[quote]Well, I spoke too soon. It did seem to work but it must have just been a "good day". Since I first posted I have tried another modem and upgraded from IE 5.5 to IE 6 with no luck<hr></blockquote>

I think I was back in the same boat with you. I too saw a change for "a good day" or two, then back to the same old link hanging behavior. Since then I restored the previous IE config to IE 5.5, and have been running just fine since. I think it's a IE 6 issue

Try going back to 5.5 I don't think it's a ISP, Modem or Phone Line issue. IMHO.
