Problem with broadband connection :S

Victor_ffx · 12-24-2007, 08:03 AM

Hi all,
Just recently my internet connection has been disconnecting itself every 5 minutes and when I reconnect I have to wait for the page to not load and then click "diagnose connection problems"

I have two different connections from two different ISPs and it happens with both of them, does anyone know what's going on?

Also does anyone know how I can change my settings so that the internet isn't always on? I want to have to establish a connection to use the net.

Many thanks again guys,
Vic

what's your connection, dial up?

No it's a broadband/ADSL connection. 1mbps I think.

connect an alternate pc/laptop and see if the problem persists, if so, call your ISP asap

cheers

edit : ah i didn't read your post properly, then there is a problem with your PC if both isp has the same probs

Okay,

can anyone help me with the second bit of my post? The bit where I said I only want to be able to go on the net when I'm connected, I don't want there to be a continuous connection in the background all the time.
Thanks
