| 699841 | 2008-08-24 01:01:00 | Recently made the transition from Win98 with an internal Nokia ADSL modem that never gave me a problem. My new fast processor, large memory computer using Vista Home Premium with a new external modem is continually freezing on IE and FF3. Blamed AVG so changed to Avast, still same problem. Thinking it could be the Vista's over protective shields. This happened before the Olympics so don't think its video streaming causing overloads in our rural area. Thought of changing ISP's, but it only started with the new setup. Any help will be appreciated |

| 699843 | 2008-08-24 01:12:00 | My new fast processor, large memory computer using Vista Home Premium with a new external modem is continually freezing on IE and FF3. When you say "new external modem is continually freezing on IE and FF3" Can you explain a bit more on what’s happing?? Can you not get any internet access when the modem freezes?? What type of external modem do you have?? Have you tried a different external modem?? |

| 699844 | 2008-08-24 01:19:00 | Hi Stu, ISP is: Xtra. External modem is: Dynalink DSL-502T Sometimes I can get straight on with either browser. Other times it says cannot connect, etc Or you may get the home page, probably out of the cache and it will not go any further. If I close the browser and go straight back in, often it will connect. So many variables. Thanks. |

| 699845 | 2008-08-24 01:25:00 | Sounds a bit like the modem can you try a different one? | gary67 (56) | ||
| 699846 | 2008-08-24 01:34:00 | Will see if I can borrow a different type of modem and give that a try. You can be browsing away OK then things just stop. If you waited long enough it cranks up again - - - Have allowed popup and similar but it still stops without any obvious reason. Thanks |

| 699850 | 2008-08-24 08:11:00 | Sorry, the only firewall I know I have on board is in Vista. But the modem says it has SP1 Firewall protection? |
