Hi guys, Im really hoping someone can help with this:
for the past two days now I've been dropping my BB connection at random and not able to get back on, for no good reason. Sometimes it connects, sometimes it doesn't. Im using a wireless router with a BB modem built in, and can usually get on MSN, but if MSN works, sometimes the web doesn't. Its seriously confusing me, and I've been all over the settings, firewalls, etc. I can't find any good reason. Help!

Hi,
I had a very similare problem just recently and it turned out to be a trojan.
The thing that sorted it for me was a free download from Sophos, ran it in safe mode with command line and it worked a treat.

Failing that....read through this as there are lots of other suggestions and advice. smile

i think i might have solved the problem. i changed the cable that connected the BB modem to the phone socket and that seems to have done the trick. if not, i'll get back to you smile
hi everyone,
im hoping someone on here is more techy than I am!! Recently (like, in the past 2 weeks) my ADSL connection keeps dropping for no reason. I then spend ages trying to get it to connect again (tonight, from 5pm till ), and then it suddenly does for no reason. I've checked over and over again all my settings, checked my firewall, checked for spyware, viruses etc. I've also had BT check the line, and its all perfect. Yet the problem remains. I'm calling my ISP (Pipex) tech support on monday, but if any of you have any ideas, hit me with them!!
I have locked this seeing as you have started a new thread about your ADSL connection problems. confused :?

Tut tut, you two.
N64play, two things to check first, as you are using a wireless gateway router (router with BB modem inside).
1/ Check the wireless connection has a good signal and it is not the wireless that is dropping rather than the BB. Try a wired connection to your PC from the laptop to exclude wireless problems first.
2/ Go into the setup of the router and check out the logs. If the logs show excessive connection dropouts, get your phone line checked by your ISP.
Depending on the type of router, you may be able to get Line attenuation and Noise figures. Attenuation figures should be below 50db ( for 512K connection) and noise above 12db. If you are outside these figures, get your line checked by your ISP.
