This is probably not an IIS question, but....

Hi.

Although my provider hosts under a 2000 platform, I doubt this has any direct relation to the problem I have. It's just I can't find a category that addresses my issue. Anyhow, here it is:

I have a 56k connection and in the last couple of months I've noticed my connection quality dive. It sortov' timeouts, as if the connection is dead,then it awakes 20-30 seconds later. Afterwards, I resume surfing for a few minutes then it happens again.

I downloaded a utility called Ping Plotter that graphically measures the milliseconds it takes to hop from one server to the other. Well, it seems whenever I have one of these dead episodes it's always stuck on my first connection (my provider). Is it something on their side? If so, what causes this?

Thanks a bunch,
DanH

R u running IIS?

No. I'm just browsing the web. I've emailed my provider twice about this issue but they have failed to reply. I just want to know what reasons would cause this.

Thanks for your interest,
Dan

Your ISP, does it use dedicated browser software or can you use a dial-up connection and open a browser (IE; IE or Netscape)? WMH

It's a dial-up connection and open browser. Thanks --Dan
