From time to time (used to be now and then - now it is frequent!) while
playing an online game all activity will stop and the connection to the game
will be broken. Initially I thought it was a problem on the game server so I
would just reconnect.
Lately this has become more frequent and more serious....
When this happened today I opened my email program and got the message that
couldn't connect - no DNS or network problems.
I can't ping out or anything.
If I double click the connection icon in my system tray it flashes up for a
second and disappears. If I try to disconnect nothing happens. All I can do
is reboot in order to drop the connection and reconnect. Then all is fine...
for 30 minutes or so!
Someone suggested deleteing the logs for my ADSL modem, but I don't know
where they live or if this is the problem.
Single user USB ADSL modem. WinXP Pro.
Anyone seen this problem?
I have spoken to local friends who use the same ISP (and same online game)
and they don't have this problem.
