I have DSL through my phone line. I operate using Windows XP. My service provider ISP number starts with 198. When I lose my internet connection (usually within one hour) I cannot reconnect because my computer has changed my ISP number to start with 255. The only thing that I know to do is to restart my computer, which works but is a major pain in the rear. WHY does my computer do this and what PRECISE steps can I take to fix this problem?

well maybe u can try changing the number back manually, or try disconnecting all the wires from the modem and then putting them back in after 10 secs then try again. This could be a virus as well so try updating ur antivirus porgram and then running a complete check on ur computer also try calling ur dsl customer support check with the microsoft site to see if they have something on this.
