oh, and i forgot to mention, when I was downloading stuff on limewire the other day, it suddenly shut down my internet, and I had to restart my computer to get the internet working on my computer again...

what happened?

EDIT:
uh-oh, massive problem. Time Warner Cable won't give out their DNS server numbers because "It may change every hour, every week, or every day", even though I explained to him that I needed it for one of the programs I was running and to static IP my computer. I also explained that I had done it when I had adelphia and they gave them out just fine (I'm not sure if they did or not, but oh well).

No avail. hmm... I'm gonna call again and tell him I know one of the DNS server numbers and ask for an alternate one... I'll see how that goes.


SECOND EDIT:
second time went better, the guy actually knew, but he transferred me and ended up dialing a wrong number.

third time is still in progress...


THIRD EDIT:
bummer... turns out that if they only give out one DNS server to a customer, that's all they can access... so I can only get one...



what should I use for my alternate DNS server?
