Here is what most of all that stuff means..

Margin (dB) - Signal to noise margin. 6 is pretty bad possibly unusable at times, 20 is very good. You normally want 12dB or better IIRC from back in my DSL days. The higher the number, the better to a point.

Line Attenuation - Measure the amount the signal has degraded. Below 20dB is excellent, above 50 is poor, fill in the dots for anything in between.

Transmit Power - The higher the number, the more power is required to transmit. This number will vary based on the other numbers.

Hmm..

What DNS Servers are you using on your computer?

No idea. Where do I find that out?

Ok, this is getting ridiculous. Not only was my connection droping every 15 seconds last night, but now my connection is constantly dropping during the day. I am getting no more than 2 or 3 minutes worth of connectivity before it drops. Rebooting does nothing.

Dial-up was more reliable than this.

For example if on Windows XP.

#1 Go to Start -> Run.

#2 Type in cmd and press enter.

#3 In the new window, called the command prompt, type in ipconfig /all and press enter.
