sup guys

got a friend whose internet has been a bit word for the last few days. msn works fine but any browser says the connection was reset. he can't ping google.com as that says request timed out too. i already told him to try flushing the dns but that hasn't worked either.

it's worth noting he's ... "borrowing?" a neighbour's wireless

suggestions appreciated guys

karma for answers

Call ISP to reset the connection.

I don't understand. Hes Internet isn't working and hes borrowing neighbor's OR hes doesn't have Internet and hes just borrowing his neighbor's Internet.

lol. Stealing wireless? Probably bad or weak signal strength.

But it's been fine for a year+ it's just the last few days it's been doing it. and surely if it was a weak signal msn wouldn't work either?

Maybe some software crap messing up the connections? I would try Crap Cleaner.

Exactly why I secure my network.

Like what was said above, if its not your connection, you can't do much about it.

Refreshing your equipment (Reinstalling adapter's drivers/ Ip release/renew) might help.
