436199 2006-03-07 01:23:00 FYI, everytime I try using my dial-up connection while running Comcast DSL my computer would reboot. Is it wrong to think that I can use both at the same time, if not how can I turn off my DSL (with out taking the RJ-45 cable out or shutting the DSL modem off) to use the Dial-up modem to dial to remote routers for setup... bsmurf1962 (9931)
436200 2006-03-07 03:08:00 I'm guessing there's a conflict between your LAN chipset and your modem.

You're using Windows XP, right? If so,
right-click "My computer"
Properties
"Advanced" tab
Startup and Recovery "Settings" button (near bottom)
Clear the check-mark on "Automatically restart"
OK
OK

You should have an event in the system log.

Right-click "my computer"
Manage
Event Viewer
System
Look for "Error" types

Post the details from the event viewer here to help the helpers.

436202 2006-03-08 01:39:00 Assuming you un-checked the "Automatically restart" check box, could you post the exact error message the next time it happens? kingdragonfly (309)
