Disconnection every 2 minutes since I'm on XP...WTF?
 

Hi all,

I have the standard 56K connection, had bought the CD 2-3 years back, and ran it with W98, no problem.
Except that now, I got a new puter, and it has XP Home. The CD didn't autostart, so I had to do the config for myself, directed by the support emails.
Problem is, the connection disconnects itself randomly very often (as quickly as every 5 seconds), on an average of 3min per connection.
Is there anything I can do to stop this? I have already unchecked the "disconnect when idle" thing, un checked anything that talks about auto-disconnection...nothing changed!

Help!

there's some setting in the modem's properties that let you choose how long to wait after idling before disconnecting.

i remember it back when i had a modem, dont have it anymore so i cant tell u exactly where it is.

look under control panel -> modem.

i use nic now, so i removed my modem.

have you contacted your isp?

Yeah, emailed the isp...helpless. Basically, they said it's normal the CD doesn't work, and they had me check the disconnect features...but to no avail.
I have un-checked the disconnect if idle...
Pretty *ucked up

What is this cd that ran under 98? Maybe I missed something, but, what is this cd you speak of?
