Internet Problems

[StealthyGunnar]

Hey everyone, ive just been havin problems w/ my internet lately and was wondering if any of u could help.

Im running copper.net dial up, and for some reason, when i open multiple tabs, it's like the computer cannot get the information it needs from the website, and no kilobytes r being received or sent. I often have to refresh each and every page just to get it to come up.

Now i know that it's only dial up, but this has never happened before. I also ran a virus scan and it didnt catch anything, and i have disconnected and connected back multiple times and it still does the same thing. Has any1 else had any problems like this?

Maybe you should try opening them one a a time instead of rapidly clicking

Pretty sure it's only temporary

The thing is, I see on smashboards multiple threads id like to check out and i open up a new tab for each thread. This never happened before. it's just been the past week or so.

This happens to me too. Do you mostly visit this site?

 

[StealthyGunnar]

Yes. This is the basically the only site in which i open multiple tabs. but my comp still decides to stop all activity randomly on other sites too like youtube and facebook.

-_- youtube,fb and swf have lots of stuf, i you open multiple tabs on them, of course it's gonna be slow

ya but, it's like my comp has lost connection. itll start loading and then just stop, 0 bytes being received and sent.

Perhaps multiple tabs may create internet problem, or it come with heavy loaded site. Also with low speed provided by service provider. The thing is, I see that multiple threads id like to check out and I open up a new tab for each thread

I've always had difficulty with dial-up and tabs. I don't recommend trying to open a new tab until a previous one is done.

have you tried the standard fare? Like, you know, clearing your cache, that kinda thing? Also try rapidly opening multiple tabs on a site other than SWF to see if you get the same result, so you can narrow it down to it being you opening multiple tabs or it being SWF... though I don't see why SWF would behave this way.

ya it does this on other sites too.

it never did this before, it's just been happening within the last month...
