I have a DSL Broadband connection to the internet and am using a Westail Modem.
Latly,as I try to connect to the internet,I am getting on/off moments of
connections to no connection at all.When I get no connection,Internet
Explorer,displays the message"Internet Explorer could not display the page".I
also get the "windows messages","program is not responding"with the option to
"end program". My computer is XP Pro.
I'm just wondering,if this sounds like a problem with the modem or something
else?
Has anyone out there had a similar experience that could help me narrow this
problem down??.Please help.
