internet connection failure JCOM
I recently built a new PC; when I brought it home, installed everything, connected to the Internet, but it wouldn't connect. Tried Windows, Linux, but it had probably something to do with the hardware. Tried everything that came to my mind, (it has 2 ethernet ports, I checked both of them, disabled both and connected a PCI network card), nothing helped. Searched the forums, but I couldn't find anyone else complaining, so maybe only mine is broken, because the other PC and PS3 were working.
I then brought it to the place where I bought it from and asked them if they can check. When they checked, I was surprised - it worked there. Ok, good, at least it's not broken, I thanked them and brought it back. Problem was that it couldn't establish connection between the router and itself. I switched off the router, disconnected everything, restarted, reconnected, and saw that it was able to establish the connection now. So it was problem with the router which J:COM has provided. Few days ago I was searching for a wireless router, I found in the (Japanese) forums that it has problem with J:COM router, few others complaining that the router doesn't work very well with some other devices as well. I did search the forums when I faced the trouble, but I suspected the problem was with the new PC, because the other PC was working fine and didn't think about the router.
So if you're using J:COM, have problem with a new PC or just about any network-related issue, check the router.
