I think it is probably the driver as I had also to change the driver for the printer. The lady had drivers for win98 and not necessarily for win 2000. So I will try the drivers and the spyware removal tools.
I will post at some stage wat's happening.

343285 2005-04-10 08:58:00 I use Win2KPro and when I do as you say and try to disconnect sometimes it can take up to 25 secs to do this. I have always taken this to be the nature of a more sophisticated OS that does not just cut off the program that is using the internet in midstream so to speak. If there is no activity then it will disconnect a lot faster. zqwerty (97)
343286 2005-04-10 09:00:00 Hmmmm.... didn't finish what I was trying to say, on a dual boot, that is using all the same hardware as the Win2K OS I have Win98SE and it disconnects instantly no matter what is happening on the connection to the internet. zqwerty (97)
343287 2005-04-10 09:35:00 It takes a while to disconnect to the internet from my Cheapo modem on XP as well... we may be onto something ;) Edward (31)
343288 2005-04-10 12:09:00 My $10 would be on bad drivers. Hopefully you'll be more careful next time. ninja (1671)
343289 2005-04-10 17:15:00 Jetstream guys!
We are living rural-this is where T..com does not want or can't make enough money!!!
So coming to the problem; I had a hell of a time to install the modem, a LucentWin modem and as far as I can remember it was the problem with finding a (micros.)signed driver.
So I may have to look at that again.

Thanks

Gion :)
