I've had my connection for about 3 years with Blueyonder, hardly ever have any problems.
The past 2 weeks however :/
I keep getting disconnected, its not your usual modem disconnection either, this is weird, the modem will show as still being online, I'll be downloading or browsing the net, as ya do, then suddenly, EVERYTHING will freeze which is remotely internet related.. even MSN shows as still online, the computer will stay like this until I either reboot OR goto control panel>connections and disable, then re-enable the connection, the moment its disabled ALL of the frozen programs will wake up, MSN shows offline, Firefox browser windows cant find sites etc, then upon re-enabling its fine. This seems to be more frequent in busy times, evenings etc, but does happen through the day.
I'm using Norton System Works 2005, Spywareblaster, ScanSpyware, Spybot and Zonealarm firewall. all the spywares cleard I can't thinkof anything else to solve this with its really draining me :/ - afaik none of this software is making any abvious sign of causing the cut off's
I'm on 4mb/384kb Cable on Windows XP Pro SP1.
