Computer Woes
Aug. 27th, 2009 09:47 amI am having issues with my home computer, and my darling boyfriend has been too busy to look at it. I am hoping that one of you lovlies out there in LJ/Facebook-land can help me out.
Last week, I was messing about on the internet, when all of a sudden things just...stopped working. Every time I tried to load a page I'd get a message that said "The connection to the server was reset." Type thing.
Restarted the computer. No luck. Same message. Shut down the computer, unplugged the modem, unplugged the router, re-plugged the modem, re-plugged the router, turned the computer back on...no dice.
I'm running Windows XP, with the most recent version of Firefox. IE 7 didn't want to connect, either.
Rich's laptop and the (se)X-Box are connecting just fine, so I'm pretty sure it's not the network.
Oh, and I've tried using both the wireless and wired conncections, to no avail.
Anybody have any sort of idea of how to fix this? I would really love to have internet on MY computer again.
