's an odd driver conflict.

I guess that's a good start. See if any of that helps. If you are the only one among your whole family sharing the internet, than it's probably something with your computer to between your computer and the router. If others are having an issue that it's the router or ISP..

Ah, wireless.

When I lived on campus back in 2005, the wireless was horrible and would often shut off for 15-60 minutes at a time. Then after a while, someone installed a password-protected router, and after that my computer always tried that router first since it was faster, of course failing to connect, and there was no way to override that. So it took even longer to get an actual connection after that.

Wireless seems to work better these days, at least.

Yeah mine's wireless too. Maybe I should get an ethernet cord, anyone know how much they'd cost? *looks around room for Ethernet plug*

The Ethernet plug isn't usually in your wall. You use the Ethernet cord to connect your computer with your modem, and your modem connects to the wall with whatever kind of cord (cable, DSL phone, etc.).

Some dorms are set up with an Ethernet plug in the wall that connects to a central patch panel.

I know my dorm did.

I know, that's why I said "usually" ^_~

I only lived in one place that had that, though, and only for a few months.

Alright! There's two plugs right behind my desk, which is where I keep my computer anyway, so that'd work perfectly! Now I just need some cords. I guess I'll pick em up this weekend, I'm sure there's some at Radio Shack or something.

I suggest getting cabling online if you can wait. If you can't wait to get them online, you may want to check the prices at somewhere like Lowe's. In my experience(and other people's), places like Radio Shack and Best Buy have rather high prices.

For example, Monoprice has 5ft CAT5e patch cables for $1.11 + shipping in single quantities, and Amazon might have even lower prices.

I found a cable back at home and brought it with me to college. I guess it might be my wire router or something cause now it works PERFECTLY and I haven't had any problems yet. I'll letcha know if it fucks up again.

Could be the load at the college if that is the case. We have peak times here that the wireless network and wired network goes odd things under extreme load in the Student Union. However nothing like you've experienced.

Now if your not experiencing anything at the dorm, but do you at home. Could be something to do with the home router..

Nnnnnope! It's still fuckin' up. But now it seems to be fuckin' up in a different way. I don't know, I can't tell if I'm connected through the Ethernet cable or through wireless, does anyone know any way to tell? *is mentally handicapped*
