Ok, this problem is definitely for the more knowledgable networkers and connection people on this board, but here is the situation.
Basically i have a ghetto network: Two computers.
Computer 1 plugs directly into the internet VIA USB port, and then it has a ethernet card.
Computer 2 accesses the internet VIA computer 1's ethernet card, so basically its a computer to computer network.
Now, it has worked fine and actually great unti the past few days, and I am still not even sure its the network. My connection went down one night, and I thought it was down. I just randomly decided to restart computer one, even though my cable modem wasnt giving an activity response, and it turned back on, everything was working fine, but this was like 11PM.
Next morning, wake up, internet doesnt work on computer 2, but it works on computer 1. The thing is though, its not that it isnt completely nonfunctional. Everything related to the internet doesnt work, but when i goto sign on AOL IM, it goes to the second stage, verifying password, and stops there, and just waits there. Also, I can load pages like MSN.com but it takes a light year. I lookd at the network, and it was setup the same way it had been in the prior weeks etc, so there was no problem with the network. I then looked at how the computers were communicating, and i noticed that computer 1 was sending a normal ammount of packets(i guess) upstairs, and I wasnt recieving any on computer 1 in comparison to the number i was sending it seem like a huge indiffence. Hoever i was recieving a few upstairs, but not nearly as many as i was sending.
Basically Computer 1 : Sending normal packets, recieving 0.
Computer 2: Sending normal, recieving small amt in comparison to ammt sent. I think the number was like (3000 sent, 300 recieved).
So then, at like 11PM i get home, and the internet upstairs is starting to become functional. I can sign on AOL, but it is signing me off every 3 minutes or so, while the computer downstairs seems to have a constant internet. Then around 12 my internet upstairs goes up full speed, no problems barred. Go to sleep at like 5AM.
Wake up this morning, same problem, really sh!tty internet.
Anyone ever experience this problem?
I also called comcast (AS if they would know anything), and he couldnt help me on the networking issue, because they dont support that, but he said that he was pining computer 1, and it was responding normally, and there were no changes to our connection.....
HELP !!!
