BIG PROBLEM - with firewalls sudden reboot

I have an adsl modem/router (usRobotics 9112)

When surfing the web, very often it happens Windows instantly reboots

- it happens on the very same sites,

- it happens every 4-5 sites, expecially "heavy" sites with javascript, flash, activex...

- the sites I visit are secure, because they are istitutional, magazines sites...).

- I have no javascript, flash, activex, animation, audio.... activated, nothing at all.

- If I go with an old 56 kb analogic modem all is ok

----------------

I am with Windows98se

I notice that if I disabled my software firewall Norton 2002 there is no problem.

So I was sure it was a Norton 2002 firewall problem, and tried six (=6) other firewalls (OutPost, panda, zoneAlarm, atguard....) but always had the problem, so I don't think it is a software firewall problem.

---------------

What to do?

I phoned Robotics and they said it is not a modem problem.
