Ok I got this stupid router from Vonage, which was working fine up until now. It seems snitz is the only site I have access to on the whole freakin internet, which frankly is starting to get to me.
I feel like bashing the router & modem between my monitor and computer, leaving me with nothing but a printer, BUT AT LEAST IT WILL WORK RIGHT...
man this is the wrong time for this to happen, I havnt slept in like 36 hours and I dont feel like staying up for another 2 hours playing with the stupid freakin internet connection. I know nothing of networks or networking...
Stupid computer...
End of rant... if it even gets posted with this half-butted stupid router... |

Why... why why why why why why... Now there is a new icon beside my "Local Area Connection" in Network Connections called "Internet Connection" - which was never there before, I dont need that... that is likely the cause of this whole mess, I want it gone but it wont go away.
I try to disable it, and it says "It is not possible to disconnect at this time. The connection is currently busy with a connect/disconnect operation"
How can you call it a connection when its not even "connected"
I cant delete it
I cant do anything with it....
What I really dont understand is why snitz is the only freakin website on the entire internet that I can seem to get to right now.
*1 nerve away from getting a hammer and ending it* |

I struggled with a Dell router for days, until I finally called the helpdesk and it turned out it was defective :S They sent me a new one and it's working fine now.
The 'Internet Connection' thing shows that you are connected through a gateway (the router) - There's no need to get rid of that. |

You have UPnP enabled will be why, it will be a router setting, turn it off. |

I dont know why or how, but now it works fine (to my knowledge)... I gave up on it last night and went to bed, woke up and came out to mess with it, and its working fine.
hrmmmm |

If your router doesn't work you can do what is called a 'power cycle' - Turn off your computer, unplug your router (power + LAN), unplug your modem (power + LAN), wait for a few minutes and turn everything back on in reverse order. This has always worked for me. |

I had a TON of issues with my router until I did a firmware update. Now the thing works flawlessly and when it does seem to have an issue the firmware update gave me a reset button in my admin panel that I can just click and everything works again.
But before that update...... I was loading the shotgun.... |
