IE6 Connection Problems

For the last week my internet connection has been constantly dropping out, as
I use dialup, continuously reconnecting can become expensive and annoying.
Also my modem speed is dropping very slow, which it didn't before.

Hi Michael :)

Try the following and see if it helps:

Click on Tools>Internet Options>Connections tab
Put a check by "Dial whenever a connection is not present"
Click Apply and OK out.
Close IE

If you leave your Internet connection running for lengthy periods, some
Internet service providers (ISP's) drop connections if there is no activity
on the account.

Also...try unplugging the modem for about 5 minutes, then plug it back in
and see if that helps.

and...

Computer keeps disconnecting

Hope this helps
