Thanks for the info sedative.

Just looked at the WWW and this modem is BUS powered so it is very possible your MB USB port does not have enough to sustain the connection... The Speed Touch USB At-a-glance: • High speed Internet access and regular phone service on the same line • Up to 8 Mbps downstream, 1 Mbps upstream • Supports Windows 98, 98 SE, 2000, ME, Mac OS 8.6 & 9.0, Linux • Connects to USB-port on desktop or notebook computer • USB-port powered (no need for AC adapter • Plug and play • Easy to use installation wizard • Software upgradeable • Approved for connections to all major network operators • ADSL standards compliant (ANSI T1.413 Issue2, G.dmt, G.lite) • Supports PPPoA, PPPoE and LAN functionality • No additional network interface card required Regards, BAH

Do these modems have a lan port on...? If so i would invest in a network card and use the lan port. A friend of mine a a USB cable modem and it used to loose connection and fall over all the time, i connected it to his network port and it was fine.... Also what motherboard are you using it could be that the modem is drawing to much power of the USB port, causing it to fail. Regards, BAH

I guess it has a ATX psu installed...? Regards, BAH

thanks that would be great... Regards, BAH

Ive got to say that i havnt made one coaster yet using the built in burning util... Although i also have nero 5.5 running i seam to be one of the lucky ones and not had any burnng issue's with XP. Regards, BAH

My cable connection dropped loads when the cable operator offered free dial-up for users with standard 56k modems, But those of us who pay to have a fast connection get our bandwidth reduced by the freeloaders..... Regards, BAH

Has anyone found a working link to the file that updates the codec in media played to be able to rip audio cd's to MP3....? Regards, BAH

Dont we all, we have a 2meg pipe at work and boy thats fast.. But i cant get the bosses to agree to let me use some server space for an FTP. Regards, BAH

That looks like you have the 512 downstream and 256 upstream 15k is about right for that service.... The cable company in my area is trialing 1meg down and 512 up at the moment which is what im on. Doesnt make that much difference except i get about 160k/sec on d/loads and 35k/sec on uplads. Regards, BAH

I just use ICQ never looked at any others..... What options are available and what are the benefits...? Regards, BAH

Gents, I posted my guest FTP on #thesource a couple of days ago and it got hit by 60 users in a 1 hour....and no uploads Having said that #thesource site is down at the moment. The name of the game is sharing but i havnt seen that yet. Regards, BAH

Sounds like the specs are ok... What else have you got running while playing cd's..? Whay MotherB are u using does it need updated inf drivers for XP...? Is it Scsi or IDE..? Or it could simply be an incompatible hardware. Regards, BAH

Can someone post the files so i dont have to go and regfister on anglfire Regards, BAH
