Title: Internet Problems
Post by: Rash on January 10, 2011, 07:20:30 pm
So, I've been having this issue for a while now with my internet.

It's an issue with websites often not properly loading, they seem to "time out" after I request the pages multiple times.

Examples:

If I google search images, it only loads up one page of images. If I search images again later, the page doesn't load and says the page is not available. When I try again later, it works again, but the same thing happens.

4chan boards never load any images on the actual forum pages, I need to click them to actually see them. Here's what I mean:

The Iron Edge forum pretty much had the same issue for a while, but it seemed to have gone away some while ago. Possibly after Delling registered it as iron-edge.co.uk, and not the xoops stuff anymore, but I'm not exactly sure about this, as the forum usually took some time before I couldn't access it anymore for a while.

I've tried multiple browsers, and they all have the same issue. I notice no difference in latency in for example WoW, and I also have no trouble loading other websites while I'm not able to load this specific one.

I also have the same issue on my laptop, and I don't have it when I'm on the schoolnetwork. So it must be an issue with my home connection.

Anyone know what's causing this and/or how to fix it?

Try changing your DNS servers?

I use Google's -- 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

You can change it on your router, or on your local network interface.

Like Grax said.

Do you have a Belkin aka Hellkin router by any change?
If so, smash hellkin against wall and buy cisco.(linksys)

I wouldn't go as far as buying a new router.

I like Delling's suggestion, it's simple and worth the try. If the problem persists you should probably run a traceroute to the server you're trying to access and then call/mail your isp with the results. It may be a simple routing issue from your place.

The only thing thats bugging me about it is the way it drops the internet connection randomly if something is connected to it through wifi :/

Strangely my laptop internet works perfectly fine, 2 stories above the router and it never drops on wireless.. I feel the universe is gonna take revenge on me soon for this..

Anyway! Good news, both resetting, and using googles DNS change worked! thanks for the help guys, this shit was such a pain in the ass <3

EDIT: I actually do have a Belkin, lol
