1.	Solve : My connection is unstable.?
Answer» Hi everyone, When playing a little online game, or while using msn, i get disconnected for like 10 seconds or so and then it comes back. On my modem, the ''atm'' light turns off and the ''dsl'' one flashes red. I would need UR help to know if that problem is due to some virus, or just from my internet provider... Thx a lot for ur help in advance.Check to make sure you have DSL filters on ALL the phone connections in the house...Hi patio, thx for replying. Yea i actually looked on all the phones and each has its own filter. I use windows xp sp2, high speed bell sympatico internet, amd athlon 1700+, 756 RAM, etc. The problem must be due to something else. What should I do next? I ran a AVG scan in safe mode and it didn't find anything..Spybot S&D found like 3 spywares, deleted em..and adware SE personnal found 27 tracking cookies, which i deleted too. Call your ISP and request a line test...they can do this while you are on the phone with them. Is this a new condition or has it always been this way ? ? Any new construction going on in your area ?Quote from: bennyman on July 22, 2007, 09:14:21 AM Hi patio, thx for replying. Yea i actually looked on all the phones and each has its own filter. ... And each DSL filter is installed in the right direction? Please don't ask me how I know this makes a difference. Hi, Well in the past, like 1 year ago, i've had the same KIND of problems with my connection...I thought it was some trojan downloader that was using my connection to the max...so I just formated.

And each DSL filter is installed in the right direction?
