    I dunno whether this is the right forum for this, but i remeber seeing a thread awhile ago about someone receiving an extraordinary amount of errors while connected to the internet

    Well now i have the same problem, the advice he got was that it was spyware, well my pc is regularly checked by me with adaware and spybot, both proggies say im Spyware free

    but the errors are still there, have a look for yourself, anyhoo anyone have any other ideas what it could be

    This error thing is beginning to get worse, last night the error reporting went up to 966 errors, now thats with just the modem plugged directly into the phoneline

    Is there any point in contacting Eircom with this because it seems now its down t summit with the line

    That looks like either a dodgy phone line or the modem is going.

    If you have another modem, try that. I would also call Eircom and get them to test the line.

    Later,

    Just so you know, when Eircom test phone lines, they can only test it as far as voice calls are concerned...

    when i use eircom 128k its producing massive errors, like 450 for 2 hours? this is meant to be a digital connection..

    if u find out anymore reply here shin, more than likely its probably eircom.. ill test it on oceanfree soon.

    I used to get those errors and that amount. They would only happen when i would play a cd. Must have been a conflict with the modem or something.

    in your connections properties make sure you have "hardware flow control" "modem error control" and "modem compression" enabled, early versiosn of XP had a nasty habit of turning these off all the time.

    Good idea. Test it with different ISP's so you can get closer to where the problem is.

    You could also bring your PC to a friends house and see if you get the errors there (to rule out the phoneline.) Make sure you try using both your modem cable and his to see if it is a cable issue.

    If you're still having the problems it is either your modem or Windows.

    You could also try reinstalling TCP/IP...
