I live in the dorms at my university and I have to log in to cisco to access the network here. It worked fine for a month then my computer started freezing, usually when on Youtube or Netflix or Skype, but every once in awhile it will freeze no matter what, I just have to wait it out and it starts working as usual again. I went home for a weekend (no cisco) and it worked fine. How do I fix this? It is getting really annoying.
I don't think that there's much you can do yourself. Send an e-mail to the network administrator in your university and describe your problem. Ask them for help. I am sure there if there is an easy solution for it they will know.
Do not forget to tell them what sort of machine you are using (for example Laptop Dell Inspiron 15R) and what programs you have installed (for example windows vista home edition).
I read your post, and understand the issue which you are mentioned in this post, I also face the same issue related to Netgear and simply take the help of Netgear Support team, they also provide Cisco related services, if you are still facing the issue you can visit to solve out the issue quickly, I think your issue will e solved properly.
It sounds like a local problem(meaning specific to your computer). check to make sure your wireless card drivers are up-to-date and correctly installed, run an antivirus scan (not that it will help much), and if all else fails create a livecd or liveusb of a linux distro to test if it's your operating system or your hardware.
It sounds like your'e using a network made available by the school youre attending. I bet they intend for you to use it to study, as a research tool. Find the network administrator and ask them about security or banned sites. Those media sites you mentioned may be blocked by the administration.
What a helpful technical post! I think Wireless Router is the best one to achieve uninterrupted WiFi while blogging. I had some issues with my router which I was unable to fix on my own. Then, I opt for website which is truly helpful in fixing all my router issues.
That would be a useful information to an admin, probably. I don't think she uses a Linux, If she had a MacBook, she'd probably mention it, so it will probably be some version of Windows.
Programs like Skype, **** Instant Messenger, or online games that use the internet for their own functions may be blocked for security too.
They aren't blocked, it's a dorm network here they don't block those since its like our home network now.
Is the browser locking up or the computer? can you still do things offline like ms word?
