Starting to LOSE MY MIND. help...... DSL

[GrimReefer]

After I connect via my USB 4060 speedstream, I can surf the net, play multiplayer games, download files, and post messages at AT, but not for very long. After a few minutes, my line will just stop working. The modem will not send or recieve any information even though I am still connected. When I disconnect, open my DSL Connection, and click connect, it freezes at "Dialing". When I cntrl-alt-del it takes about 10 seconds for the Task Manager to pop up, then I can cancel the "Not Responding" program.

Im running a KT7 raid, tbird 1.1, 512 mb pc133 cas2, win98 se.

At first I thought it was a problem with the USB port, but now I am not sure since my Intellimouse Explorer works fine.

Any ideas?

Have you tried both USB ports with both devices? In other words, have you tried the mouse in the same USB port that you currently use to access the net (and vice versa)? If you haven't tried this, it still might be a problem with the USB port, just not the one the mouse is attached to.

I'ave heard of some situations where people have problems with the 4060 modem & their DSL. You might check Microsoft's support area. I found this one, it may help: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q240/0/75.ASP. Also, it may be your modem. How long have you had it? Call your service provider, if you got it from them. If they warranty the device, you should be able to get some resolution from them.

The easiest thing to do is call your provider and let them sweat it. That's why they have tech support, no?
