unable to connect to internet

by souk47 . Updated 19 years, 2 months ago

hi there.

i’m on a dell latitude d400 laptop running xp pro, and i’m having problems connecting to the internet.

normally, i get online at starbuck’s using my t mobile account. yesterday, i tried to do this and had problems.

initially, i logged on and got about 30 minutes of surfing time no problem.

after that, it started to “stick”, i.e. bps going out but not coming in. errors indicating server had timed out. i asked around and no one else was having a problem but me.

i took it somewhere else with free access. similar problem. very slow and sticky.

another starbuck’s. even worse. now not logging on at all. no data going out or in.

today, connected to my friend’s cable modem to see if his broadband worked. it didn’t.

in every case, i’ve tried both ipconfig/ release and renew, as well as manually configuring, allowing the facility to repair itself, disabling/re-enabling, etc.

nothing seems to be working.

any thoughts?

thanks

lenora
