Posted September 9, 200519 yr Ok i got a problem with my internet connection, maybe someone here knows more about this since i tried everything i can think of and it still wont work. Problem: whenever i upload more than 1/2 mb my internet connection just dies, i have to reconnect to make it work again. i have a cable connection with a 3com OfficeConnect cable/dsl gateway (3c855) and a 21com router. I tried installing firmware and fucking around with router settings but it doesnt seem to work. Strange thing is everything worked fine when i bought these things. This shit started like 3 months ago and i cant think of a good reason for this problem. I hope someone can help me with this cause i sure need to upload files in the future. thanks in advance.
September 9, 200519 yr Try bitching to your ISP. If they've capped your upload/download to a certain filesize, it might have something to do with it. Not really sure though, sounds really odd, especially if it's at an exact file size.
September 9, 200519 yr Disconnect your Router first, then Cable Modem. Then plug in your Router then Cable Modem. See if that works. If not, hold the reset button on the back of your Router for 10 seconds and then check. If it still dosen't work, go upgrade your Firmware. If you still fail, then purchase a new Router/Cable Modem.

Or instead of getting a new route if you end up replacing it, use an old piece of shit computer and turn it into a router with Linux.
September 10, 200519 yr What happens when it "dies"? Can you still ping the default gateway(probably router)? Or external IP addresses? Isolating what is actually dying might shed some light.
