[QUOTE="Janx, post: 5427150, member: 8835"] Have u got AT&T Uverse or AT&T DSL. technically, they are VERY different and seperate divisions of AT&T even though they both use DSL. what speed package do you have? What speed does speedtest.net tell you that you have? on each PC, open up a command prompt (Start->Run, type CMD and press ENTER) type IPCONFIG to see your IP address and that of the gateway ping the gateway (PING X.Y.A.B) where X.Y.A.B is the IP address of the gateway Ping google.com to prove you can get to the internet Do this test before you start the download and during the download when there's a problem If you lose your IP address, that PC won't be able to do anything If it keeps its IP address but can't ping the gateway, then your gateway has gone wonky if it can't ping google, (but the rest works), then your local network is fine Odds are good, your router is giving all the bandwidth to the downloader PC. The rest of the PCs are starved, so they return an error that they can't reach the gateway. If you connect all your PCs via wire (not wi-fi) can you repeat the results? On my u-verse, I can surf the web on my iPhone or PC while streaming a netflix on my xbox. The xbox is the only wired device. [/QUOTE]
