Had a similar problem with a Verizon DSL setup. Intermittent connection problems. Turned out that the installer had flubbed and did a bad connection to the house. Failed to tighten the ground wires, other loose connections in the outside wall box. I tightened them (in fact, rewired them to provide separate wires for DSL and phone - split the pairs) and has worked like a charm since. I doubt it is the computer. Most likely the wiring. If you have a setup with those "filters" then you are using the same wires for phone and DSL. Better to split it out. Ken Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
