RedDisco:
Why does it keep disconecting, although still shows as connected. Won't re-connect without re-starting.

Freeserve Broadband.

Sorry about lack of details, but won't stay connected for long enough !

Any ideas please, it's driving me mad.

Jimbo:
Could be anything !

Is your PC hardwired to your modem/router or wireless ?
Does your BT line come into the house overhead or underground ?
Try making a phone call - does it cut in and out ?

It could be something as simple as your BT line has gone belly up, or perhaps Freeserve are having probs, or you're at the limit of your wireless coverage...............

..or firewall probs. had about 3 weeks with dodgy web connections... still drops it every now and then! :lol:

Manicminer:
Check the USB connection. It may be slightly loose or bent.
It happened to me once, one of my daughters had placed something on top of the connector where it goes in to the computer.

RedDisco:
Yes it is hardwired, the BT line comes in overhead and there are no probs with the phone line at all. It seems to be worse if you stay on one page for too long, you move to the next and get the 'web page unavailable' message and thats it, can't get anything else although it is still showing as connected. You then disconnect, but can't reconnect again without re-starting.
