kenwayne Tl Posts: 1 USA | Posted - 11/20/2004 8:37:57 PM My phone lines keep going dead, and unplugging them for several hours returns them to normal. I suspect my USR/3Com (56K, dial-up), since sometimes when it tries to dial, the computer freezes, and all the phones and modem all go dead. This just started happening, and a neighbor also had a similar problem (cable modem). Could this be some sort of virus? Would appreciate any suggestions in case it isn't a virus. |
