Whenever I go to play a game that uses the internet connection, it will work fine for a couple moments. After about 5 minutes, my computer will rev up, and the connection will be dropped. The funny thing is that my computer appears to think that the connection is still active, though it is unable to download anything. When I check the phone line, it is as if I had disconnected normally (I am able to make normal calls on it.) If I'm fast enough, I can reconnect and play normally while my computer is "revving", but I lose my connection in the same way as soon as it stops. I have already upgraded the drivers for my modem via windows update.
- I have already attempted to lower my connection speed.
- I have already unplugged everything from every phone line save my modem.
- I don't have call waiting.
- I am not hitting any idle timers of any kind.
- I have already lowered my buffer.
- I have already defragged.
If you're willing to help out, and need more info, I'll supply it.
