    I assume you are wired directly into the modem?

    Or can you post more info....

    thanks for the reply,
    yes i am connected directly to the modem via cable.

    as this is just a rental apartment, i have no other issue except the make of the modem being a big gawdy fastweb box.

    i was here before, it worked fine... just this time...

    The modem itself can make or break an Internet connection. Also it would be good to call the ISP and report it. Sometimes it could be something on their side but they were initially unaware.
