11035 2001-04-08 00:58:00 my internet dial up connection keeps bringing up a box every 5 minutes or so. I have recently installed Norton Systemworks and Firewall 2001, could this be the problem?

Thanks

11036 2001-04-08 04:30:00 There are a number of functions which could be causing this. May I suggest the following three:

(i) I am not familar with your Norton's version - but check its 'Program Scheduler' (probably found in your programmes off the Start bar) and ensure nothing in there is 'checked' which effects a live connection.

(ii) Check your 'Synchronisation Programmer' - go Start > Programmes > Accessories > Synchronise. Look and see if you have any thing scheduled for live updates (web pages etc)and what the settings are. Uncheck as required.

(iii) Do the same with your 'Scheduled Tasks' - Go Start > Programmes > Accessories > System Tools.

...Good Luck.
