What’s Wrong With My Computer?
I’ve been having Internet trouble again. This time I called tech support, and we established that I was getting an IP address, but I couldn’t ping anything. It’s not the modem, because I tried two different ones. And besides that, they both work when I hook them up to my old computer.
I managed to get a couple of things done on the old machine this morning, and in the meantime I ran virus and malware scans on the new one. Both found nothing. I had installed Firefox on my old machine and downloaded Open Office so I could get some work done on it, but then I decided to try the new one again because it’s so much faster. That time, I connected with no problem. Strange.
I don’t know what’s going on here, but it’s driving me nuts. It wouldn’t be such a big deal if I were just using my Internet to compare acne products, but I need it to work so I can make a living. I guess I’ll try to get caught up on my work, and then do some more searching online to see if I can find out what the problem might be. Maybe I’ll see if someone at one of those tech forums can help me. And if all else fails, maybe I’ll contact the computer manufacturer.
If there are any computer whizzes out there who have any ideas, a comment would be much appreciated. I’d be happy to link to a site or do some writing for anybody who can help me get this straightened out.
