541753 2007-04-17 05:23:00 Hi all, I am having trouble with my broadband disconnecting every 5 minutes or so usually after about 8.00pm. What I would like to know, is there a log kept in Windows XP anywhere that records the length of time between modem connections I could quote from when speaking to Xtra helpdesk.
Thanks for any help.

541754 2007-04-17 05:30:00 Is it always connected? Or do u have to dial up to get on the net? Speedy Gonzales (78)
541755 2007-04-17 05:37:00 This happened to me.. I found out it was a issue telecom had to deal with. But with some routers/modems there are logs kept.. Please tell us your modem and location as it might not be a line issue. w000t (11562)

541757 2007-04-19 23:25:00 fairly certain xtra have logs they can check themselves - assuming it's xtra you're using.

Also for speed / disconnect problems they can monitor your line for a week to see what's going on - usually not until they have exhausted other options.

I'd give them a ring, they can check your line for faults etc & give you some advice - although ISP helpdesks do tend to offer insultingly basic help by rote, once you get past that they can be quite helpful.
