Hi Whenever I log onto the net, it disconnects it self after about 4 minutes . This happens 4-5 times in the first 30 minutes of being on the net. I have checked the settings and the timeout box is not set. I have spoken to my ISP and they say the modem is not configured properly. Any ideas? Thanks

Are you saying that only happens in the first 30 minutes and that it doesnt happen after the first 30 minutes ? > I have checked the settings and the timeout box is not set. > I have spoken to my ISP and they say the modem is not configured properly. > Any ideas? Try it with no phone on the line when the modem is being used. If it doesnt hangup if you manage to get past 30 mins, most likely its the modem retraining mindlessly and the hangups are due to retrain failures. Check the after call stats after the modem has dropped out and see how many retrains have happened. http://www.56k.com/trouble/connect.shtml#k56stat spells out pretty clearly how to do that.

One of them if most likely interfering with the modem. Other than that flash upgrade the modem bios & return the modem setings to defaults.
