No new neighbors have moved in, and I really don't talk to any of the
old ones, so I'm not sure.
But this problem was fine for about 3 days over the weekend. But then
last night it started up again. I just turned on my computer this
morning, and like last week, it started up and I had no connection. I
started pinging my router and I keep getting "destination host
unreachable." That happens for about ten minutes, and then I just
continue to get "timed out"s.
I don't think a microwave would be causing this since the duration of
timeouts are so long. When it goes down, it goes down for a while.
It will come back a lot, but not for long. I'll get a couple replies,
a couple time outs, 7 replies, 8 time outs, 1 reply, 100 time outs,
100 replies 2 time outs. Thats what I mean by being random.
I believe ya on the New Delhi thing. Those converstations are so
difficult!
