I'm curious about what is occurring.  I don't know enough about ping to be sure I understand such a test.  I know about pinging a site but I didn't know people pinged specific pages on sites. Perhaps my question can be put this way:

The page in question is one from which you initiate a download but it isn't a direct link to the file.  Would ping give different results in one case as opposed to another?  Also, when you ping a page as opposed to a direct link to a file, is the return received by different ports, which would tell you if a port is blocked by the computer or router?

Exactly Gene.  I will try to find out if the incoming and outgoing number of net packets from his pc is as it should be.

I doubt the problem is limited to one site.  Is that why you are asking that it be pinged?

Hi Mike.  If you know the direct address of the site's download page, please do the following and email me the results.

go to your command prompt ant type:

ping followed by the download page's address.  Once you hear any output from the screen reader, press Alt+space and arrow up or down to edit, then to select all.  Then get to edit again in the same way and look for copy.  Then go to notepad, paste the results and email the text to me.  I should be able to tell you what to do after reading the result of your ping.

Hi All,

I can download a file with Windows 10, but I can't using Windows 7.  It's the same exact URL.  I can download this file with any browser on Windows 10, but it won't download with any browser with Windows 7.  With Windows 7 the download will start, but it'll fail from anywhere from a few seconds to a couple of minutes, where with Windows this 1.1 GB file will fully download in a couple of minutes.  I am not getting any errors or security messages on the Windows 7 computer at all, it's like the download is timing out. I tried different ethernet cables and ports and didn't help.  Does anyone have any idea as what I need to check?


Stay safe and take care.  Mike.

Hi Jaffar,

 

I've rebooted the modem and router several times over the last 2 days and it hasn't helped.

 

Ordinarily I would take you up on the remote session, but we're leaving this house in the morning and going back home and we won't be back to this house for 3 weeks.  A close friend is is a tech and he's going to stop by the house and take a look at what's going on.

 

Thank you very much for your offer to remote into my computer and all your input, it's greatly appreciated.

 

 

Stay safe and take care.  Mike.

Hi Mike.  I think your windows 7 pc is not able to recieve network packets in a stable manner.  This may be caused either by your ethernet card or your router.  If you are on a router, I would suggest you reset your router, restart your machine and see if it helps.  another scenario would be that your ethernet card needs either a drriver reinstall or an update.  Use your windows 10 pc to go to your window 7 ethernet card's website to check for the latest driver and update appropriately.  Install the updated driver, reset your router and restart your pc to see if it solves your problem, if not, you can get back to me and i will arrange a remote session with you if you like and help you troubleshoot your pc.  Cheers!

I really don't think this will help, but I'm curious what would happen if you try a different download location.  Are you using the same download location with all browsers?

Gene

Yes, I did.  The file would have never started downloading unless I activated the download button.

Actually when I paste the URl into the Run dialogue, a browser or just press
enter on it the file starts to download, but it fails anywhere between 10 &
65%.  I've tried with Edge, Chrome and Waterfox on my Windows 7 computer and

Hi all,


Can anybody recommend a set of computer speakers that has the volume knob on one of the speakers? I recently bought a set of speakers but they have an inline volume and I'd rather the volume be on one of the speakers to make it easier to reach.


I'd also like to get them from amazon because I have a gift card I need to use.


Thanks.

ping followed by the download page's address.  Once you hear any output from the screen reader, press Alt+space and arrow up or down to edit, then to select all.  Then get to edit again in the same way and look for copy.  Then go to notepad, paste the results and email the text to me.  I should be able to tell you what to do after reading the result of your ping.  HTH and Cheers!

Hi All,

 

I can download a file with Windows 10, but I can't using Windows 7.  It's the same exact URL.  I can download this file with any browser on Windows 10, but it won't download with any browser with Windows 7.  With Windows 7 the download will start, but it'll fail from anywhere from a few seconds to a couple of minutes, where with Windows this 1.1 GB file will fully download in a couple of minutes.  I am not getting any errors or security messages on the Windows 7 computer at all, it's like the download is timing out.  I tried different ethernet cables and ports and didn't help.  Does anyone have any idea as what I need to check?

 

 

Stay safe and take care.  Mike.
