sometimes my DSL slows to a stop ("finding website" or "waiting for reply"). then when i start my dial-up connection (which i have as a back-up internet connection method), the DSL suddenly starts going again before the dial-up connection is finished!

anyone know what causes the DSL slowdown/stop, and then the sudden DSL reactivation after i start a dial-up connection? does my computer lose contact with the DSL modem for a while? thanks in advance.
