Streamyx difficult to get connected, frequent dc

chongstk — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 17:53:08 +0800

Hi,

I started to experience frequent dc after 10-20 minutes of connection to streamyx 2 days ago (before this I had never encounter such sh*t)! I have to try many times before I manage to connect to streamyx. If fail, the following error messages will appear:

QUOTE

Error 815. The broadband netwrok connection could not be established on your computer because the remote server is not responding. Please contact your internet service provider and inquire about the correct value for this field and update it in the connection prioperties.

Initially I just had frequent disconnection and I could reconnect to streamyx very soon. However starting today, I even have difficulty reconnecting! I'm sure the wiring is fine, for my DSL LED couldn't have been more stable!

I called 1300 hotline twice and told them my problem. What they told me to do was flushing dns in cmd prompt but that did not solve my problem at all. I already did whatever I could to troubleshoot but to no avail.....

I wonder if anybody is experiencing the same problem. I'm desperate for help. Heaps of thnxxxxxx!!!

256MB NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS 64bit vs 256MB ATI Mobility Radeon HD3450???

I'm choosing btwn DELL vostro 1510 which comes with NVIDIA and Studio 15 with ATI.
May I know which one has better performance in 3D rendering? I don't usually play sophisticated 3D games (do play DotA though) but do use the notebook to run architect's software like 3Dmax and ArchiCAD.

Please gimme your advice. Thanks heaps!!!!

I've used Jaring Wireless for three months (initial signup 3 months) and I don't think I need it anymore. Can I terminate the service now??? Anybody knows? TQ
