Hi,
Think it sounds like a config problem, i.e. you will cotact the ISP for guidance.
The only other thing that can cause this is a trojan infection i.e. the trojan is using all the bandwidth. So do a full virus & spyware scan, also resize your pagefile, i.e. increase the size by 1meg then reduce it back to where it was, this recreates the pagefile and drops anything that is living in there, virus scanner don't look at the pagefile.


>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...
