Computer sometime does not connect to the internet?

Question

I have a newer dell and a bellsouth dsl modem and atleast a couple times a day the internet will just not load. most of the time i restart the modem and open network connections and click repair connections and it works but i am sick and tired of the internet not working. please help me fix this problem.

Answer 1

It sounds like you modem has bite the dust. Call Bellsouth and ask them for a new modem. Mine bite the dust 3 years ago and all I had to do was send them the old one when the replacement came in. Since I changed the modem, my internet has never stopped working.

Answer 2

It could be anything, noise on the phone line, a bad ethernet cable, bad ethernet port, you name it. I would start by having the dsl line checked to rule that out, they can run a sweep on it over the phone, just call them as ask them to do it. Also make sure your filters are good!
