| 336195 | 2005-03-20 13:47:00 | Hi there, I have been running a DSE internal adsl modem for a while and whenever I access my mp3 folder to play a few songs while surfing my adsl modem disconnects. This also happens if I print something, it reconnects once the printing has stopped. Any ideas what's happening? Thanks for any help you can provide Craig |

Too late for me, eyes are starting to close up. KK |

An external ethernet router is often better in these situatuions than PCI or USB, but it would be nice to conform the reason before getting an external. |

| 336199 | 2005-03-20 21:15:00 | The internal modem uses the computer CPU as the controller, if you have any other app that grabs 100% of the CPU you would risk dropping the modem connection. | PaulD (232) | ||
| 336200 | 2005-04-01 10:57:00 | I agree what other users say of using external router. I bought one of the dick smiths router XH1175 which comes with firewall support(includes access list control as well). This is the best one i have seen so far. | krival96 (7003) | ||
