[dba-Tech] Can't get IE to upload

Susan,

Like Rocky, suggested, try going directly to the Broadband connection, then 
run some timing tests with DSL Reports or speakeasy.net/speedtest/ and make 
sure that your broadband connection is working up to speed. Then plug in the 
router, and use a direct connection and test again. Then go wireless and 
test again, this should give you real numbers instead of slow or fast, 
making troubleshooting much easier.

The other day I was having similar problems and with out boring you with the 
details it turned out to be a broken wire to the DSL Modem.  Who would have 
thought that DSL would work at all with only one wire connected?  It did at 
times but never over about 1/3 normal speed.

I installed a Belkin Wireless G router the other day -- wireless system is
slow as molasses and mine is almost as bad now. Of course, performance might
not be related to the router at all, but the slowdown came about the same
time.

I'm rebooting several times a day right now.

My main problem right this minute is I'm trying to use IE to upload a resume
and it just will not go -- churns and churns... forget the other system --
get a page error and can't even attempt.

Could be many things -- the server I'm trying to upload is busy, down...
could be IE on my end. Even though the router has a firewall, my Windows
firewalls are still enabled. I haven't changed any settings on IE, but that
doesn't mean anything... could be malware, so I guess I'll spend the day
running scans for that...

I truly am really tired of this -- about 3 or 4 times a year, everything
goes nuts... I'm ready to buy a Mac.

Susan H.
