Ok. I used to be able to connect to the internet through my router, both wireless and cable.

But last night I had a problem with Garena cilent (can't log in), and when i surfed the forums i found out most starhub users also cant log in. So i call them up and ask them about it. They suggested I bypass my router and get the internet straight from my modem, obtaining ip and dns automatically. I can get the internet to my com but still cant log in to the cilent.

Afterwards, I tried to revert back to using my router as my brother will be needing the internet as well and it's not possible for me to hog the cable. But I can't seem to connect to the internet when I'm connect via lan cable through the router. It shows I'm connected but something wrong with the dns I think.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance and sorry for the bad langauge. Not pro in tech stuff.

Ps. Anyone knows how to solve the Garena Cilent problem too? The other users are saying about a gateway being down. Bnet can't be logged in too.

any advice?

*some info abt my lappie i got from memorystock.com* (dunnoe wat they mean thou)

Maximum Memory 4.0 GB Memory Expansion 2 sockets Memory Comments PC2-5300 DDR2 SDRAM SODIMMs. Supports Dual Channel DDR2.

Memory Details: Total No. of Slots: 2 (Currently One slot in use) Installed RAM: 502 MB Maximum RAM: 4096 MB Front Side Bus: 167 MHZ Details of memory already installed on your computer: Memory Size Memory Type Memory Speed Dimm Type Dimm Type Detail

DDRII 1

512 MB DIMM 333 MHZ Unknown Synchronous

You can support up to 4GB of ram.

However, do note, that if you are using windows Xp / vista (without sp1), it will show up as 3.2gb of ram. - you are not cheated. it's just the case.

It will not void the warranty.

Sintex Should be cheaper than in Simlim.

Your current installed ram is 512MB.

When you are getting ram, get those with the "DDRII" - this would mean the type of ram it is.

Do not worry about the the xxx Mhz - in my opinion you can get those which are slightly above your front side bus, as, that's the max speed your ram can read/write at.

Could be also, until TS can provide more info.

this error appears when you try to set system clock back in order to prolong the trial version. If this is not the case, it can also happen if something is wrong with system clock without your participation (for example, exhausted battery on the motherboard). Please check if your system clock is correct and try to run the program again.

Few questions.

1) Does your clock always reset after you switch off your computer. Reset meaning your time is for eg: 11:29am, however whenever you switch on your computer, your date/ time will be - 12:00pm ect. - wrong date and time.

2)Have you installed any TRIAL software that might have expired. - if you do, please state the software and the developer

I would reckon it being the Motherboard or the Hard disk.

Look at the hdd activity indicator. after switching it on, does it like up? what is the colour of the indicator.

The Hdd's clicking sound makes it sound like the reader is stuck or it has problems reading the data on the hard drive. However, what puzzles me is that, if it has problems reading, Bios can still be seen. - that means either the monitor/motherboard has problems.

It could be a combination of problems, which we will find out in due time.

The Dvd drive seems to be busy as, the computer is following the boot up procedure.

every computer has it in it's bios, it would be in accordance to which will boot up first.

If the hdd (in the first slot) fails, it will go to the nxt on the list, Dvd drive (2nd slot) to detect for an OS. ect ect. Thus it could still be a hdd problem and unscrewing and rescrewing will not resolve it.
