Start > Run > 'cmd'

type in the black box: ipconfig

look at the number after "Default gateway"

type: ping -t xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

replace the x's with the default gateway.

Hold Ctrl+C when you want it to stop.

start->run->CMD, then click o.k.

type ipconfig then press enter.

X= IP address displayed next to default gateway.

type ping -n 25 X then press enter.

Go to Run, type in CMD

type in ipconfig

It will say Default Gateway ......... xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Ping the IP -n 25.

If you are behind a router, it will probably say 192.168.0.1 as your gateway. If that's the case, you'll have to look in your routers info to find it.

Go to(most likely) http://192.168.0.1

Enter your username/password(You do have a username/pw setup... right?).

Muck around until you find your current settings(IP address, subnet mask, gateway, dns, etc). For me, it's under a tab called Status.

BTW, I also have a splitter in the house that is not needed now. should I try bypassing it by myself?

BTW no.2, take a look at this: http://img1.tapuz.co.il/forums/38556910.jpg Do these figures seem right?

That's good signal, as far as the modem is concerned.

Hopefully nobody here is stupid enough to do that, and if they are, those're some slowass LANs!

ok, I don't get this thread. What does pinging your gateway has to do with cable?!

If you have a "slow" connection on cable, no cable company will take any ping results that are pinging anything beyond the gateway that you connect to. If your connection is/has a problem, then you'll see it there. If it's just fine but pinging, say, yahoo.com and everything else turns up with problems, it's not the ISP's problem and they'll tell you too bad.

--- 24.20.8.1 ping statistics ---
33 packets transmitted, 28 received, 15% packet loss, time 32029ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 248.875/483.327/858.095/151.741 ms

...which reminds me, I need to call my ISP for even one single packetloss issue. That's why my connection is all fUx0r3d up.

But that doesn't have anything to do with Cable or ADSL, does it? And what's the use if I ping MY default gateway when HE has a problem?
