30990 2002-01-13 01:49:00 Help! I have just reformatted my computer and re-installed everything, but now my modem is playing up... it allows me to connect to the net, but after about five minutes it stops responding then disconnects me. What can I do?! Guest (0)
30991 2002-01-13 03:01:00 Assuming your modem is a 56K modem, add +ms=v34,1 to the Control Panel/Modem/Properties/Advanced/Extra Settings.

This will force your modem to connect at 33.6Kbs rather than 56Kbps, the lower speed should give you a more reliable connection.

30992 2002-01-14 11:48:00 I had the same sort of problem and that was with a good ISP and a good Dynalink modem.

In the end, I had to splash out for a $300 US Robotics hardware modem and now I have no disconnection problems whatsoever.

It seems that not all hardware modems are as good as they should be. Dynalink ones have definitely gone cheap.
