i dual boot ubuntu and windows xp, on seperate drives, one of which is a sata.
on the 5th i had cable on come down and install the 5mbps unlimited internet deal. from the moment i hookup up with an ethernet cable i had problems.
i thought it was my router so i broke the router. then i found out that the motorola sbg901 modem is also a wireless router too... but the wireless light is always orange. i could connect to the internet with ethernet cord or wireless but only for a few minutes. then id have to restart my comp for a few more minutes.
so i took the sbg901 back and got a new one from cable one. installed it, it worked fine for 2 days. then it started not connecting to websites, any music or anything i had downloading would continue to download, my android phone, the ipod and the xbox would work on wireless. if i run a game such as runescape, the internet will work untill i close out of the game, then i have to restart to reconnect the game. today my android phone would not work with the wireless, and when it stops working it wont ping anything not 192.0.0.1 or www.google.com www.yahoo.com
ive noticed that if i go on thepiratebay it stops working even sooner. and at random times itll work.
if i reset the router that doesnt matter, it only starts working again if i reboot the computer.
i just switched from ubuntu 11.04 because i thought that was the problem because thats the problem on some other machines, now im running ubuntu 10.04.03 LTS, and the windows xp wont even detect any kind of internet connection not wireless or wired.
ie done all the ifconfig, ipconfig,iwconfig all of that and it looks like its supposed to according to other ubuntu users..
any ideas? ive had this 4 days and nothing but trouble. my neighbors upstairs have cable one 50mbps package and it runs fine for them
