I have been using ME for years now, on a quite barebones machine, but it has worked so far. The problem was that the other day, even though the cable modem still seems to be fine, I am now not able to access the internet in any way...in other words my email times out, my yahoo will not connect, and i cant go to any web pages......i have even went so far as to delete the ethernet connection, take out the card, reboot, then turn off put card back in and re-discover everything, and still the cable modem is fine and still I have no internet connection....any ideas?
