My Dial-up connection keeps disconnecting!

Sometimes i dont even manage to open my browser before it disconnects and when i do manage to open the browser it disconnects and doesn’t let me re-connect for a good 5 to ten minutes. When i right-click on the dial up connection it has the connect faded out and just takes me to the properties box?

Any idea why this is happening? and if it is a virus causing this…is there a fix?

Please help!

i’m using windows XP and recently upgraded to sp2)

How do i change my laptop modem?

The other strange thing is that even if i unplug my phone cable it still has the modem in engage mode…I dont think it is the modem though because after two attempts i seem to use the internet fine?

Maybe ur modem needs to "heat up" before functioning properly :)

Somebody suggested i use a different browser e.g. firefox which should avoid the problem, i'm gonna give it a try.

Guys...it had nothing to do with the line. It was a virus...'sssasasb32.exe' i've permenantly blocked it using my personal firewall. the built-in Windows XP firewall is really crap!
