I keep losing my internet connection!!! :weeping: It is really pissing me off. :mad: I called AT&T and all "John" :rolleyes: could tell me is that there are outages in our area and that there is no set time when the problem will be fixed. So, I ask why the Chamber next door or even out at my house aren't having any problems staying logged on, if there is an "outage" in my area? His response - will they have different lines. My response, no chit sherlock - so don't you think maybe there is something wrong with my phone line - maybe someone needs to come out and check it out?? ARGH! :mad: I was so pissed off that I hung up on him.

What am I missing here?? Besides a steady internet connection??

Well "technically", your line would be in "your" area and the Chamber's line would be in "their" area. :nerd: :nerd:


That stinks for you. :(

My boss is PISSED...he is the only one who can't get on the internet in our office today.

I am holding for a "techie" right now to see if he can walk me through it and get him up and going again.

Thank goodness I am taking off at lunch today!!

I'd offer to fax it to ya, but my fax has been acting stupid. I can try if you need it urgently.

"I really don't know what's going on with our network right now"

"Your line is not receiving the signal. I don't know why." "You need to call this # and ask them 'how my line is going to the central office?'" :mad:

WTH!!!!!!

So, now I have to call someone else. :bigcry:

Rita---you're missing a golden opportunity---start speaking Spanish to them at about the rate that the Cubans speak Spanish and wait til they get the Spanish interpreter on line and then go to perfect English. :D

HAHA --- the only Spanish I can speak at the rate of a Cuban is to tell them where to go and what they could do to themselves when they get there!! :eek: :o

Chris, bless his heart, is already making me feel better!! :)

Because I know you are all worried about my internet issues, I wanted to let you know that after all that a technician will be coming out between the hours of 830A-4P to check out our line.

It turns out there is nothing wrong with our DSL line. My computer is dead. Some little card is not reading/holding the connection. Time for a new computer. :D

My boss will be so happy to hear the news on Monday!!!

That is EXACTLY what happened to one of my bosses laptop. As a matter of fact, he just walked in the door, coming straight from Circuit City, with a brand new one!!

Well, I have a sneaking suspension that the new computer will be for his office and I'll get his computer. :weeping: :mad:

So you're getting a new computer because your NIC is fried. Crazy. :p

I'm sure the card can be replaced, but that computer is REALLY old. This will be the 3rd time we've had to replace/repair something on it. May as well buy a new one.

Yeah, this is the same one that had the USB ports fried not to long ago. :rolleyes: Before that something with the motherboard was screwed up and before that something with the fan? It just needs to go the way of the fax machine in Office Space. :D :evillol:
