my modem keeps disconnecting at various times even during
download activities. i have reformatted the harddrive
reinstalled xp pro and a few other software progs. when i
connect to my isp the modem connects and allows browsing
and email downloads. when it feels like it the modem
disconnects. help.
 
This sounds like one a two things. Most likely is that
the cord your using to connect to the wall jack is a
P.O.S. I would try switching cords. If this doesn't
help, check to pins that are used for the connection on
both the computer's modem, and the wall. Try a different
wall jack if you can. Might call the ISP also.
