the network is definitely working, so I guess I won't worry about it. Now you said the incoming line (blue wires) should be hooked up to pins 4-5, which according to both 568A & B are the blue wires, I should already be fine. As I mentioned I had already terminated the incoming line to one of the RJ45 jacks in the patch panel, so it should already be hooked up how I need it right?

I think I was editing while your were replying, and then the server disconnected me. Anyway, yes... just punch down on blue and you should be good to go.

Nice troubleshooting! What happened between last Tuesday and today? Anything? Things seem to be pointing to the router. Either it's blocking the site or the ISP is blocking the router (or one of its settings).

I have a switch that kills the cable phone----it was used a lot during election-

I do not remeber seeing any number when the validation was rejected but that does not mean it was not there. Thanx for the help with word -it's back to '03' for me.

I can log onto the router when its down, where it shows that there is no internet connection. I will try pinging it next time Thanks for the replies. It ha been working fine for the last two days. It will soon act up again. It does'nt seem to be an overheating problem I'll keep you posted.

start run enter cmd after the prompt type ping 192.168.1.1 below shows you what you get . if it doesn't respond then the router is down if it does then the router is up Quote: Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] (C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

The modem that my computer is on a separate phone line. Shutting off the modem has no effect on the other lines.

There's a couple things you can do. Run Disk Cleanup (accessories > system tools > disk cleanup) then highlight temporary internet files, then select view files. This will allow you to look at all of the junk that web pages stick in your cache when your browsing. Rebroadcasting is it illegal, but if they stick a copy of it on my pc, then I'll keep a copy it for my own use if I want to. The other thing you can do if you browse...

Thanks for the input...nothing has changed. Also, both my laptop and my desktop pcs are affected by this issue, so it isn't a program or anything that was installed on either machine that is causing this, IMHO anyway. 1. if the isp is blocking my router, wouldn't more things be blocked, not just the traffic over port 21? 2. if it is the router, besides putting it in the DMZ to rule out port blocking by the router, what else could it...
