The Realtek AC'97 Audio Driver Update probably should work even though it says it's an update. Did you try it?

Could you tell a bit more about this? How do you connect to the internet? Does the connection just stop working for moment or does it stay down until you do something about it?

You could try going through this guide just in case it's caused by malware.

Yep, it worked! Thank you guys^^

Hey daigong man, did you keep that 3com pci adsl modem cause you could try this driver and see if it works. http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MODEM/OTHER-MODEM-DRIVERS/3Com-HomeConnect-ADSL-Modem-PCI-10.shtml
Or give me the model of the card and I'll try find an XP driver cause that "Ron" guy doesn't sound like he looked to hard. Usually 3com has pretty good driver support so you should be able to get the old card working with XP.

If it does then that might help with your connection problems.

ADSL external modem. Connected through a ethernet card I installed theother day. Connection doesn't work for a moment. I do nothing, just let it connect again automatically.

Just having trouble sustaining a connection at times, uploading a file thru Rapidshare for instance resets after 5 - 10 MB.

Streaming radio buffers whether I'm listening or upstreaming. BT fluctuates up and down. Dropping from Skype and other IM programs like IRC.

ETA:

Nope ebc dude. Got a new external D-Link DSL 300G Generation II one

Whoa...cuz yeah man the 3COM drivers were like non-existent. I'll check that page out!!

ebc · « **Reply #246 on:** September 10, 2006, 05:25:33 AM »

Yeah man try that driver or if you know the model number there's like a whole list of drivers here: http://www.nodevice.com/driver/company/3Com.html

But I think that Dlink might be crap though, get a different brand like a netgear or something.
You need to get a real modem/router not just modem and also make sure it has upnp.

daigong · « **Reply #247 on:** September 10, 2006, 05:30:17 AM »

LOL Thanks ebc! That lady there did call it a "rental" afterall

I was wondering if I plugged in my ethernet card properly, but it detected, eh? so I'll try that out

ETA:

Yeah man, this might be the trick...I'm looking up the Product # 3CP4224-TLS and it's just a specific one for my ISP Telus

Product itself is called "3COM ADSL Modem PCI" so who knows

ebc · « **Reply #248 on:** September 10, 2006, 08:21:58 AM »

Hmm there's a driver here, give it a go:

daigong · « **Reply #249 on:** September 10, 2006, 08:45:23 AM »

nah...those didn't work.

It's the exact disc I had with 98/ME/2K.

I tried changing slots but it's just dipping in and out like whoa.

ebc · « **Reply #250 on:** September 10, 2006, 08:57:06 AM »

So like when you say it's dipping in and out?
Is the modem losing sync? like does the ADSL light go off?
And do any message's come up on the screen at all when it drops out?
Even try another cable between the modem and the NIC perhaps

病毒很麻烦呀，如想彻底解决，可重装系统，不知道是WINXP OR WIN2000？

daigong · « **Reply #252 on:** September 10, 2006, 09:12:06 AM »

XP lah. And I don't understand Chinese.

The modem lights remain on.

Check this out.

I get no message, just things go from 80 kB/s down + 30 kb/s upload to like practically zero. Pages don't load, then things pick up again. It's been getting freakier and freakier all day.

I'll try finding some cables, straightening em. I'm tempted to reformat

frblckstr1 · « **Reply #253 on:** September 10, 2006, 09:17:55 AM »

^ might it be your modem can't handle the number of connections, shuts the actives down and then they have to be re-connected by XP??

Edit: and there is a patch for XP somewhere about the number of (half) open connections, tried that?

(sorry if you tried that, late in the game

ebc · « **Reply #254 on:** September 10, 2006, 09:23:45 AM »

It's just the modem man, it's a Dlink and it's crap. You gotta try get another one somehow

daigong · « **Reply #255 on:** September 10, 2006, 10:11:08 AM »

lol yeah. I just broke off the bottom of the modem trying to get the damn ethernet cable out.

Thanks for the troubleshooting! Sure beats them chumps at my ISP!

Oh yes please!

Whatever version, I'll take. As long as it does the basics of uploading and downloading, haha.
