Win98 DUN using Internal Modem

[Guest_imported]

I am using an internal PC Tel HSP 56K Micromodem to connect using TCP/IP to my ISP using Windows 98 OSR2.

Connection is OK, but after being online for about 15 minutes or so, I lose all network connection to an extend even PINGing the ISP's servers results in "Request time outs"!!! The phone line remains active

I am pretty sure the ISP/phone lines are OK cos connection using an External Hayes Accura 56K Modem is fine for much much longer connections.

I have tried reinstalling the Modem driver, which didn't help. What kind of problem is this?? Hardware or software?? And how could I resolve this??

It actually sounds like an ISP problem not modem. are you using the external on the same machine?

Actually when I use the external modem on the Same PC which is experiencing problem with the Internal Modem, there are no problems at all, that is why I am suspecting problems with the INTERNAL PCI Modem.!

Might also check to see if Modem Properties is turned all the way up to maximum. If it is, try turning it down a little and see if the connection still drops.
