I mean I dont think I’m an idiot when it comes to computers but im having trouble. Well the internet stopped working last night. And I powered off the modem and the router and restarted computer which usually works. At startup it showed that i am connected at 100 mps. So I check the status of the LAN and packets are flowing both ways. Then a little thing pops up that said something about low connectivity. So I hit repair and it obtains a new IP, subnet mask and the rest. Now it shows its connected and shit but nothing internet wise works. the low connectivity thing is gone. I did a virus scan and other things and i can not get it to work. i reset the router and everything. My TCP/IP options are set to obtain automatically. IDK any suggestions? ---

open your browser… connect to the router… if its linksys its going to be the following… [http://192.168.1.1](http://192.168.1.1)… you can find out by opening up dos prompt typing ipconfig and seeing what your gateway is… ie 192.168.1.1 thats the routers address connect to the router. Once your there see if the router is connected to the internet if your in oakland and have comcast it should be something like 24.131.xxx.xxx. if you can connect to your router without a problem theres no problem witht the router. call 1800 comcast and ask for help over the phone there pretty. ---
