I live with my two brothers and we each have a computer. We have a modem that is connected via cable and then a router that connects the modem to the three computers.

The speed is great and have no lag most of the time, but there is one problem. One very ANNOYING problem:

Most of the time when each of us turn on our computer, we are not connected to the internet, just the modem. It says "Limited Connectivity" and "Local Only." The only way to fix it is to reset the modem and router, and we're all set. BUT, sometimes we will randomly lose connectivity in the middle of the day and it will go to "Local Only" which doesn't allow us to open any web pages or play games that require the internet.

Now things get even weirder; it's random! At any given time my computer will lose connectivity, then maybe one of my brothers will, then maybe my other brother will. Our internet is NOT CONSISTENT!

We are connected to Google DNS, and have Xfinity High Speed Internet. Any help is appreciated!!!

Thanks.

I have Windows Vista and here is a picture of what I'm seeing:

I just got my modem and router replaced, so that isn't the problem (I think). My internet will be doing fine and then I will try to open up a gaming program or a web page, and it just loads forever, eventually telling me that it couldn't connect to the DNS server. I am able to fix this by resetting my modem and router, but I want to be able to surf the web without having to do this multiple times a day! I am using Google Public DNS.

Help?

i wanna get one but idk if i have one in my computer.

i turned 16 a month ago and im about to get my license. any suggestions on where to look for my first car? what makes are cheap yet good, etc. i have $1400 saved up so far.

my brother is a habitual liar and hes always breaking the rules. my mom and i want to buy a camera that could go in his room without him noticing and would be easily accessible to watch the videos on it. he usually has his room pretty dim and his shutters shut, so night vision would be good too. it would be nice if it could be hard to find yet easy to get to. suggestions?

I left my laptop on a us airways flight it wasnt checked i brought it on. is there a way i can recover it somehow?

They seem pretty easy and my friend used them and his face looks good.

ive asked questions before about problems with windows alt tabbing out. i asked a friend and he said if i have an ati card then it interferes with windows' resolution. basically what happens is any program i have open will alt tab between 10 and 30 seconds. as a gamer, this is very frustrating. i went into display settings and im playing around with things and i see the catalyst control center. it then comes up with an error message. i finally recognized this error message and it has been coming up every single time i load up my computer. heres the message:

Could not load file or assembly 'CLI.Implementation, Version=2.0.3427.27797, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=90ba9c70f846762e' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

this comes up every single time i load my computer, and it also comes up when i try to open the advanced settings with catalyst control center through program files. please help!

im pretty sure teachers at school that have computers in the room have some type of program like that. is there a free one for personal use? and could it see the screens of all the others too, like a teachers one? if not, what are some of them and how much do they cost?

id like to get to different sites at school but they are blocked. any ideas? im on a mac

In world of warcraft does anyone know how to make a macro that allows you to equip a weapon for the offhand slot? using /equip on both weapons doesnt work.

any time im in a game it alt tabs out like every 20 to 40 seconds. this also happens with any other windows/programs. ive rebooted many times and and scanned my computer for anti virus with norton and spy bot. ive also defragged a few times. earlier when i asked this, someone told me to uninstall the driver for my keyboard but that didnt work after a reboot. i never have food or drink by my computer so its less than likely that ive gotten something in there. any help plz?

this happens like every 10 or 15 seconds. basically it does what happens when you alt tab. this doesn't only happen when im playing games, it does it with other windows like itunes, word, and firefox. please help!
