I got a networking issue..

Hmm my normal connection to the net is being temperamental, no not the actually connection from my modem to the net but the connection from this computer to said modem / router as it's well dropping data packets which is normally not noticed but it does tend to slow things down a little or a lot depending on what I'm doing, most times i don't notice it but been getting "this path is too deep" errors when transferring files across between pc's or really slow transfers if using other tools. The one major thing where it's extremely noticeable is when I go to talk to my guild mates on "ventrilo" as well my "ping" time goes from a nice 31ms, to well 15-16s i.e 15-16,000 ms and keeps going till all it says is "ping:" nothing else..
I've tried new network card - still the same.
I've tried different operating system to make sure it's not the driver / OS that's the issue - still the same..
I've tried another PC and put ventrilo on that - worked fine, proved connection was okay..
So I'm thinking it's either the 10-15m cable I have installed or one or other of the ends which are machined on and I don't got no ends so can't easily replace them, also replacing them is a freaking royal pain in the ass.

So at some point soon I'm going to either have to replace the cable - easy enough just about as it runs the full width of the house, i.e full length of my room, into the cupboard up the wall into the attic and then along to the other end of the house to my modem/router, or do I get a wireless card and swap routers to a wireless one which I have got!

can we say ouch! update

Okay I tried the dentures in for 4-5 days but nope they ain't working to smart, taking them out causes great pain as the right hand one of the 2 metal clips that are on it, that clip over existing teeth, digs into my gum pretty much right about where the tooth they put on that side is so thus chewing on that side isn't much fun as the tooth jabs right into the jaw and well it's freaking painful. I can't really chew on the left either or rather I can it's just a bind and well after a few moments of chewing using my tounge to move the food around as well It don't wanna move too much it gets sore too..
Well soup, noodles, bananas and the occasional bites of actual real food meant it was a real bind...
So I've taken them out let them know it hurts like hell and I'll try them again in a day or so i.e the weekend when i'm not eating so much got an adjustment appointment next week so we'll see what that brings. Oh and the clip in the gum I think it's scratched the gum..

can we all say ouch!

I was at the dentist today, to get 1 tooth out and my lovely new denture fitted.
Hmm right now the meds have worn off and i can feel the tooth that was yanked out if ya know what I mean.. The denture fits well enough I suppose, I had better as it darn well felt like it was cutting into one side before the final adjustments were made.
I've to keep it in place for 12hrs and i've got the numbers to phone if I have any problems which I truly hope I don't. I thought about it and I've got some ice cold cider which I may/ may not drink. I'm currently eating chicken soup as it's about all I think I can handle right now..
Oh and wait for it this my 3rd post in as many days, whatever next.
