I have two computers both running XP, and connected to a DSL line via
a router. One computer is running/connecting fine, but the other keeps
getting internet connection dropped. As I am new to XP, I would
appreciate any troubleshooting tips that might help me find what is
causing the dropped DSL.
The signal was initially being dropped after I opened and read mail
and newsgroups. It became more and more random, and now is occurring
several times an hour. ;-Deano

different network card than the one it mentions:
