I can upload to any other type of file distribution program like email or myspace, but i cant use any site such as imageshack.... it just times out. WHY!?!? this is driving me crazy.
check the size of your file and file type against the rules of the site you're trying to post. I use photo bucket and they have a 500K limit (or something close to that) for non-subscribed users like me!
They also do a poor job of telling you that your picture didn't post. ...small text and such.
no these are 30k jpgs. i wish there was a diagnostic test i could run that would tell me WHY something itsn't connecting. Im also having trouble connecting to people on the network...
Once my router was screwing up small (and large) uploads, seemed to have a real thing against properly uploading gif images. I flashed the router firmware and it was cured. Bad LAN cards can also cause problems, but they would be more likely to show up in LAN file transfers instead of small slow internet transfers.
What you can try to do is completely uninstall and delete the TCP/IP stack and network drivers in windows, and reinstall them (newest versions) and that should probably narrow out any software problems.
If you use a router, try connecting directly to the internet.
And try using a different web browser to upload the images just-in-case.
Other computers on my netowrk seem to be ok. What ever the problem is it's prob going to be in my computer. I'll do what you said about updating the network drivers. I'll aslo find a new card to test.
