yesterday mt internet connection went down, and hasnt worked properly since
i have a d-link DSL500 ethernet router connected to a microfilter conected to a 1Mb/s BT adsl line. the router is connected to a small 5 port 10 Base-T switch. The switch has got my ps2 connected to it ( not switched on though) and my airport extreme base station, that links wirelessly to my powerbook, which is sharing internet from airport to ethernet to my windoze game PC.
to sumarise the setup
ADSL->-Filter->-router->-switch->-Airport->-wi-fi signal->-Mac->-PC ethernet
and now the proplem:
As i was saying connection went down, by that i mean everything stopped transmitting and recieving, so i switched everything off, and put back on sequentially, router, switch, airport, mac, pc. the mac told me i had 4 new emails (mail starts on startup) so i thaught yey its working, nope, i was wrong. Mail had somehow managed to get the mail from the server b4 it went kaput again, but just for a laugh i thaught id try my torrents again (fridays episodes of SG1, atlantis, and battlestar galactica) (i know torrents can be bad and illegal, but i dont se it for tv shows that im just going to record to video/dvd anyway) and to my surprise they worked, well only the trackerless ones, the ones that needed an external tracker "failed to locate tracker" and safari wasn't playing either. "cannot load the web page 'anything' because you are not connected to the internet" which is wierd as i have 3 torrents downloading at 8.5KB/s and uploading at arround 2KB/s each.
for an even bigger laugh i booted the pc, windows booted fine, Steam loaded and connected with no problems, MacAfee told me an update was available which it downloaded (slooooooooooowly) and installed, and im wrighting this puzzled querey on firefox on my pc that gets its internet from the mac which aparently (acording to its self) isnt connected to the internet.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggggg!!!!!
frustrating me a little bit i think
Tried repairing permissions, still same problem HELP!
