What do you do when you can't get on the internet?

Our internet went out. My husband spent the week-end trying to find the problem. Seems it is with our computer. I'm on a borrowed laptop right now. It takes some getting used to to use a different computer. Plus it doesn't have all my favorites saved on it.
So, does it drive you crazy when you can't get on the internet?

I hate when my internet goes down because its usally right when im talking to someone on msn or when im posting. That usally happens a lot for some reason. But when I dont have internet what I do is I scan my computer because it makes it go by slow so its a good time to do it and I also play video games while im scanning my computer since I cant use it anyway.

There never seems to be a good time for that to happen does there?

It seems that you are addicted as me and many others on line. But I will also say the truth that we can live without internet as we used to live in our past. Internet is a gift of today's growing technology. It made us global villagrs, but we should belive that our roots are still in the same place of earth where we were born and took growth. I felt that our computers are not stable and simillar condition is with our internet connection. The time is gradully improving this technology, we should hope for better future and we should mentaly prepare ourselve for the problem you use to face day by day.


myLot reputation of 99/100. caver1 (1139)   ranked 417 out of 38,607 in life  3 years ago

Yes, you are correct. I am addicted to the internet! Maybe I should just stay off for awhile and see what other things there are to do in life. Or not!

I would be angry, I would be worried, because internet are for me my morning rutin. I always goes up 2 hours before my son has to be waken, and I have to g to work and send him to school. Two hours in the morning with coffee and mylot is the best way to get seeded up for the rest of the days tasks. So yes, I would be crazy if it happen to me. In fact it has one time, but i got the computer back in no time so I only had to wait for a day.


myLot reputation of 99/100. caver1 (1139)   ranked 417 out of 38,607 in life  3 years ago

Wow! I can't imagine getting up so early everyday. My kids are usually up before I am.


myLot reputation of 97/100. anetteh (1469)   ranked 132 out of 38,607 in life  3 years ago

One day that will change for you to. My son is 16, a tired boy in the mornings and almost can not get up in the mornings. I have at least 30 minutes job to get him up from bed. I need lots of energy to do this task. Therefore I need my time alone before I start with this.

My kids woke up before me when they was in early age. But As I said this will change.

Great weekend to you.

It may disappoint me if I can't surf online for a day. If ever my internet is down, I would have gone to an internet cafe and rent for an hour or two and perform the usual tasks I have been doing while I am in front of my PC. Perhaps, I could call up the technical support of my service provider and let them check what actually happened. Meanwhile, I could do disk clean up, disk defragmenting, complete test of my virus program, play offline games, or write articles in msoffice while I couldn't connect to the net. This way, my time is not wasted after all.


myLot reputation of 99/100. caver1 (1139)   ranked 417 out of 38,607 in life  3 years ago

It is good you have other things to do on the computer. I don't know anything about the disk clean up and defragmenting you mentioned. My hubby takes care of all that. Guess I should learn.


myLot reputation of 95/100. ryanphil01 (3077)   ranked 1,020 out of 38,607 in life  3 years ago

Windows comes with a collection of house cleaning tools, including ScanDisk, Disk Defragmenter and Disk Cleanup, to help keep your disk in peak working order.

Why do the cleaning?
First, disks are hard working, mechanical devices and, like all mechanical devices, prone to failure. A little preventative maintenance can warn you of potential problems and fix minor glitches before they can do damage to your data.

Second, the way files are organised on your drive has a perceptible impact on the performance of your computer. If your files are stored neatly, end-to-end, without fragmentation, reading and writing to the disk is speedier.

I hope this gives you the idea what I am doing when I 'clean' my computer.

So funny that I came across this conversation as my internet just came back up about 15 min ago. I really hate when it stops working. Thanks heavens it doesn't happen too often. I always try to repair the IP address as that can usually solved the problem but when it doesn't I call my brother. He's a computer programmer and he can usually tell me how to fix it over the phone.


myLot reputation of 99/100. caver1 (1139)   ranked 417 out of 38,607 in life  3 years ago

My husband is a computer programmer, so he takes care of all this stuff. I'd be lost without him.

Hi Caver1

if you do have problems going on-line it's good to call you ISP, your provider does system check-ups on their server from time-to-time to improve their services

if there's no problem with the ISP you may need to check your browser's user name and passwords, someone may actually log-in on a different account, check your network connections -Peace:0


myLot reputation of 99/100. caver1 (1139)   ranked 417 out of 38,607 in life  3 years ago

Thanks for the advice. My husband did call ISP and the problem is not with the DSL. He is working on some other possibilities.

I become anxious when the internet goes down. I just watch tv, play video games, or take a nap when the internet goes down.
