Ok guys:
I have a Binatone ADSL 500 (latest Drivers) modem.
I have Windows XP SP2 (Clean install as of 10minutes ago :lol: )
And an Internet connection which has a few gremlins!
Background:
I've had ADSL for around a year now, and it has worked great (no d/c / slow d/l speeds). But around 3 months ago it started d/c randomly and it became a real pain in the arse. It got worse and worse until it would not connect at all. I had a BT enginner come out to test the line - it worked fine. Out of desperationg I installed the modem in my dad's PC - and it worked, GREAT(ish).
I then decided to do a complete re-install of windows and see if that would cure it, it did'nt. Weird I thought. After around a month of using my Dad's PC for the net, I happened to re-install windows again for some reason. I again put the modem back into my PC - AND IT WORKED. YAY!
I never discovered why it decided to work.
The problem is, my internet is again starting to act weird, as it did before. I have also noticed that any other programs like SETI, Windows media player, ...anything if running completely stop the internet from working. If I close them, if works fine, until it decided to randomly d/c.
Help me please, I have no idea what the hell is going on!
