jaklumen Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 I keep having this routing problem. Every so often, my Internet stops working. The last time it was limited to Firefox and my mail servers (I use Thunderbird). Runescape worked fine (I was using the Jagex client). Every single time, if most things aren't working, my IM client works without a hitch (I use GAIM most of the time). I assumed a while back that Fasterfox was causing the problem, so I uninstalled it. Sure enough, my problems decreased. But I am stumped as to why this happened again. I usually powercycle the modem and the computer when I have this problem (unplug the modem completely and turn it and the computer off for at least 2 minutes). I usually repair the connection through Windows (I'm using XP), which renews the IP address, flushes the DNS cache, as well as some other things. I have talked to Verizon CS at least twice. The last time the agent suggested powercycling the modem and computer as I described. He talked about regular computer maintenance, too, but every time I do a disk analysis for defrag-- it comes up fine, clearing cache, history, download, etc. on Firefox doesn't seem to really be it, and I can't think of anything else besides repairing the registry and that's usually a risky undertaking-- although I've used a registry edit program in the distant past with no problems (and that was before the new motherboard, new CPU, and disk reformat). I've talked to biox and he's stumped. EDIT: Just read grin's stickied announcement and added my OS-- is there any information I'm forgetting?

Collective Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 What modem (model number and manufacturer) are you using and what other programs do you have running (peer-to-peer programs especially). Also, if you're using a seperate router, what are the make and model of that? A hijackthis log may help more people to help you, aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collective Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Try disabling ZoneAlarm (temporarily) and see if that helps (I've had trouble with ZA killing my internet in the past). Also, just to make sure: when your internet fails do any of the indicator lights on your modem change colour/go out? This may not be worth mentioning, but please check out where ALi5289[Caution: ExecutableFile] came from. I had no idea what it was (and still don't), so I Googled around and most results were HiJackThis logs, and some of those have recommendations to remove it. Some sites list a similar file, JMAP5289[Caution: ExecutableFile], as being found in the same directory and as being malware. It is possible it's a legitimate driver, so don't delete it straight away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
