I was wondering if anyone had run into this particular problem. I am running Windows 98SE with IE 5.5 and I seem to be having problems with my Internet connection. I have two computers that share the same telephone wall outlet and the Dell has no problems while the Gate does so I believe it to be problems with the computer or modem itself.

I can almost never connect on the 1st attempt but always on the second. But, many times, the details of the connection will show only about 200-300 bytes “Sent” and “Received” and I am unable to access the Internet but I am connected to my local ISP. As I said, my other unit does not have this problem. I can even try a different ISP and I still have the same problem. I have uninstalled the modem and reinstalled and even updated the drivers. This problem seems to occur about 1 out of every three dial-up attempts. I am dialing up at about 45.333 Kbps.

Any ideas?
