My pc is a Gateway performance 933 I live in an area where there is only dial-up. My connection was fine until 2 mo. ago then I was getting booted as soon as I got connected. My daughter hooked up her computer & was online for a couple hours with no problems. So I know it is not the line. She also took my tower to town to hook up to high-speed through ethernet & it was online a couple hours with no problems. So I know it's not the line or the computer..She replaced the modem (which I had replaced not long before) and it worked great..for about a week then I was getting booted almost instantly again. She replaced the modem yesterday & I was able to stay online but it was barely moving,(saying I was connected at 31,000bps) so she moved it to another PCI slot & the speed shot right back up(connected at 28,000) for a couple hours..Now it took me 20 min. just to get to yahoo answers...I manually changed the modem speed from 11 million to 38,000..no change, have plenty of memory, any ideas?

My computer has no virus or spyware, so it can't be that.

First thing is call your internet provider. They should walk you through all settings etc. They have to make it work if they expect you to stay a costumer and pay for service.
