468619 2006-07-04 19:15:00 You could try setting your DNS servers. I had a different problem solved by doing this. My internet activity would stop if the computer wasnt used for a few hours.

I use 202.27.184.3 & 202.27.184.5 for Xtra.

468623 2006-07-05 21:12:00 Some of the modems have Firmware upgrades for a restarting after a problem fault, check the Xtra help pages. PaulD (232)
468624 2006-07-05 22:17:00 To change your DNS servers, if any are set -

Go into Network Connections > Local Area Connection > Properties > Internet Protocol > Properties and in "Use the following DNS server" addresses change the "Preferred DSN server" and "Alternate DNS server" settings.

Trying using the DNS numbers that sam m suggested, or you could use your own ISP ones.

468625 2006-07-06 09:24:00 Another thing to try is disabling the DNS service:

Start > Run > type services.msc then double-click DNS Client and in the Startup Type choose Disable.
