18181 2001-09-04 19:57:00 I seem to keep getting disconnected from telecom for some reason.
It only seems to happen on this comp but my other comp with telecom works good.
Is there a way to fix this.

They blamed the phone line etc, which was what I though was the problem. Then I changed to Paradise.Net and the problem went away (as well as faster connects).

I'm not sure but I think its related to the 083 ... number that Xtra uses, and it has lower priority at the exchange (or somthing like that it was a while ago).

If you are with Xtra, I would recommend finding another ISP as their service is horrible. I used to recommend Paradise net but this changed my mind:

www.idg.net.nz

Go to start>settings>control panel>internetoptions>
connections>(highlight Xtra)>settings>advanced:

Uncheck: Disconnect if idle for ?? minutes
Uncheck: Disconnect when connection maybe no longer needed
