Charge it to Experience
For the first time since we had cable internet, we lost what seems like our internet connection. Thing is, we have an active I.P. address. Modem light indicated ONLINE is solid green.
So I did what every good EarthLink agent would do, and my troubleshooting notes would have looked something like this.
1.) Powercycle the modem (several times) ... No dice.
2.) ipconfig /all ... IP address is there.
3.) ipconfig /release ... ip was released
4.) ipconfig /renew ...ip back to normal
5.) tried browsing..no dice
6.) ping www.yahoo.com....no host found
7.) tried logging in to YM... log in success
Hmm.. then i remembered an old trick that most of times work for Win XP. So i ran it on the command prompt.
netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt (reinstall tcp/ip)
Well, what happened next enabled me to write this blog.
And I tell you I'm one happy camper.
