Re: Where?
nope. but i will try the other options u guys said. thx for the help everyone. two more question though, how much more memory does WinPoet eatup than RasPPPoE? and How come somtimes my browser seem to "freeze" for a few seconds before displaying a web page (it happens on downloads too sometimes)? |

I know what you're talking about and I think it's just Windows/IE. I've had it happen for a long time now, even on dialup. |

You may have a freeze problem, windows looking for DHCP server you do not have...check out Stalls and freezes @ Earthlink/Mindspring site...Good Luck  |

during. for exemple the file downloads at a certain speed and all of a sudden the 2computers icon stops signalling and my speed drops significantly. then after awhile it starts downloading again. sort of like it has to stop to catch "breath" before receiving more data. |

|  OK, another question. Does it happen on every download? If not, then it's likely due to the server you are downloading from.

Anon | hmm...good question. i think it happens most of the time if i just d/l directed by clicking on a link. but it doesn't show this problem when i use a download program like download accelerator. |

yes..after uninstalling almost everything like you guys said RasPPPoE finnally worked. its much better than WinPoet thx guys. i have a minor question though: every time i close my browser a message window pops out asking if i want to close the connection..(obviously i dont) since its kinda annoying, is there anyway i can disable this message? |

| Yeah, it should have a checkmark on it for that. If not, you can go into DialUp Networking and change it there. Disable the idle and the thing that says 'Disconnect when connection may not be needed'
(Right-click on the RASPPPoE connection and click Properties, then choose the 'Dialing' tab) |
|
Anon | i tried that but there is no dialing tab. the only tabs that show are General, Server Types, Scripting, and Mutilink |

| You're looking in the wrong place. Go to Internet Options, either from the IE Tools menu or the Control Panel, connections, settings, advanced and make sure that the two boxes are unchecked there.
