Stupid damn thing...

Of ALL the sites for it to start messin up on, it has to have been the login for my schools website (basically my link to ANY of my class webpages/lectures)

Just called up tech support and spouted off the ping and tracert's showing where the packets were dying. He was stumped and said he was gonna talk to the techs cause something must be wrong.


UPDATE:

So i called today again, since the damn thing works now but its too slow to stream my lectures. The tech support i spoke to gave me some pretty unbelievable news, she said since were switching over to the new cox.net service, the outage/slowness could last for OVER A MONTH. This is COMPLETE bullshit. As of now i cant watch ANY of my lectures and the computer labs are either full or closed when i can go. She updated my ticket to a level 2.5 (engineering level) and has put in for the local branch supervisor to call me and let me know whats up...

Id switch to DSL cept it sucks here in Gainesville...

Narrowed it down to a bad node in my development/neighborhood area... I asked ReelC00l to see if he could get to it (hes on the same ISP, about 2 miles away) and he can get to it fine...
