For the past year I have used DSL to connect to the internet. Haven't had any problems( other then good speed), particularly with any of the file sharing programs (Kazza, edonkey etc.)
A few days ago I switched to cable service ( Time-warner, Motorola modem)
Ever since then I lose my internet connection after anywhere from 10-180 minutes when using any of the file sharing programs. The internet will not reconnect without doing a reboot.
I have disable the firewall, connected directly to the modem from the PC and thru the hub to the PC. Tried various combinations of speed tweeks, and minimizing sources in the file sharing programs.
Looking for other ideas
running win98se on a 700mhz AMD, with 256m ram, 10-15 GB of free HD space
dsl-ok, cable loses connections help
