Unable to Access Internet Once Connected

The cause of this issue has been found to be almost exclusive to a set of specifics. If the user is using the Cisco client, Time Warner/Road Runner Internet, and connecting their computer directly to the modem, you may experience this issue. Since this is a Time Warner issue and cannot be fixed by us, you should contact us and we can set you up with an alternative connection method. If you would like to try and set one of these up yourself, please use the Legacy or VPNC instructions.
