View Full Version : internet/adsl problem

Hi,

I run win98se on a computer that's connected to a simple peer-to-peer lan
through which an ADSL connection is shared. All works well when browsing the
internet until after some time. Then browsing is tedious as I have to
refresh the page in Internet Explorer a few times to load the page.
Otherwise, IE behaves as if there is no internet connection eg. tries to
search on popular URL's such as www.yahoo.com or displays the typical
"cannot find server" page. Also, Outlook Express tends to not download
messages from some accounts. OE will get mail from most (not all) POP
accounts and almost always fail to get mail from a Hotmail account.

Is it a problem of depleted resources? Is it a networking issue? Any
suggestions as to the cause of the problem and how to solve it would be
greatly appreciated.

Type in a dns ip address of say the router in the dns entry box. It is in the network proprties bit where you set up the tcp/ip address of the card and set it to dhcp etc.

This wasn't a reply to me, was it? It was intended for Franck with the DNS
problem, right?
