I'm getting tired of this.

To clarify, I have a wireless Internet connection. At parts of the day, it would act up and display this screen for several seconds. And then it shows another screen telling me that "the problem is resolved. Close down the browser". It it would go on-and-off for several minutes.

I wanted to ask this in Quickie Questions, but I always get drowned out there, and I don't think there's a Technical Help thread. So, help on fixing this problem before it screws me over?

-sigh-

Well, there's the standard 'clear your cache', 'restart your router', 'check your router settings', etc., etc., but other than that, I am not sure what else to tell you because I get my internet from Buckeye Cablesystem, which is only available to residents of northwest Ohio and parts of Michigan.

I honestly wish I had more to offer, but... sorry.

Do troubleshooting on your end, and then if it's still broken, complain to AT&T.

Insert witty and clever quip here. My page, as the database hates my handle.

Have you tried enabling/disabling ipv6 addressing? Some time ago, I was having trouble (not sure if of the same sort, but could be) and that resolved the issue. I am not sure where you can find the option on your browser, but you should be able to find it by googling.

I hope it helps!

But they seem to know where they are going, the ones who walk away from Omelas.

Usually when you get that screen, it means that whoever provides your internet is having problems. I live in a rural area, and I get a screen like that whenever a big storm downs one of their connections.
