Computer Problems

[Jon and Marilou 0]

Hey Everybody!

My fiance, Marilou, has been having a lot of trouble with her pc. She has called a technician that said the problem is in the internet connection. The internet service provider says it's her pc. I don't really trust either of them. Does anyone know of a really good computer technician in Angeles City? We can hardly chat anymore because she keeps getting disconnected. If anyone can refer us to a good tech., we would appreciate it very much.

Thank you,

Jon & Marilou

Find out what kind of Modem (company e.g. US robotics, conecant etc)she has, what OS ( Windows 98 XP etc) Then I can probably give you some adjustments to do on her PC like modem strings, I work for an ISP but I will probably miss thi sthread as I am going to bed so please pm me the details

I also got the same problem actually, i kept getting disconnected on internet after 2 hours. I am not sure what is the cause of the problem because it happened that i brought my pc to a technician and had it reformatted, and at the same time went to my internet company provider since i encountered problem with my phone line. After this two incidents it got fixed. But then again lately, i encountered problem with my pc had it fixed and after that the problem with getting disconnected came back again, well now as i said earlier i am kicked out from internet after 2 hours exactly. Not sure if it is the internet provider or my pc (ummm a lil useless to call my internet provider bec. they cant solve my problem).

Check out this Yahoo group, I am pretty sure there are several expats living in the Angeles City area that may be able to help you. Good luck

My fiancee had similar problems, more so with internet connection speeds than with disconnects however. She had a tech come by and that fixed the problems. He uninstalled several programs that were running in the background and slowing the system down (they were also accessing the internet and slowing the connection speed down as well), there was an immediate and noticable difference in her online speeds.

What version of Windows is she running?

What is your chat program of choice? Yahoo Messenger, AOL, ICQ, Skype, etc.

How much system memory (RAM) does she have installed?

What kind of hardware is she using to connect to the internet? (motorola cable modem, US Robotics

V.92 phone modem, Ethernet Card model, etc.)

What type of connection is she using? (cable, dialup, dsl, wireless) By you saying she is getting disconnected I am guessing dialup, if this is the case it could be the phone company that is disconnecting her .. also if she has call waiting and it isn't disabled while she is connected to the internet (*70) that would disconnect her as well when someone calls.

Who is her internet service provider and what speed is she connected at.

Does her internet service provider have a FAP (Fair Access Policy).

Tell me these things and I'll try to give advice if I can.
