[wizard2291]

hello, pls help me if you can

i am on a home network and i have 56k modem as soon as i install my network card my connection seems to not respond a lot of the time what i mean as not respond is i can click on a link or what ever and it will sit there not receiveing anything for atleast a minute then it will start to recieve information again and it does that fairly often.... as soon as i uninstall my network card it works perfect... does any one have any ideas why this happens??? any help will be greatly appreciated the protocals that i use are TPC/IP IPX/SPX and NetBUEI pls help if you can

[glock45]

For your modem: remove any protocols other than TCP/IP and check bindings for it as well

Unless you are running all NT machines dump netbuei

If these suggestions dont work try uninstalling both cards and reinstall the network card first....could be a driver conflict or network card is overwriting files or defective.
(what brand/model?, what OS?, be as specific as possible when posting..will help "us" out in helping you.

Good luck

<font color=blue> Only thing I can think of is a IRQ conflict, try moving the modem to another PCI slot, you might have to keep trying in every slot until one works. </font color=blue>

Try going into the Network properties and bring up the network adpater properties.
Unbind the TCP/IP and just use IPX/SPX for your home network...

Sounds like an IRQ conflict is going on. If you are on 56k dialup why do you need a NIC? You may want to try going to different PCI slots with the modem or even the NIC to see if the problem goes away. You may want to consider going to dls or cable modem then you can do away with the 56k modem car all together.
