Well, dsl and dial up are pretty slow and old so you might want to get a new computer soon.

you actually think i got the money to do all of this? if i did, i would go to a computer shop and pay to have it fixed up.

karma, theres too many idiots here, help me, i lost.

What you should do is call your service provider being your provider with dsl. They should help you. Also what I dont understand if you had dsl why did you switch to aol? Anyhow whoever was paying for the dsl line probably stop paying the bill resulting in termination of your dsl line. So whoever paid for aol now needs to cancle the aol membership and pay the bill for the dsl line.

His computer is not broken, Idiot. It's just his modem is not working...

You should do what Zpower said...call the toll free number also make sure you installed ur modem properly and everything is plugged in and that the phone line itself is working.

HELLOTHERE · 02-07-2004, 05:27 PM

LOL TOLLFREE NUMBER. They have been calling my house for the past week or 2 but my refuses to answer them unless they leave a messages.

Let me think this straight !

- You got your DSL modem up and running.
- you configured your internet connection for it to be used.
- You tryed to connect thru it to the internet.
- it answered, "There was no answer"

POSSIBLE PROBLEMS:
- the ISP changed their numbers which means the number you dialed is wrong making the modem not getting any answer from the number you called.
- You dialed the wrong number and no one answered !

POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS:
- Check out the number you dialed and make sure it was the right number to call for it to connect !
- Contact your INTERNET DEALER and verify the number witht hem !

if any more problems comes up, they are the one better suited to answer your call, form you told us, the only possible solution in both cases is to check the number you are dialing to see if it is correct !

Hope ya get it fixed, DSL is still better then a normal phone line !

PS:
HELLOTHERE: you are a complete moron, DSL is one of the most used internet connection even by today's CABLE connections which are still too damn high price wise and yet DSL is the most used alternative !

Buying a new computer is never an option, or is used as very very very very last resort ! so yeah, you are the moron !

I got verizon online dsl with msn8 and I don't got problems with it. Well that last time I got that blaster worm thingy Ive been having problems setting up my dsl modem but now I don't experince any problems with it my computer works well since its 1 year old. I mean trust me sooner or later your computer will start to lose its memory and crash often I mean I had an old computer but I sold it and I got a dell computer dell is the best computer since it has pentium4 processor. Yea I think you should buy a new computer if I were you I get a labtop.

Mr. Big · 02-07-2004, 10:29 PM

december 1-6: i discovered dsl service stopped.
january 5: i started AOL services to stay online and stop going to the library, hoping the 2 months are free...

its now february and i gotta cancel this AOL. i keep gettin knocked offline and yelled at for tying up the line. my mom got dsl to use the phone while i on and now she sayin the bill is 300+. once i get a job i gonna investigate this. thx karma, i contact the IPS once i can get the bill payed off cause it would still authenicate but not surf, now it wont authenicate.

to u pple saying get a new PC: I NOT RICH!!!!!!!!!!

its not like gettin a loaf of bread. my mom got a busted up car and needs the cylinder head gasket replaced. do u know what can happen when it goes bad? and think about the cost and the LABOR. i dont got the time nor the money to buy a new PC. i need a ####ycycle cause mine got stolen sunday oct 12 2003 4pm, 4 days after my b-day, at the library and we still payin off bills, not to mention the 950 rent increase in march while her paycheck is 900 every other week. so dont tell me to replace my entire PC, its windows XP.
