145313 2003-05-18 00:05:00 when i connect to the internet it interferres with music being played on my computer, but only for a short period of time. it happens around the time that the internet port is opened. also when i receive a phone call the ringing is played through my computer's speakers. im sure neither of these things are mean't to happen. anyone know how i can stop this?

thanks.

It is caused by the modem your using being "soft" which means it uses its CPU for its instructions and when you initiate a connect it always takes the cpu out for a second. the only way to fix it is to get a "hard" modem, for example an external one.

With your phone ringing through your computer well i'm not to sure about there will be a setting to turn this off but i obviously don't have the same modem so i don't know.
