Hello, I just recently bought and installed a network card in my computer. It installed without a problem, but I noticed afterwards that my dial-up connection would hesitate for about 10 seconds before sites would respond every once in a while. My network card is not connected to anything and never has been. I was connecting through a typical modem on a phone line. I bought the network card because I was about to get broadband cable internet and I wanted to connect through ethernet instead of USB. I have cable now and I notice it still stalls the same way and I have a pretty strong feeling that its the same problem.
I have not changed any network configurations after installing the network card and I figured that maybe there is something in particular I needed to change.
I am using Windows 98 and the network card I installed was a belkin f5d5000. I feel like this might be a common/typical problem for someone who doesn't know anything about network type stuff. I searched the tek-tips forum and didn't have much luck. I also searched Belkin's support pages and didn't find much and I checked for updated drivers but there are none available.
If anyone has an idea of what might be wrong I would really appreciate a response. Thanks
