Please i need your help!!!!

I have a PB Ti 500 and i am experiiencing some severe difficulty with the ethernet.

I am using the ethernet port to connect directly to a DHCP modem. I know for sure the modem works as it is ok under Linux,Windows and on my new quicksilver.

I am running MAC OS X 10.1.1 only(no mac os 9). Until about 1 week ago the connection was working great. Then something really weird happend, the next day i went to check my email and it said that it could not connect to the server. I tried all applications using the intenet nothing happend. Softaare update was not working. I decided to check the settings out and i did not see any problems there either. Then as a last resort i clean installed mac os x.1 again nothing. I phoned the apple support line and guess what they told me what i already knew and that they are escalating the case. It does not work either under MAC OS X or MAC OS 9.1. I have tried everything and it is really getting on my nerves. Please i need your help.

Something funny :

The apple technician asked me if i was using my modem port after i told him i was downloading at 140 before this happend........

Any help will be greatly appreciated people. Thank you

I don't know anything about the nuances of book puters but I do know that I was getting ,what i now realize, were slow connections and the need to constantly reboot to get a connection until I updated to 9.2.1. The latest ethernet extension update seems to have helped as well. It doesn't come thru on sw update but is available at apple downloads. I am assuming this problem occurs even after you refresh your modem by shutting down for awhile since you have been testing it on other machines. Before the updates I downloaded binary usenet files at around 15-30 kps according to hogwasher. Now I normally see speeds of 100-150 kps. Downloading 100 files takes less time than it took me to write this reply. Do you have a reason other than a toast conflict or something for not going to 9.2.1? It seems i'm not telling you anything an apple tech shouldn't have told you. I am also assuming that you have ruled out your isp by trying the different machines during the same time period. About every 2 or 3 days i lose connectivity from their side for awhile (PacHell). The average down time seems to be 5-10 mins. but it lasted for about 4-5 hrs one day. I did nothing but refresh my modem with no results and then tryed again every so often until it came back and worked normally. I wish you luck on this and am interested in what more knowledgable folks have to say on this as well.

I havent got 9.x installed at all but when i did install it again it did not work. It is not the download speeds i am having problems with is the hole connection it just is not there for the Ti.
