I can connect any time morning or day with no problems. Between 6:10pm and midnight, seven days a week, I continue to get dropped every 30 seconds. I have turned off all scheduled maintenance programs in XP and all other installed programs that I can locate. The phone company checked and says it is not their line. I have tried two separate modems; an external USR 56K V90, and an internal Prime Periperals 56K V90. I have tried disabling error control and flow control in the modem settings. I tired another computer on my line and it connected with no problems. I also took my system to another home and connected with no problems. Weird to say the least. I am using and AMD Athlon 1.333CPU on a ASUS A7A266 MOBO. Creative Labs Sound Blaster Gamer 5.1 sound card. A SCSI Plextor CD-ROM and CD-RW through an Adaptec 2920 SCSI card. Also have a Creative IDE 52X CD-ROM installed. I have been on line for 6 years with no problems. This problem may have started when I installed Win XP Profession last month with a clean install. At least it was around that time period. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I am stymied. Any suggestions at all I will try.

Thanks for the help, however, I have switched ISP's with no luck. First was EarthLink then to a local ISP. Same problem with oth so it appears it is not the ISP.

Thanks for the help, however I have already switched ISP's. First with EarthLink, then to a local ISP. Same problem with both so I ruled out the cause.

Are you using XP certified drivers from the manufacture? Win XP will install a "Generic" driver for many modems that may not be the best driver for your paticular modem. Go the the manufactures web site and download MS XP drivers. Keep in mind that Win2000 drivers are not XP drivers. If the manufacture does not offer XP drivers then get a modem from a manufacture that does.
