My Internet Gets Lost When I Turn On My Pc

How do I turn on wireless internet on my laptop?

There should be a switch on the side slide it back.You may see a light go on signaling that you turned it on. If you still can not find the switch locate the serial # on you laptop and enter on gateway's site it will let you see your manual specific to your laptop and can help you locate the switch (It will also show you how to find your S/N)

You may also want to go to Start->Connect to>Show all connections>Make sure your wireless connection is enabled by right clicking and choosing enable (If disabled)


Good Luck !

Why does turning my NAT off disconnect me from the internet?

Sounds like your computer is using a private IP address (like a 192.168.x.x type address). To put it short, if you have this type of address, and you turn NAT off, you will definitely not be able to get to the internet at all.

In order to change the NAT to 'open' instead of 'strict', you will need to open / forward some ports in your router. Xbox Live uses UDP port 88, TCP port 3074, and UDP port 3074. You will also need to specify the IP address of your Xbox when you are opening these ports. After that, the NAT should show as 'open' in your Xbox.

My internet connection gets slower the longer I am logged in - why?

Wow. that's hard to troubleshoot.

Try to check your HD size and see if it is getting full.
Check your Internet Explorer cache size and see if you can increase the size.
Try shutting down your router/modem for 5-10 minutes, turn it back on and see if that helps.

If none of these help, there might be some spyware/malware on your PC, try going to this website: http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

Other than that, there may be something different going on but that's all I can think of right now.

My ETHERNET connection gets slower as I continue to use it?

First off, I don't want any answers relating to DSL or dial up crap, I don't have that. I'm using a CAT6 ethernet cable connected to my Netgear N600 Wireless Dual Gigabit router, and this is how it happened. One night I was searching on youtube, god tired, turned off the computer and fell asleep, and the next day when I come home from school, My internet gets extremely slow, this was a few months ago, and now after some virus scanning and cleaning, it seemed to fix it, but now it's like mt internet is playing tricks on me to where When I first start google chrome, or any other internet browser, It runs fast, but after 20 minutes or so it slows down, and then to the point where it just gets stuck loading for as long as it can. The only solution is to restart my computer, but it'll still do the same thing: start off fast, and slow down as I contine to use it. I have Windows XP Professional. (yes I still use it). Parents keep telling me its a virus, but after countless times of scanning and cleaning, it hasn't really done anything at all. I also tried it on my other user accounts, and still no good. I need a fix, PLEASE. It also say that it's connected 100mbps, but it's still slow. Sometimes, actually like right now, I'm getting 782,000 packets sent, and then I get 1,000,000 received? How do get more from less? Also Ive done the "unplug router wait 30 secs" thing, thats not the problem since it's only coming from my computer, and everything else is fine. Also I can tell its not the cable since I tested it on my laptop's ethernet port and it works fine. The port on my desktop is fine too, so Its not that. My network adapter is a Nvidia Nforce Networking controller, if that helps. I have power saving off on the adapter, so it doesnt turn off after a given time. And disabling and re-enabling the local area connection doesn;t fix it, it still goes fast and then slow after a while. Keep in mind that one day it was working and the next day it wasn't. I hadn't downloaded anything or made changes to anything on my internet connection on the day it was working, so I don't know what the problem is.
Also, its only on my computer, everything else is fine. And so you don't waste an answer, my computer can only go up to 100mbps on internet speed.

Internet cuts out every night at same time.?

Wow, that last dude is an idiot!

Cox does not reset your modem on a 'schedule'. The only reason a modem would reset is if the signal or modem is having issues. What you need to do is a little troubleshooting yourself first. Check connections, make sure coax is connected securely on both ends, at wall and at modem and if there is a splitter, temporarily bypass it at least for a day or so. And of course all the other connections, power and ethernet. If those are fine, then call them and let them know that you've done some troubleshooting. They have a tool that allows them to look at the signal levels to your modem. It looks at it every hour and keeps a log of the levels, whether they be too high, too low or right on point. The majority of Cox networks use a tool called Edgehealth or Home Cert. Edgehealth is much better because it shows every hour. Home Cert just takes a poll right when they open the tool. However with Home Cert they can schedule the program to look at your levels at a certain time of day for say a week or so. So if they see that it keeps resetting, then they can send someone out there to help you. The best thing to do is do the steps I suggested, if it doesn't fix it, then call them and tell the you've done the steps and let them go through some things with you. They are trained in figuring things out, however unfortunately there are dumbasses who don't care and wont take the time to figure it out. If you get someone like that, you can either ask for someone else or a supervisor. I will say this, the more polite you are the more polite the other person will be. If you cuss and get pissed off, they are less willing to help. No one likes getting cussed at. If you suggest the tools I told you about and they act stupid, then ask for someone else. Techs are required to use at least one of these tools on every internet call. Hope this helps.
