| >| >2. Advanced Users should Reinstall ICS and Networking

| >| >
| >| >4. Scan for Adware/Spyware/Trojans with Spybot from:

| >| > And then run an Online Virus Scan:

| >| >

| >| >
| >| >1. Disconnects can be caused by your Modem or Network

| >| >
| >| >3. Check for IRQ sharing: Click START / Run / type:

| >| > Expand + Hardware Resources / Click on IRQ and
