ok ok do one more thing

plug your laptop in directly to the router with a lan cable

turn your wifi off if you have a wifi switch like most laptops...then try again

So it works again...

I didn't try what you said, because I'm too lazy. But it works now.

The difference from now and then is that my brother is no longer using the house pc. He was downloading like 3 movies...but it still doesn't make sense.

next time it does it, I'll be sure to do what you said.

if he is using bit torrent it does make sense

i dont think cb7tuner is on the fastest server out plus when you use wifi you slow yourself down considerably

whenever i download stuff on torrent.... all my web traffic slows down to downtown rush hour traffic. because there are connections established from all over the world to your computer both upstream / downstream this creates a serious bottleneck...

tell your brother to change the bandwidth settings if he is using torrent to low.. this may help next time

If you cannot ping cb7tuner.com, try to ping 209.124.82.30

if you can ping that, edit your hosts file to direct to that ip address (this is provided there is a DNS issue somewhere down the line)

Browse to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

open that file using a text editor (notepad)

add this line to the bottom, and save the file.

209.124.82.30          cb7tuner.com

crzytuning doesnt have a static ip, so adding anything to the hosts file for that will not work.

good one.. i have never tried this...i was suspecting a DNS problem.. i still think it is his brother hoggin the bandwidth tho.

The weird part is that I've never had this problem before. And I also visit sites that are on a much shittier server than cb7tuner is on.

Either way, thanks for the help guys. I'll do what Phempa suggested.
