Dial Up internet stops receiveing data after about 5 min.

[Guest]

I have a small home network and D-link router with hub. I upgraded my
computer and added a modem for dial up. After about 5 min of use the modem
will not receive data. I can unplug the network cable and reboot and then
the modem will run all day long. Any suggestions? I know it is a network
problem and have checked all my settings but have run out of ideas. I am not
sure why this started after my upgrade. I even happens on an old computer
that I plugged back into my network. It happens with 3 different modems and
a couple of different computers. One was even running win98 instead of xp.
If anyone knows of a setting that could cause this it would be helpfull

Ozzie,

first thing I'd do is update the router firmware. There's a
decent chance that this will fix it, less than 50%, but still
worth doing.

Then please report back here for more advice, if this wasn't it.

I tried what you had suggested and it did not work. Thank you for your help.
Alais I think I will just wipe my computer clean and reset everhthing and
see if it helps.

Ozzie,

that may help, but it is rather radical.

If you haven't done it yet, you could use
