| clambake Tl Posts: 1 | Posted - 5/19/2000 3:23:23 AM    Anywhere from 20 seconds to four hours after I connect the modem stops recieveing data. It still sends every once in a while, but it never recievees anything. If disconnect and connect again, it is ok for another 20 seconds to four hours and then it does it again... any ideas why? |

| Frank Tl Posts: 1 | Posted - 5/21/2000 7:07:57 AM I have a similar problem with a 3com v.90. Frequently but intermittantly appears to accept the first few bits of a download, then just stops and, in case of email, times out. The connection is not lost. There is an occasional handshake effort from my end. After a few reboots problem goes away for hours, then resumes without any action on my part that I can determine. Are there any parameters I can check? |
| v.Richard Tl Posts: 6222 USA | Posted - 5/21/2000 1:57:33 PM You can disconnect and check the modem diag screen to see if anything looks unusual - http://808news.com/56k/diag3com.htm I'd be concerned w/ retrains and the final rx/tx speeds compared to original connect rate. However, it could be your ISP beyond the modem: let me tell you that I've tried oodles of ISPs using different access #s & equipment, and none of them is able to provide reliable service all the time - ie, the reliability of Internet Access is nothing like the reliability of making a voice phone call. In particular, the UUNet POP here (used by many different ISPs) will all too frequently will stay connected to my modem just fine, but I lose all DNS/PPP contact with the world - there's not a problem with the modem (does it with 3Com & Lucent), it's UUNet & its access server/router. Sometimes, it will come back and work again, and sometimes I'm just too impatient, hang up, redial and it works again. Aloha, Edited by - v.Richard on 5/21/00 3:17:18 PM |
