| 500797 | 2006-11-21 05:11:00 | It happens here sometimes too. Most probably coz its dialup. Could even be the ISP. Altho 128mb isnt exactly a lot running XP. Most probably running out of ram. |

| 500799 | 2006-11-21 05:22:00 | Is the ME PC the PC dialing up to the net, or is it on a network (connected to another pc, that connects to the net)? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 500800 | 2006-11-22 00:06:00 | No network or anything.....its dialing it itself....the Windows XP px doesn't exist anymore....it was sold | zahmad (8963) | ||

As for why the XP appeared to always request immediately, could be because XP is a newer O/S and handles requests a lot differently from ME. |
