3nd3r Posted December 6, 2001 Share Posted December 6, 2001 irresponsibleki, Dont get so bent out of shape! You dont seem to realise that all we are trying to do is help and to discuss our "Pro's and Con's" of their service. I think that is why these forus are here in the first place. If I am wrong then please enlighten me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murdoc Posted December 6, 2001 Share Posted December 6, 2001 I used to have Excite@Home (which is now crappy @AT&T) and my download speed is still 8Mb. What bugs me is that i have to do a ipconfig /renew everyfew webpages i go otherwise i get the 404 error.... this is really crap because excite was so much better and is still better than att even if they dont exist anymore...:evil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PezDspncr Posted December 6, 2001 Share Posted December 6, 2001 that sucks...I'm sure they'll get their DHCP servers fixed sometime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radixvir Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 ya geez at&t is definitely sucking. ive had to switch my dns servers to the ones the university uses so i dont get 404s everywhere. i hope i dont have an 80kps limit like others have mentioned. i guess i will check it out and see.

zivan56 Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 Rogers@home used to do that too when they were in BC, now i have Shaw@home, they dont monitor your bandwidth usage or limit it!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Weasel526 Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 Does anyone know how to get to winipcfg through windows XP? this 404 **** is gay. I can get to some webpages like neowin.net and almostsmart.com. Here's a kicker: I can get to excite.com but not attbi.com hahahah. I got a phone call from them today, it was a recording saying that my cable modem was completely working, and all I had to do was turn on my computer (by pressing the power button). Then they instructed me to open my internet webpage browser and I would magically be presented with instructions about how to get my webpages working. Wall watta-ya-know I open IE and I got my usual startpage, only it was 404ed, surprise surprise. What a crock of **** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D1V1510N Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 I'm having those same damn problems. I wish they would fix it already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zivan56 Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 In WinXP you dont use winipcfg, its for 9x only, you have to use the command prompt and type: ipconfig /renew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zivan56 Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 No problem :D , I used to have the same problem with Rogers@home, except it coudnt go to any site or anything else on the internet (according to them, cable modem was overheating).

Michael Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question, but what does ipconfig /renew do? I don't know because I've never used this DHCP thing. I always had a static IP with @HOME and before that I had dialup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
