Ok. .
Here is whats going on and while I am no genius I am lost here for answers. .
Last week(Friday)my cable company did some upgrades or changes to their internet service and the only reason I knew it was the lack of service for about 4 hours Friday. When it came back up I have had a terrible time with some of the websites and forums I frequent,which include my clubs site/forums. I called them and they told me they would look into it which they did and I recieved a call back late that day saying it was ok. Well all is not ok and I still get the "forbidden 404" entry on my screen on alot of my forums sites and now I am at a loss. I made no changes to my system or its firewall/antivirus software and can not figure out what to do now. I have disabled the Norton and tried,no luck,then unplugged the modem like they said,still no change and am loosing my cool here.
The last call to them earlier tonite I was informed that it was MY equipment and not theirs and I may need to change my modem or update my computer. I can not understand what that has to do with this but I will go over to Circuit City tommorrow and exchange it so they can find another reason. At any rate I have access to some sites and some I still can not access at all. If I have access to the web and can look around and post on some how in the world can it be my system or modem,any ideas?.
This is a old system running Windows ME,a gig of ram,a P3-933 and 3 hard 80g hard drives. I use a Motorola Surfboard Modem to connect it and its the only computer on this cable. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated as I am lost on what I missed or did here..... Andy
