I have a DSL connection, and I've went and bought a phone wire for DSL
usage from Radio Shack. The distance from the phone jack to the modem
is not applicable since the phone jack is just four feet from the
computer. That phone jack only services the modem, so there's no
resource sharing on that station. In addidtion, I've called the phone
company to check for a possiable "dirty line", but they reported back
that the diagnostics test that they preformed came back clean.
I'll try a different jack location. That's the only troubleshooting
step that I haven't performed already. I'm really begining to think
that it's either the modem or the ethernet adapter that's causing the
conflict, but we'll try out your suggestions one at a time before
jumping to conclusions.
This is why it's important to give all details in the first post. Your
previous posts gave the impression that you had dialup, particularly
since you referred to "modem drivers". What "modem drivers"? If you
installed a dialup modem in your new computer, you don't need it and it
has nothing to do with your DSL connection. Since you've now told me
that you have DSL:
1. Did you put filters on all your jacks sharing the same phone line as
the DSL connection? If not, please do so. Not having filters will
definitely cause the symptoms you are experiencing.
2. I very much doubt the cabling has anything to do with this unless you
made the ethernet cable going from the DSL modem to your computer
yourself. If you have any hand-made cables, replace them with
store-bought. Poorly made cables can definitely cause the symptoms you
are experiencing.
3. Make sure you have installed the drivers for your ethernet adapter.
If the ethernet adapter is on the motherboard, use the latest
motherboard drivers from Asus. If in doubt about the quality of the
onboard NIC, disable it in the BIOS and put in a PCI NIC.
4. Consider having a local professional come on-site and take a look. I
understand that you feel you are quite computer-savvy, but another pair
of eyes is always useful.
