I've been having this irritating problem with my adsl connection that sometimes it stops transferring any data (according to the windows networking box) for 5 minutes or even more. If the connection is disconnected within this time it fails to reconnect giving a message about not connecting to remote host. This didnt happen so much in the beginning but it hasnt stopped for weeks now and is happening regularly. I cant even stay connected for 24hrs without it happening at least twice. My ISP is imaginet does anyone have any advice? thnx in advance.

Well my setup is pretty basic. I run a P4, Intel MB, 1GB ram with Windows XP. It just came off a clean format. I use the default firewall for Dialup connections and connected straight to a hub that's connected to the ADSL modem. So no proxies or anything else I go through, I dial-up myself with my own username/password and use Imaginet as a ISP. I dont know what else could be of more help I think thats about it. I somehow feel its more of an external error though as it happens to all the computers on the network at the same time but I havent heard of it happening with anyone else so maybe its a good idea to get telkom fix it:\
If your modem is connected to your hub, I presume you have a Telkom ADSL POTS Router modem? If so, you should upgrade its firmware (at your peril) - rather ask Telkrap for a replacement unit at your nearest service centre first, then take it from there after some usage to see if there's an improvement. If not, time to check your device setup...
