DSL Annoyance

[voogru]

hello,

Im having a small problem with my dsl when it connects. it seems whenever i connect it first goes to DISCONNECTING then i click cancel and try it again and it works. the thing i i gotta do this every time and its a little annoying.

i have some form of a 3com dsl modem.

any info will be great thanks

you might try looking over at the www.dslreports.com forums. My verizon connection loses sync about once a week, I just have to power the modem off and on - and its fine.

Hey Voog! First the PcChips mobo purrs like a kitten now! HA! I Won!
Ok back to you..
What is your network adaptor? Is it a 3 comm too? I had one in mine, and ended up pulling it out and putting in a linksys that I bought, it solved about 70% or the problems I was having like;

• Modem wouldn't connect
  turn off modem wait
  turn on modem wait
  turn off modem reboot
  reboot
  turn modem on after reboot
  yadda yadda yadda......

Your's also sounds like it might be something, in the modem software or a driver (doesn't have to be the modem) either missing or corrupt? You might want to double check in the sys info and look through every thing.
What are you running? Whats your video card? You dont have a regular internal win-modem still in your computer do you?
Dude you know the drill

Funny I guessed it was bothering you
Well that was easy ......

It's probably the 3comm, mine (I went with a linksys 24.99 when it's not on sale) never does that now that I replaced the card,.
