Perhaps someone here can assist me

I am at my Wit's end, I am at friends wit's end. Heck I even made couple Comcast folks come to their wit's end.

My Internet is being Weird.

I can Surf to say any site, without issues, until Cityofheroes.com, then it takes good 3 mins to load, if I click my account, to go into my NCSoft Master account, takes 4-5 mins each action, its very slow. No where else is like this. This not all

My City of Heroes, I have 3 characters now, that are stuck in game, Ive made peititions, they are still stuck, as in, when I try log them in, game stop's responding, If I log in any other toon, its fine, less I try & zone, then this issue happens.

NEXT: My Yahoo & Comcast email, will not load, it will say these

Comcast: The connection has timed out

The server at sz0006.ev.mail.comcast.net is taking too long to respond.

* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.

* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.

* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

The same happens when I try to sign into Yahoo. Now I made a Gmail account, tested it, I get into it just fine.

NEXT: Yahoo Search bar, won't work, if I swap it to Google I can search with it. Yahoo times out.

At speedtest.net, it says: Download is at 13.99(yesterday I was getting 22), while my Ping is 55 & upload is 4.76.
This issue persists on Firefox, Internet Explorer & Chrome.


I have checked everything I could think of & what folks told me to check, I had one nice comcast lady spend hour n half with me, going through everything we could, Ive cleared proxys, cookies, turn off & on the firewall(testing each time). I have ran every virus & spyware system recommended by me & friends. 3 different virus protection systems & 3 different spy things(McAffee(came with computer, but got rid of it), Avast, Microsoft Security Essentials, Windows Defender, Spybot, & Malwarebytes). They have said my computer if A-Ok, nothing wrong.

I have whipped my computer clean, back to nothing & load from Windows 7 Disk. First thign I did once I got internet up, was test, same issue, just got CoH loaded up fully, Same exact characters are still causing the game to stop responding.

Computer is Windows 7 Home 64bit Operating System, atm I got Microsoft Security Essentials for Virus protection. Intell Core i7 CPU, 6 Gigs of Ram, 2.80ghz.

Has anyone heard or experienced this issue themselves?
So need Help

p.s. my DL speeds are now 32..odd

try resetting your modem I have similar problems sometimes usually seems to do the trick.

couldn't tell, but have you reset your modem and router(if you have arouter)?
that may help you out.

if you are running a router, have you tried a different router or using a different firmware version?

Modem is directly into the computer(Via USB Line), Ive had comcast reset it 3 times, No Router. Sunday it was fine, no issues, monday when I logged in the morning, this started & continues.

JJ

you actually have to manually reset it. which means shut down your comp, unplug the modem for at least 2 mins. replug in the modem, wait 30 secs to a min after it reboots then turn back on your comp.

A few things (some already said, but they bare repeating)

• Reset your router
• Revert your router to firmware defaults
• Replace your router
• Run a traceroute to a few different sites cause you trouble and see if you can notice anything in common.

We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.

I dunno?

I just have USB line into the computer to the Modem, this how it was set up for me, when I bought my new machine back in Jan, same as before, there no Network card per say, only card hooked to my Motherboard is my Video Card, the USB is that silver box connected to the motherboard.


JJ

are you using a usb cable or an ethernet cable to hook up your modem to your comp?

USB:

Ethernet:



Which one does your plug look like?

Second Picture.(cept bigger cords/head)

I just had my computer off & my modem fully unplugged for last 10 mins.

Issues still persit

JJ

at this point i would go to your comcast center and bring the old modem with you and ask for them to replace it letting them know what is going on. make sure you ask for a brand new one. you might still get one that looks brand new but has been used, but it may help to oust the modem as the problem.

PingPlotter is a useful freeware tool to run traceroutes for you.

This wieder, I swear.

I finally got to sign in my yahoo, before it would time out, but mail part of it & comcast mail still are timing out.

JJ

this might be off the wall, but is your drive heavily fragmented or out of disc space?

Nope, Im using bout 10% tops of my Hard drive.

It's not fragmented either


JJ

OMFG, You guys are good luck or something

IT all works now, I got a call from Comcast, apparently my ISP was some wierd technical crap terms, but basically was gummed up in their network, they finally fixed it.

I lost 8 megs worth of Music...
