Guest jstich Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 Hello, I have a win 98 se computer .It was working ,but a little slow. So I ran the internet repair program.Now I can't get the modem to ' talk' to the computer.It's a high speed (10 mbps) modem.I have to limit it to 10 mbps, or the internet will switch off, as the building internet guy has it set up that way. Now the modem doesn't even have the one led that used to signify a signal. i've tried re installing it and entering the parameters again with no results. It is a Netgear FA 310 modem.I've tried for hours to get it going again with no luck. Any help is appreciated. -- Posted via http://computerhelpforums.net Forum to USENET Gateway
Guest James Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 Re: netgear FA310 trouble.............. A general rule: if it used to work and now it doesn't, it's probably a software error. With Internet access, it is slightly different. As long as you didn't mess with your connection configuration, and as long as you have paid your bill, you should still have access. It may be worth checking with your ISP to see if there is a reason you don't have access. If they don't report a problem, try completely uninstalling your router or modem and all your internet accounts in Windows, then reinstall and configure. If that doesn't work, your modem may be broken. Borrow a similar modem from someone else if you can, and test it on your computer. If it works then your modem is broken, if it doesn't then you have a more serious software error probably caused by a virus. If the latter is the case, you may want to back up your personal files to CD, wipe your hard drive by deleting your primary partition, creating a new one, formatting and reinstall Windows. This is the last resort. Only reinstall if you know for a fact you are using a modem that works for someone else with the same connection type. It may seem a little extreme to reinstall Windows, but trust me it is faster than diagnosing and fixing a software error of this sort. Hope this helps, sir.

Try booting to safe mode and deleteing all instances of Network adaptors then reboot and install the correct drivers -- Posted via http://computerhelpforums.net Forum to USENET Gateway
