I have a P4 system that will not connect with my DSL connection, I get a "no peer detected" error. I also have a P3 that connects and maintains that connection. I have networked the two but I cannot have them within 8 feet or so of each other without the connection being dropped. The P4 exceeds the requirements and has a SIS chipset.

Not a 100% sure here but BT recommend keeping the modem/Dsl unit well away from any interference so they must have experienced this before, if it helps have you tried different positions for the adsl not near electric computer monitor etc.. eg on the floor away from all of the power mag souces?

Sorry but I talked to a BT also and got the same answer. I did however come to the conclusion that the ddr memory I was using was interfereing (noise?) with the dsl. I am lucky enough to have a motherboard that supports both ddr and sdram. Since I switched to sdram I no longer have any problems. Thanks for the answer.
