ADSL modem

[rothma01]

Hi Guys
I have an intel pro/dsl 3200 modem running on a p3 1ghz pc with 512mb ram. Every so often (too often) the download connection freezes (although the upload is fine). Everything seems to look connected still, although i cannot receive anything. the only way to renew the connection is to reboot, or remove and reinstall the modem. it can happen at anytime, but it especially happens if i burn a cd, or play a video.
Can anyone please help.

Tried looking for the latest drivers for the thing?

Do you have any tweaks applied to your connection? What OS are you using?

[rothma01]

I have tried with and without tweaks. I am using xp pro.

is it a usb, internal pci, or ethernet based modem?

[rothma01]

it is a usb modem. I have no other usb devices installed

usb modem tend to have difficulties installing them.
i had it before, tried another modem, still the same.

conculsion was due to my poor phone line condition.

they probably only tested the lines outside that's coming to your house....so it might be the ones inside your place
