I use Sprint DSL Modem 645. Past few weeks getting frequent disconnects requiring reboots. Sprint tech says it is something in my Win98SE doing this. It disconnects after using IE and then being idle for awhile. Any help appreciated. Jerry in Vegas

If you losing your sync light on the dsl modem, you likely do not have all your phones filtered in the house... Make sure you have filters on ALL phones, fax, standalone caller id/answering machines, satellite recievers, tivo, and possibly even your home alarm (phone) system. If you are still having problems AFTER all is filtered, make sure your telephone line from to the dsl modem is short (10 feet or less).... long phone lines act as an antenna.
Good Luck

Also make sure you are not double filtered anywhere -- this can cause a problem.
