my modem randomly resets. not sure what to do next

[scarlic]

Gotta type fast because my modem resets on its own -- it's possessed.

I have a Dell Dimension 4550.

I have DSL connection, using a Touchstone Telephone Modem.

I run Winsdows XP and it was installed at purchase. I use Explorer 8.

My firewall is on and I also use Lavasoft Ad-Aware, Anniversary Edition.

The model resets randomly. Sometimes it's working for an hour, other times
it resets every other minute.

I have a Linksys wireless router attached to allow access to my son's
laptop. It has worked flawlessly.

I have called my ISP support center. First, I replaced the modem. They've
come to the house and my connection is fine and the modem is in good health.
They cannot find a problem from their end to mine. Now, I suspect something
in the software is causing this issue.

I have updated the modem driver, reinstalled my anti-virus software and am
now firmly stuck with this annoying problem.

When I lose connection, sometimes the Network Diagnostics tool can
re-establish connectivity. When it does, I get this diagnostic log report:

More descrition of how the modem is set up would be needed.

Since you have mentioned a wireless router, the most recommended set
up is;

DSL Modem ---> Wireless Router WAN port -->> all PCs (wired and
wireless.)

You then need to make sure that the router has the latest control
"system" (known as firmware) installed onto it. If you you do not,
you are normally allowed to do the update fro free (same hardware
version level.) However, you should always update when using a wired
connection to the router.

 

[R. McCarty]

Do you have all the phone outlets ( with devices ) filtered ? ADSL &
phone traffic uses different parts of the available line spectrum. To avoid
interference phones need to have band pass filters installed on them.

Why would you need a modem driver ? - are you connected to the
modem using USB ? Also if you have a Router then the modem would
be setup in "Bridging Mode" where the router has control of it.

i don't have the phone lines filtered. can you point me to an instructional

modem to a USB port on a PC.

 

[smlunatick]

i just updated the firmware. hope this is the answer. thanks.

Gotta type fast because my modem resets on its own -- it's possessed.
I have a Dell Dimension 4550.
I have DSL connection, using a Touchstone Telephone Modem.
I run Winsdows XP and it was installed at purchase.  I use Explorer8.
My firewall is on and I also use Lavasoft Ad-Aware, Anniversary Edition.
The model resets randomly. Sometimes it's working for an hour, other times
it resets every other minute.  
I have a Linksys wireless router attached to allow access to my son's
laptop. It has worked flawlessly.
I have called my ISP support center. First, I replaced the modem. They've
come to the house and my connection is fine and the modem is in good health.
They cannot find a problem from their end to mine. Now, I suspect something
in the software is causing this issue.
I have updated the modem driver, reinstalled my anti-virus software and am
now firmly stuck with this annoying problem.
When I lose connection, sometimes the Network Diagnostics tool can
re-establish connectivity. When it does, I get this diagnostic log report:

More descrition of how the modem is set up would be needed.

Since you have mentioned a wireless router, the most recommended set
up is;

DSL Modem ---> Wireless Router WAN port -->> all PCs (wired and
wireless.)

You then need to make sure that the router has the latest control
"system" (known as firmware) installed onto it.  If you you do not,
you are normally allowed to do the update fro free (same hardware
version level.)   However, you should always update when using a wired
connection to the router.

You did not mention "where" the DSL modem is connected? It should be
on the router's WAN port.

Also, you might want to start by reading the following FAQ:

http://www.dslreports.com/faq/faq

 

[R. McCarty]

You ISP should have provided a packet of filters. One with a dual out,
one labeled phone the other modem. The remainder of the filters are
just inline. ( You plug the filter into the wall outlet and then the phone
plugs into the filter ).

If you didn't get filters I'd contact your ISP provider and request them.
You can buy them at Radio Shack stores but you'll pay too much for
them. ( And have to try and sidestep their insistence on getting your
phone # ).

As to equipment setup you want the modem to act as a "Passthru" type
of device so you don't get dual NAT activities. The scope of how to
do that is beyond a newsgroup answer. You can get help with setup
of broadband equipment at a website DSLreports.com using both the
FAQ & Forums sections:
http://www.dslreports.com/

i don't have the phone lines filtered. can you point me to an instructional
that's for beginners like me?

second point? i don't knoe, seemed like the thing to do since I was having
modem trouble.

Do you have all the phone outlets ( with devices ) filtered ? ADSL &
phone traffic uses different parts of the available line spectrum. To
avoid
interference phones need to have band pass filters installed on them.

Why would you need a modem driver ? - are you connected to the
modem using USB ? Also if you have a Router then the modem would
be setup in "Bridging Mode" where the router has control of it.

second point? i don't knoe, seemed like the thing to do since I was having
modem trouble.

Could you verify something for me ?

Is this the device that provides your Internet ?
This happens to be a cable modem (despite the corny product name).

http://www.arrisi.com/product_catalog/_docs/_specsheet/060510_Touchstone_Telephony_Modem_TM502G.pdf

Please get a complete model number off the unit. We could be
giving you some very bad advice, if in fact the modem
is a cable modem and not ADSL.

Here's another question: You stated "I have a Linksys wireless router
attached to allow access to my son's laptop. It has worked flawlessly."
Not to criticize the statement, but, to get to the actual problem; how
can your son's laptop connection to the router work flawlessly if the
modem is resetting? Either the son's computer loses connection also, or
the problem isn't with the modem. If the "flawless" part is that your
son's computer continues to communicate with the router, but not the
internet, that could be a problem with the modem disconnecting.

Guess it depends on where you live. I bought a switch last week from the
local one and the first thing they asked for after "Will that be all?" was
my phone number.
