DSL lagging problems (yes, evil problems)

[imported_Ziggy]

I have Bellsouth DSL and all is well and good with it except that it constantly (every 5 minutes or so)seems to lag or (momentarily) freeze. Usually after about 30 seconds it will jump back to normal. Is this some type of configuration problem?

I have Alcatel speed touch enternet thingy.
(phoneline - dsl modem - ethernet card in computer)

I usually get about 1200 down, 150 up.

call your provider.

Ask your tech support if you would get better results by specifying the IP address under Network - TCI/IP Properties, instead of letting your system deterimine it automatically. I know it helped when I had that problem. Your tech support should know the correct entry.

Hope that helps.

Alright, I went to bellsouth's interactive help thingy, and the helper took over my pc and changed the ip and sub net mask, but it won't get past the authorization stage unless I unchange everything.

I go back right now.
