It was more of a troubleshooting tip. Not really meant to fix it. When you did the ping, what did it say? Should be multiple lines of roughly the same response over and over.

When random weird stuff like this happens, often a modem and router reboot fixes things.

ok, so this is what is says........

4 rows of Reply from (a string of numbers that I assume are my ISP #??): bytes=32 times=69ms TTL=224

Ping statistics for (the same #):
Packets Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost =0 <0%loss>
Approximate round-trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum =67 ms, Maximum = 69 ms, Average = 67 ms

that's it.

Sounds right, sometimes the problem is not your computer.
