Firstly :welcome:

Can you give us some more details.

What Modem do you have and how are you connecting USB or Ethernet and what are the status of the lights doing on the Modem when you lose the connection.

:D

:welcome: staple to the forums.

Where in Manchester as I have had no problems tonight.

do a tracert to ntlworld.com
This is mine from tameside area.

this might help us to pinpoint which UBRs you are on.
Or PM your mac addy to BBKing he has a great tool that will check whats happening

Re: Broadband connection problems in manchester
 

Yeah, drop me a note with that - can take a look.

Re: Broadband connection problems in manchester
 

ok m8 iv'e pm details
ain't sure how 2 do a tracert to ntlworld.com
but thanx to the other guys for suggestions

Re: Broadband connection problems in manchester
 

Staple go to

start then click on run select if you use windows 2000 cmd or XP if I remember right has to use command
A dos window will open type tracert www.ntlworld.com then click enter

this will then do the tracert when its completed highlight it all and in the top left corner of the window click and select copy then right click the reply box on this thread and select paste

Hope that helps.. :)

Re: Broadband connection problems in manchester
 

salford

Re: Broadband connection problems in manchester
 

15 mins down the road from me yet I havent any problems. Give BBKing time to monitor the mac address he might spot whats up.

Re: Broadband connection problems in manchester
 

I had exactly the same problem Staple(Wythenshawe), that was until around 2 hour's ago - they seem to have changed my ip address, so i'm not sure what's going on there

Re: Broadband connection problems in manchester
 

yeah seems to be ok now changed my ip aswell
wonder how long its gonna last this time

Re: Broadband connection problems in manchester
 

well connection has gone again after only 1 day this is really starting to pi## me off

Re: Broadband connection problems in manchester
 

can you give us more info than its gone again!

Can you connect at all?

Did you send BBKing you mac address for the SACM over PMs?

Re: Broadband connection problems in manchester
 

yes i did send BBKing details he ain't replyed yet
and the problem is the same as before
seems my ip address changed had a 0 at the end of my ip address this morn instead of a 1 and connection was fine
but now i have a 1 again and got the same probs can go on sites but can't download and msn is on and off like a yo yo

Re: Broadband connection problems in manchester
 

Just which IP address has changed the one you get off the internet
can you please do another test for me.

Go to start click on runthen command or cmd for windows 2kwhen the dos window opens type ipconfig all
you should then get a list of all IP numbers like this;

Kits,

No need to censor the second pairing in the MAC address, that is part of the manufacturer's prefix and is the same for all equipment made by that company most likely.

Nor is there any need to censor any of your private IP address, there's only the one private range in the 192 group and what you are using is given away somewhat by your default gateway, not that this is a security issue really. To exploit based on your inside IP is hard.

Should save you a few seconds next time you do all that.

Re: Broadband connection problems in manchester
 

I live in Manchester and I had the same problem last night. Internet went offline every 3 minutes, had to keep repairing the connection. Fine today though.

Re: Broadband connection problems in manchester

Re: Broadband connection problems in manchester
 

Don't wonder just enjoy the connection and worry when its down. :D
