Thanks & I know it doesn't as I wrote a disclaimer as such but figured
everyone has an ISP.

1a - as I said, I have a single line filter on the phone, which is in the
kitchen & no filter on the wall in the bedroom where the DSL is plugged
in, using a 40 foot phone line

What phone line? What does the phone line have to do with your DSL?
Perhaps
you mean the special DSL cable instead.

thanks malke & as daave stated, it is the phone line running from the room
where the modem is, to the other room where the jack is.

1b - as i stated, w/ a single line filter on the dsl in the wall, it
doesn't work at with one, so i tried several & same result so i removed
it

You need the double-line filter connected to the phone jack where the DSL
cable goes, not a single. The DSL cable goes in one connector and a
regular
phone cable can go in the other.

hmm, yes, i know, but as i think i said, the modem is connected to the wall
jack with no phone involved, as the only phone is to the kitchen jack

1c - yes, i know where the Ethernet goes & i never said it's an internal
modem, rather, it's the Motorola 2210 modem

2 - see 1a

thanks but all is as you say, except the filter allows nothing to
connect
from the bedroom jack, so i removed it & it works, when it does, or else,
nothing w/ the filter

I'm not convinced you have this set up correctly, however it will be
impossible to troubleshoot it without being on-site. You may also have a
faulty phone line which will definitely cause issues with DSL. If you have
an older house, check with your telephone company.

Otherwise, either have a local computer tech come out or post in a more
appropriate forum such as DSL Reports. This is not a Windows issue.

i know as again, everyone has an isp - thanks anyway as i made it quite
clear on more than one ocassion; a phone in the kitchen, the modem in a
bedroom, connected to a wall jack in another bedroom, so i have it hooked up
correctly.

also, it just disconnected agaion, so i tried to reset it, but no luck,
tho' when i call their service line, it usually reconnects & it did - this
is the odd part !

eot ? aok !

Sorry, but I don't have anything further to add so EOT for me.
