losing connection

[firefight]

i had windows me and while i was online everything was good. i bought this computer and it had windows xp already on it. i can be chatting on a messanger or just surfing the web and it like the computer will stop comunicating with the server. it still shows that i am connected but the information is not being sent. i hooked up the computer with me and it stays working fine. can anyone tell me why??

Have a look in Device Manager & see if everything is OK .

Sometimes you can try every setting under the sun and still not get it to work correctly. In my experience when you change the modem it should work.

We get faulty modems in all the time.
