Internet Connectivity Issues

[mrwabam]

Hey all,

My girlfriend has a DSL modem connected to a Linksys wireless hub. For some reason both her laptop and main computer are having connectivity issues.

Up until 20 minutes ago, it was just the laptop acting strange, but now the desktop is acting wierd as well. She can use AIM but not use IE on the desktop, and on the laptop everything runs at a crawl and she can't get her VPN loaded properly.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but as I am away from work I can't really troubleshoot too much, I had her unplug the modem, shutdown all the computers, etc... to no avail.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Tom

I think you're wanting the Networking section In the meantime... think about your firewall and antivirus softwares, and your Windows patching.

If you do need some new AV software or firewall software, follow the link in my signature and go to the Resources page, I've put up some links that could be useful. Good luck
