Frequent disconnection?

technoboy SG

Hi everyone, there's a similar thread in here but I think I will start on my own thread.

Since yesterday, there are certain websites which I cannot load. Like friendster, when I typed the address, it will be stucked while loading. I tried opening another browser to check if it is still connected to the internet and to my avail it is.

The problem not only arises in friendster. Most of the sites I try to go to also give me such problem...

Next is my MSN Messenger. I can get connected to my messenger. But then it'll get logged out after like 5 seconds. I can't even load my contact list to see who's online!

Despite all these problems, I tried downloading using Bitcomet. The speed is still as fast as it used to be and there isn't any disconnection at all!

When I called Singtel technical support, the person asked me to change the channel of the modem. But this doesnt solve the problem as well.

Why is this so? Can someone help me?

Not sure why... because I don't have such problems.

You can try using their proxy.

Address: proxy.singnet.com.sg
Port: 8080

technoboy SG

Sorry, can you tell me what do I do with that?

ndmmxiaomayi SG

With Firefox, see sticky.

With IE:

Tools > Internet Options

Select Connections tab

Under Local Area Network (LAN) Settings, click on LAN Settings... button

Under Proxy Server, tick this box: Use a proxy server for your LAN

In the Address field, copy in proxy.singnet.com.sg
In the Port field, type in 8080
Tick the Bypass proxy server for local addresses box

Click on the Advanced... button

In the HTTP field, type in proxy.singnet.com.sg for the Address field, 8080 for the Port field

Same for Secure and FTP fields

Under Exceptions, type in your router's address (default is 192.168.1.1)

Click OK all the way to save the changes. Restart IE.

Which provider are you using??? Very Happy

For this part, the area is not enabled, which means I can't type any addresses and port number in... Why is that so?

You need to tick the Use a proxy server for your LAN box before it can be typed in...

How do I know what is my router's address? Or do I just use this default number?

Start > Run and type in cmd

In Command Prompt, type in ipconfig

Take note of your Default Gateway, that's your router's IP address.

Singnet... see Olala's thread.

You need to tick the Use a proxy server for your LAN box before it can be typed in...

Yes, yes... It has already been ticked... But it's unavailable... I can't even upload a picture of it and post it here... Evil or Very Mad

Wah, that's a kinda wierd problem... So how did you manage to ask the technician to come down and check? Cos' normally they will just help you though the phone right? And how long did that take to repair man?

I hope this isn't gonna be my problem...[/quote]

XP? Any service packs?

technoboy SG

Yup, XP service pack 2.

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Should be can... are you part of the administrator's group?

Go to Start > Control Panel > User Accounts

Make sure that under your username, the phrase "Computer Administrator" is there.

technoboy SG

Yeah, I'm the admin of the computer man... Lol...

Hmm, so what should I do? The port thing probably won't solve the problem...

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Like that ar... I don't know.

Might as well switch to Firefox, you can enter the same settings...

technoboy SG

But the problem is not only with IE man... Firefox also got such problem...

And my MSN... I guess I'll have to ask the technicians to get over to my house...

FadeToBlack SG

Check your settings etc.

like firewall etc.
