Incessant failed dns requests, or timeouts every 20 seconds

[laurenskib]

The internet connection fails about every 20 seconds or so, by timing out.  It is impossible to watch any streaming

media at all, or to have a coherent conversation using Skype.  What could the problem be?

It can be from anything at this point. First thing's first, tell us which modem you have. We need to get the Transceiver Statistics as well as the logs from the modem.

it the GT704WG wireless modem/router.  How do get the stats and post them?

ThankS!

#1 Try going to http://192.168.1.1/ .

#2 If running the blue firmware, Choose Troubleshooting, and then click Transceiver Statistics.

#3 If using Verizon-branded firmware (should be Red and Black), go to System Monitoring, Advanced Monitors, and then choose Transceiver statistics.

#4 If you are prompted for a Username and Password at any time, try one of the following:

admin/password
admin/password1
admin/admin
admin/admin1
Your Verizon username/password

You could copy and paste the contents of it.

This means...

#1 Highlight the message.

#2 Either:

a) Go to Edit -> Copy

b) Press the CTRL and C keys at the same time (if a PC, not Mac).

#3 Then when in reply, before you click on Post either:

a) Go to Edit -> Paste

b) Press the CTRL and V keys at the same time (if a PC, not Mac).

If using a Mac I am sure there are key board shortcuts, but I do not know what they are.

If you have a Mac when you go to Edit in your web browser, it will tell you what they are (so even I knew, you could figure it out)

Just like when I was using Windows XP Home SP3 and now I am using ubuntu 10.0.4 LTS on my PC.
