Intermittent problems on the phone line?
Has this been happening for a long time?
Has the system been running OK for a while with SP2 installed?
I had a similar sounding problem (but I have a router in my configuration, for what that's worth) when my ISP sold out to another and I had to switch setups and after much diagnosis they opened a "ticket" (WOW... so official sounding!) and it took to next morning for it to be fixed.
good luck
>I have a phone highspeed connection with an external modem and I keep loosing the connection. Actually, I'm still technically connected, because my connection icon in the taskpane is still there and my modem lights are all green, but I can't get any response fro any server. My MSN Messenger will also disconnect.

>At that point, if I try to close the connection and try to login again, it will refuse to login. The only way I can get back my connection is to close the modem and switch it back on. Then I will be able to reconnect when the modem has finished it's initialisation. Only to loose it again in a couple of minutes...
