Well, let me tell ya, this “err internet disconnected” thing, it’s a real pain in the neck. Drives me nuts, it does. You’re sittin’ there, tryin’ to look at somethin’ on that computery thing, and bam! Nothin’. Just that darn message starin’ back at ya. Makes ya wanna throw the whole thing out the window, I tell ya.
So, what’s this “err internet disconnected” all about anyway? It just means your computery thing can’t get online. Like, it’s tryin’ to talk to the internet, but nobody’s listenin’. It’s like shoutin’ into the wind, ya know? You yell and yell, but nobody hears ya. Frustratin’, real frustratin’.
Now, why does this happen? Well, there could be a bunch of reasons. Sometimes it’s just the wires, ya know? Those little cords that connect everything. They get loose, or bent, or chewed on by the dog (don’t ask!). So, first thing ya gotta do is check them wires. Make sure they’re plugged in good and tight, like a tick on a hound dog.
- Check your wires good. Make sure they ain’t loose or nothin’. Push ’em in tight, see if that helps.
- Look at that little blinky box. The router, they call it. Unplug it for a bit, then plug it back in. Sometimes that’s all it needs. Like givin’ it a little nap.
If the wires ain’t the problem, then it could be somethin’ else. Maybe the internet company is havin’ trouble. Happens all the time, ‘specially when it’s rainin’ cats and dogs. Or maybe it’s that website you’re tryin’ to get to. Maybe it’s gone belly up, ya know? Closed down for good. Or maybe they just blocked ya. Some of them websites, they don’t like everybody. Pick and choose, they do. Hmph.
Sometimes, it’s just too many folks tryin’ to use the internet at the same time. Like tryin’ to get water from a well when everyone in town is thirsty. Just ain’t enough to go around. So, you gotta wait your turn, I guess. Or maybe get yourself a bigger well, if ya can afford it. These things cost a pretty penny, ya know.
And then there’s them fancy settings on the computery thing. Firewalls and proxies, they call ’em. Sounds like somethin’ out of a war movie, don’t it? Well, sometimes them things get in the way. Like a guard dog that don’t recognize ya. So, ya gotta figure out how to tell ’em you’re friendly. Or just turn ’em off for a bit, see if that helps. But be careful, ya don’t wanna let the bad guys in. There’s all sorts of nasty things floatin’ around on that internet, ya know.
What do ya do when you get that “err internet disconnected” thing? Well, first off, don’t panic. Take a deep breath. Count to ten. Then start checkin’ things. The wires, the blinky box, the website. Try different things, see what works. And if nothin’ works, call the young’uns. They know all about this computery stuff. They’ll fix ya right up, most likely.
And if that don’t work? Well, then maybe it’s time to just turn the darn thing off and go outside for a bit. Get some fresh air. Talk to a neighbor. Read a book. There’s more to life than starin’ at that computery screen, ya know. This “err internet disconnected” thing? It ain’t the end of the world, I tell ya. Just a little bump in the road.
Sometimes, just waitin’ a bit helps too. Like waitin’ for the rain to stop. Just give it a few minutes, or an hour, or even a whole day. Sometimes the problem just goes away on its own. Like magic. Poof! Gone. Don’t ask me how it works. It just does.
But if it keeps happenin’, over and over, then maybe you got a bigger problem. Maybe you need a new blinky box, or new wires, or even a whole new computery thing. And that’s gonna cost ya, that’s for sure. But sometimes ya gotta bite the bullet and do what ya gotta do. That’s life, ain’t it? Always somethin’ breakin’ down, always somethin’ needin’ fixin’.
So, there ya have it. That’s my two cents on this “err internet disconnected” business. Hope it helps ya some. And remember, don’t go throwin’ that computery thing out the window. It’s probably just a little
