    @BC_Programmer

    Then please explain it because I don't understand.

    Also... please don't insult me.

    He didn't insult you.  He told it like it is.  There's a difference.

    When a person expects others to help them without thinking about what impact it has on others, and then plays the victim role when they don't get the help they want, that's entitlement.  That's not an insult.  It's just stating an observation.

    If I were to, for example, go to work without taking a shower for a week or so, and someone told me that I have major BO, they're not insulting me.  They're telling it like it is.  I may not want to hear it, but they don't want to work in an environment that smells like a horse's rear end, either.

    Right now, you're making it hard for anyone to help you.  I know there's a lot you don't understand, but at least make an effort to follow the directions you were given.  "Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day.  Teach a man how to fish and he'll never go hungry."  ...or something like that. :)

    ...and as BC said, there's nothing else to explain.  You don't get to choose what comes out of other people's mouths (or what people type on the Internet).  Take what you get and make the best of it, or if you can do it better, learn how to do it yourself.

    Read up on how to set up a wired network here:

    If that means you have to string a 100 foot Ethernet cable from your computer upstairs to your router downstairs, then that's what you're going to have to do.  Maybe this is a good time for you to learn how to run your own network cable:

    Part of the problem is most people don't generally deal with computer problems. So for most they think that close enough is good enough.

      You know... I was getting the numbers from Task Manager.

      But... when I stopped caring and didn't bring up Task Manager. No  problems and no randomly losing internet connection. Could me bringing up Task Manager been causing the problem?! O_O

      Also... this past weekend. My phone wasn't working and my internet wasn't working. My parents are dealing with this currently. This is an ISP problem but it seems like they keep lying to my parents... my parents aren't very happy with my ISP right now... Someone can't come out until Saturday. To be safe... it looks like I won't be doing anything internet related/computer related until this person comes out.

          Follow the advice you're given before screaming for "help."

          If it's an ISP issue, then we can't just magically make it work.  You'll have to wait for them...or get a new ISP...

            It's an internet connection, not a life support system.
            I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

              k. Whatever.

              Thanks for trying to help anyway.
