I'd consider switching to a cable-system, but I was able to come home a lot earlier last year because my phone (and therefore my DSL) was working a couple of weeks before my cable was working. I felt for the neighbors that have ALL their communication through Cox Cable. I can work from home if I can't work from the office only if I have a high-speed connection.
I agree. I've always been more than satisfied by Earthlink's technical support. I have a feeling that their IT people are just as stumped by this one as we are - so I'll cut them some slack.

Anyone still having issues?

Another set of DNS servers to try...

207.69.188.100
207.69.188.101

Well, I lost my ability to access the internet (all pages) even though I was still connected....

The chat tech told me to change from "Obtain IP address atomatically" to use a specific IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. I switched it back to automatic, and I got right on.

I'm having the same problem. I have earthlink. I can connect through Susan's computer (which is where I am writing from), but not mine.

I give live support a try. I too have been happy with Earthlink, though I am not happy about what I am paying ($50/mo.). I need to get off my lazy butt and get them to lower my rate

Those don't allow me to connect via my desktop computer either. :(

I have Time Warner cable, and have unlimited phone, cable TV Basic with one package), and internet access. I have had no problems at all, and pay just a little over $100 for all including taxes and equipment rentals.

After not being able to connect except through a proxy site, I was able to get in now by actually typing letters! Yea, hopefully they got it!

I think the Earthlink people must have done something. I was just perusing through the LoT, came across this thread and remembered that there was a problem.

I had never got around to contacting Earthlink.
