<div class="IPBDescription">Running a Toshiba Modem, please help.</div> My cable internet has degraded in the past month to below the service of phone line. I actually <i>want</i> phone line instead of this pile of junk, its <i>that</i> bad.

I dont know my OP system specs, because is was a christmas gift, and its custom built. But I can read the little labels outside of the computer...heres what they are...

AMD Athlon Processer XP
Nvidia Grapics Card
MSI Multimedia
Creative Sound Blaster Surround Sound

Thats really all I know. The choke when I type in net_graph 3 goes up to seventy or higher most of the time, and loss goes to about three to five points. I also run on USB, not lan line, as my custom built computer doesnt have a lan line connecter or whatever, its just a dark hole back there, nothing to plug it into.

I'm running the cable with a toshiba modem. Its the grey one, PCX1100U are the numbers on it. Can anyone help? I'm going to attempt to run this thing on NS. If any help is offered thankyou.

    Well... to find out your system specs, goto Start, run then type "dxdiag" without the quotes. It will also tell you how much capacity your video, cpu etc has.

    And merry christmas !

    So you are saying that the only thing wrong with your cpu is your cable connection?

    edit: hahahaha i have way to much time i clicked refresh 50 times and now your post has been viewed 53 times yay for me <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I'll run that now, but man this is slow. My grand parents have cable as well, and its amazing. Absolutly amazing. I think I'll try to go there and run Half-Life on their computer, but eh, I might not lol. I dont think I'm that desperate yet, nor do I think that their computer would support Half-Life, although I'm really not sure.

    Yes, cable is my only problem. Just so you know, it took me a minute just to get to the reply page. It took fourty five seconds the first time I clicked it, and it went to a "page not found" page, I clicked back, then clicked it again, and after extensive waiting, it came up. Jeez, bout time. Let me go run that program real quick. And why did you say merry christmas? Eh, I dont want to know, hold on, program running time.
