My friend just got DSL thru CavTel, the setup was quick and easy with the provided software from them, but she still couldn't connect.
So she gave me call and I offered to check it out - here's whats happening:
-any page will time out with the "page cannot be loaded" error.
-the connection says that she is sending data but not recieving data back.
-I installed a pci NIC and disabled the on-board NIC and the same thing happens.
- CavTel says that everything is setup correctly, yet they cannot read a MAC address from the PC?????
- CavTel even gave me a different IP and gateway to use and it still happens.
Could all this be caused by bad wiring in the apartment building where she lives?? or is CavTel just crap?? I am completely stumped. Anyone have any ideas?
The PC is an Emachines running XP Media Center, it is brand new right out of the box.
