[HELP]Very weired Internet problem

looks like a faulty line. packets being dropped at an incredibly high rate cos u have an incredibly unreliable line and so only services which send packets unordered and which can tolerate packet loss.

hard to say without more info, but the 100% connectivity in PS goes against this.

OR------

some of ur ports could just not be functioning. try to do a port scan. if the lower numbers fail then thats it.

really your isp, fucking hell they should fix this.

Well #1 Try a direct connection which I'm sure you already did (aka get rid of the router and just plug your modem directly into your PC. If that doesn't work you can fiddle around with all the stuff someone suggested or just get them to send a tech because there is a good chance the modem is fried. Any storms in your area recently?

just run some water over your computer its probably overheating

finally someone banned your dumbass from the internet

I do have also have a router but im not using it at the moment to keep things simple.

@CrownRoyal
I just did press the small button on the modem w a pencil and nothing happens.
I also did the flushdns thing in cmd.
Zero success so far.

@Genjix
In PS it actually say that no package gets lost!
How can I scan the ports?

@Yanchi
How can I setup this DNS thing?

This sounds like a very classic case of virus infection, likely redirecting your URL requests for whatever reason. Have you run a quality virus scanner on your pc yet? Go grab yourself a copy of kaspersky right now. In fact, do it from someone elses pc and throw the shit on a thumb drive to transfer to your machine. Often these infections which hijack your internet have rogue sites set up to look like legitimate anti-virus sights, further infecting you as you think you are surfing symantec.com and are really on a cloned site.

But how come all three computers have the same exact problem?

I have also checked and the internet transfer rate(KBin/out) is around 1/20th of what it is normally.

might be wmi corruption

What is this and how can I know for sure?
Just point out again that the problem is not only to one computer.

you dont have a virus they are retarded.

hold in the reset button on ur modem until shit starts flashing. But plz before you do it make sure you know your PPP stuff for the username/password and not the one to log into ur modem's specs i'm talking about the one that grants you access to the internet from within ur modem.

also, do you have a router??? If so i wanna make ur modem work in bridge only and setup the PPPoE from the router

I have NO IDEA what you are talkin about. What us ppp??
and what username pass you are talking about?

sigh

Can someone tell me first where the problem is?

Try calling the ISP again, it sounds like they are fucking with the lines or something. I cant imagine a virus being this selective it allows connections on wireless but shuts down dsl.

I had a weird problem like this about 2 years back. There was a problem with the actual phone line, and the tech came and had to go into the phone room in my building, and then deal with it. Afterwards it started to work again. Just call a tech imo.

oh I didnt notice you had mulitple pc's behind a router that also cant connect. If you dont know enough about how to configure PPP on a dsl line or how to adjust any other settings you need to just tell your ISP that your shit is down and they had better fucking fix it or else youll just cancel and switch.

I called them again and now they are sending me a new DSL modem!
I REALLY doubt this will fix anything but its free they told me.
Now Im left a week without internet!

I really doubt that the cause of the problem is in the house anyway.

Capaneo, you can try some of these -> http://theos.in/windows-xp/free-fast-public-dns-server-list/
Bottom of the page also contains links where you can find exactly how to change DNS servers. But as I read this thread, I doubt it'll work.. But at least give it a shot

@capaneo
go to services
see if your wmi has been started
also check if your internet gateway is "connected"

also, just reinstall windows. usually it is the easiest fix

Thanks everyone.

Just now after two days the way suddenly internet stoped working since 5min ago it is back working normal again(I think cause I havent checked out the speed ect...)

I got a brand new free modem+router for my two days of trouble though
