Very frustrating week as my internet connection is not working
properly, and worse not even consistent.

Either my connection seems normal or the link up then down alternating
for hours.

I'm running Vista 32
Using either my speedtouch 536v6 or Belkin G wireless router to
access. Problem occurs with either.
Have used filtered dsl line or not. Problem occurs with either.
Have shut my comp. off. Problem occurs with either.
ISP have visited twice, check the line, shrugged their shoulders and
closed the ticket.
And worse of all not consistent, so it's hard to locate the problem.
It connection will work fine for an hour (like right now) then just
stop working.

I have reset both modem, reset user setting, obtained new ip, etc,
etc.

Does anyone have any ideas?

I just read about unchecking IPv6, but will wait until my connection
drops again.

Also Network Magic does not detect my internet connection, when I know
it's working. Strange

Thx

Dan

Have you actually called your service provider to see if they are
experiencing any problems? When my internet connection goes down, they're
the first people I call.

Service provider has been called at least 5 times, with two visits and
no solution.

Do you have the firewall turned on in Vista? Try turning it off. How about
antivirus? Which one are you using? If you are activly using an antivirus
is it up to date? is the Network cable plugged into the motherboard or do
you have an add-on NIC? Maybe your NIC is flakey.

Since you are using a wireless router, do you have a wireless phone anywhere
near the router? If so, they could be using the same frequencies.

These are all issues that I have come across with flakey internet
connections in the past.

You're right. Fortunately you're there to point out deficiencies. Thanks.

I have, on many occasions, had service providers come out and not find any
problems, only to have the problems miraculously clear themselves later on.

There may be no problem at the users site, maybe it's in the NOC or
elsewhere.

Are you using WPA encryption, by any chance? I had my ADSL set up that way
at first, and it was constantly cutting out on me, then coming back on.
Changed it to WEP, and it doesn't happen any more. Sure, the encryption
isn't as good, but then I'm not doing that much high-privacy stuff here
anyway. Just wondered if that might be your problem, too.

I don't think it has anything to do with the wireless, as the problem
still exists if I use the speedtouch modem.
Also, the problem still occurs if my comp. is off.

I'm starting to really think that the problem is not on my side of the
wall. Unfortunately, they have a monopoly in the country.

Thx anyways
