Q — Why I always get an error, Limited Or No Connectivity? How to fix it?

A — Limited or No Connectivity due to miss-assigning IP to your LAN Connection. Usually and supposedly your IP should be assign with the 192.168.x.x group but it assign an IP which in group 168.x.x.x .

By default your modem IP is start with 192.168.x.x. Just imagine how your LAN and modem could communicate if they on the different group of IP?

Basically, you will be advice to re-install back or upgrade your NIC firmware / software since it already starts malfunctioning. Beside that, you can just manually key in the IP inside your LAN Connection into 192.168.x.x group. Other than that, you can try to repair back your LAN Connection.

Q — How P2P user effect my streamyx line?

To be honest with you guys, P2P have a major impact to your streamyx connection. I’m not very sure how to explain it using the structure of ADSL but let me put it this way.

Just imagine you have an internet connection at your house and you share it with 10 computers. You have a modem, router and 10 computers. Let tag modem as ATM, router as DSLAM, LAN Cable as cooper and Computers as your house. If one computer using the P2P connection at the house, did it effect all the user inside the house? When you play online games, did your games got lag? If you want to view video streaming, it’s keep buffering all the way? Did you realise why this thing happen? The answer is, P2P are sucking up all the bandwidth for the connection

so that’s what happen in the real life, let say at one area have 300 people whose using the streamyx connection and half from that are using the P2P Network. It will effect other user who are not using the P2P but use it for browsing or online gaming will feel that their connection is very bad and especially around peak hours.

Q – Hi there, i’ve some difficulties when i tried re-connecting by using my artnet adsl modem again.

- if you done this step, please try to restart back your computer and modem.

“re-install back or upgrade your NIC firmware / software”. Can you explain it more briefly?”
- it means you need to have an up-to-date firmware for your NIC. Why? Because Windows always updating their software from time to time and that’s why if your using an old firmware for your NIC it’s sometime clash with the new Windows Setting. If you want to update your firmware you need to know first what are the brand of your NIC. After that you can go to their website to search for any new update firmware that can be use for your NIC.
- re-install it back might help because it will revert back all the data and once it install, it come with a new fresh data. Like a format.

Q – Hey..need sum help here..Im tryin 2 create a Lan connection usin a switch 4 my com n laptop

Hey..need sum help here..Im tryin 2 create a Lan connection usin a switch 4 my com n laptop. D prob is i can only get 1 of them 2 sign in through Streamyx. Always get error 691. Help pls? thx a million
i suck in networking XD

Basic of Streamyx, only one session is permitted for one phone line, means if your connected by your computer with the username “username@streamyx” then the other computer will be unable to log in using the same username at the same phone line. So that why it occur an error message of 691.
Let me give you an advice here, just set your modem to be an auto-connection so your computer and laptop and use streamyx connection in the same time.
