I have a system here that is having so very unusal problems.
Here are some spec's
MSI Board, 2100+, xp home, 512mb ram.
The modem in question:Intel 536EP V.92 Modem
While browsing on the web the modem will just die out. It wont disconnect at first, the data transfer just freezes. It stops from being able to transfer and recieve info, from a web browser or any other means. then within the next 5 minutes it will disconnect and ask to reconnect.
This is triggered by unusal events. Usually when trying to view some sort of scripted page. Like a cgi script or a php page or forum. For example, you can load ebay up, but once you try viewing any auction(which uses a cgi script) the connection dies within transfer, and no other web activity is able to take place until after a reconnect. Pretty much any visiting of a page that uses cgi will kill the connection, but after a few reconnects you can view the page no problem.
The problem even occurs faster when the user is trying to open multiple pages.
What I would first assume it would be is the modem heating up, but this doesnt appear to be the case, espically since you can download full throtal for hours with no problems.
Nor is it the isp, two seperate isp's have been used.
Lastly a driver update has been attempted, but after the driver update the modem willnot transfer or recieve info in any medium. This just isnt tied to web browseing or browser. It just doesnt make sence. Nor is it tied to any specific pages or domains, but it appears that it occurs more often when viewing pages which use different web scripting languages.
Does anyone have any ideas? any help would be appreciated. Changing the irq assignment hasnt helped eaither.
I am also not sure how clear i discribed the problem, so please ask any questions you may have.
