I recently reformatted my computer and installed XP Pro upgrade over Windows 98 and patched XP for the Blasterworm. Where I live currently there is only dial-up, so I set up my modem (it’s a Wincomm V.92 56k, using I believe an Intel chipset) and connected to PeoplePC. It seemed fine for awhile, but after a bit of surfing it slows down to nothing. I restarted and tried again, figuring a windows update would fix it. There was indeed an update for my modem, but it didn’t fix the problem. I checked phone line by replacing the current ones and that changed nothing. I even tried it in another computer, running XP Home, and the same thing happened again. It is connected, and says at 40kbps or so, but is barely there in actuality. For the record, Yahoo! messenger still works, but if I try to open IExplorer it will do nothing for awhile, then disconnect. Thanks in advance.
