| 325822 | 2005-03-08 19:25:00 | No electrical equipment by the phone. Sometimes have a cellphone with me, but again still have the problem when the cellphone is not in the room. I've checked everything that indicates that it could disconnect - sometimes get disconnected while downloading my email. | beanie (7346) | ||
| 325823 | 2005-03-08 19:48:00 | What email program are you using If Outlook Express check Tools/Options/Connections There is a box there to disconnect after sending/receiving. |

| 325825 | 2005-03-09 10:24:00 | try changing the cables that connect the modem to your outlet BTW you wont hear line noise, its electronic. thats why telecom needs to do a line test. go to the modem manufacter site see if there are updated drivers there did you update your modem drivers from the microsoft site ( not the most reliable drivers around), if so roll back the modem driver to the older one |

| 325827 | 2005-03-10 03:37:00 | I've had this problem (or one that's nearly identical) before, and I have a DSE modem too.. Hmm.. wonder if there's a connection? Anyway, the way I've fixed it the last few times it's happened is to uninstall the modem in windows, shut the PC down, open the case and change the PCI slot that the modem is installed in. Even if this means you have to swap with another PCI card because there are no free pci slots. Reboot the PC, re-install the drivers in windows, and give it a go. It works untill you either re-install windows, install something like SP1 or SP2, or make some other major change to windows. I've done this about 5 times now (over the course of a few years) and it works every time. For me at least. Don't ask me why it works, because I don't know... Hope this helps :) |

| 325828 | 2005-03-10 03:50:00 | I used to use a USR Sportster and never had any problems. These are really good modems and woth the extra money. You may want to run "eventvwr.exe" and check the system log and see if you have any problems. Also you can view the properties of the modem select diagnostics and select "append to log". Next time you get an error check this log. |

| 325829 | 2005-03-10 04:05:00 | I'm pretty sure I brought this modem once. Coz I wanted to use the speakerphone function. It was laggy as hell, just to connect. I too, had probs with it. I took it back to DSE, and got a refund. I would replace the modem and get another modem with a speakerphone function. |

Hmm.. wonder if there's a connection? i doubt it, ive got the same modem and having no problems at the moment, if i do have problems, most of the time it is the phone line. have you tried a different modem?, maybe an external will suit you. |

| 325831 | 2005-03-10 07:38:00 | you say you rang telecom did they do a line test if not ask them too, its free. That will tell you if you have excessive line noise. Yeah but most of the time they will tell you its fine. Its best to tell them not ask them. First can you hear any line noise. If so, harass Telecom. If not still doesn't rule out line problems. Trouble is if its outside your gate then its Telecoms problem if its inside you get stuck with it. How many jackpoints are there all up? Check each one, one or more may have corrosion. How about the cables from each of them? Nice newish ones or old as the hills? Any water likely to be getting in there? And the jackpoints themselves, are they the old 3 wire ones or the newer 2 wire? I think it sounds like line probs rather than the PC. |
