Ok i've had it with my connection keep dropping out in a weird way and wondered if you guys can help.
I live in chelmsford, essex in the UK and have an AOL 1Mb connection using the BT Voyager 100 ADSL USB Modem
My problem is that after a while (especially in the last 2 weeks but has happened alot before) pages will not load up and i do not have any in or out going data (i get this information by lookign at uTorrent
)
[DAMNIT it just done it again
] However the DSL monitor shows two green arrows (indicating a live good connection)
To 'fix' my connection i have to tell the AOL dialler (some other crappy bloated peice of shit, found here "C:\Program Files\Common Files\AOL\ACS\AOLDial.exe" if you wanted to know) to disconnect after its finished thinking about disconnecting thought about spam and then remembered that i told it to disconnect it disconnects, i then have to tell it to connect again going through the same shit.
I thought that it possibly could have been my phone line socket as my dad doesn't seem to experience the same troubles (on a different computer in a different room) but i have no idea how to 'test it' as such.
This is driving me mental, We're planning on switching over to talk talk broadband and buying a Belkin wireless modem so as to network the PC's Laptops (and my psp
) would this fix this issue?
Any ideas as to a fix would be great.
thanks
