WTF is going on?! (Modem Trouble)

    This just started happening to me last night with no settings or anything changed on the computer.

    I get disconnected from the net within ten minutes of logging on!! I have tried connecting to different ISP's and the same thing is happening!!

    It is happening repeatedly and I simply dont know why. If i had done anything to my settings then there would be a possible reason but it is UNTOUCHED. Can anyone help me? A thousand thankyous in advance.

    P.S. I had a look at my modem log and it states things such as NO CARRIER and REMOTE MODEM HUNG UP. I take it this is normal speak for when a connection is lost?

    if you have access to a laptop or a different computer give that a go with the same phone connection...
    that could very well be your problem,
    my line used to give me _lots_ of problems with a lot of noise on it, and just led to disconnection after disconnection.

    make sure you dont have call weighting on....you migthn't have it orderd but they sometimes put it on as a bundel(done it to me, and i have asked them to remove it 2 time and its still on) also make sure that the time idel dissconnection is set to never. (know you said you didn't go near it but you never know with windows) biggrin.gif

    more than likely its your phone line.
    did it happen after storm or anything?
    could be theres a loose con somewhere.
    whats the sound like on the phone? if its in anyway crackly, call eircom and get them to sort it out

    Yeah, tis probably the line. I have a really long, fairly makeshift setup over here. I also notice that I can stay connected if I get a 33.6k connection. Anything over that and I get dropped within five minutes.

    Is it possible to improve line performance without getting a whole new line? Could I get a socket in my room and still be on the one line?

    I think myself its the ISP's... It happens to me when Netmedic reports they are full. Bye-bye connection......

    Just get an extension socket in your room. Its not all that great because its just the same as using a long leed. You can get eircom to put in a second socket on the one line, but they draw it from outside the house, and since there ****0rs will probally charge 10 line rental on it (even though its the same line)
