| 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) | ||

| 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. |
