Downloads stop, videos stop loading, and there's some thing's wrong with internet

Hello there, and thanks for coming by...

For the past two months or so, I've been encountering this strange problem a lot. I don't think Hamachi has anything to do with this, it's been happening since before I had it on my computer. While browsing through the internet (this can take anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours), somehow, my computer "disconnects".

When I double click it, it will say Connecting->Connected, but even after that, it says "Disconnected"

I don't know whether this is related to the problem too, but while downloading things... pretty much anywhere from the internet, the download stops right in the middle. For example, a download gets stuck at 24.5%, and it'll still say something like 30kb/s, but there is absolutely no progress at all.

I hope this helps, but when I check the status of the connection, I end up with something like this.


If you've got any questions regarding my PC, feel free to ask, I just want to get rid of this problem

Uhm.....if you look at the bottom part of the picture on top, there are 2 other things that say you're conncected. I'm not understanding the problem here.

To me it sounds like your ISP is having an issue somewhere, whether they realize it or not. I used to have similiar problems with my cable service, and it was only solved when the technicians came and replaced all of the wiring in my apartment and between my apartment and the cable hookup.

It was an unbelievable pain in the ass too. If the technicians came while it was working, they would say there's nothing wrong with it, give me a new modem, and leave. If they came while it wasn't working, they said they couldn't figure out why, gave me a new modem, and left. I told them it had to be the cable line for several weeks, and by the fifth or sixth attempt they finally looked at it... lo and behold, thats what it was.

>< Yes, it does say Connected, but I can't still can't browse stuff on Firefox or IE. Probably because of the Internet Connection on top.

iridescentfyre, thanks for your suggestion, I'll see what others have to say about this.
