Re: Windows XP loosig internet

Well that still doesnt tell me how your modem is connected to your PC.
Ethernet or USB
1) When the PC loses connection, what do you modem status lights
indicate?
2) Your PC, Hardware Devices, your connection Device (Ethernet or USB)
what do properties show for the device.
3) Your PC, Network & Dial up connections, what does it say for your
device?
