I keep losing Line Sync on my ADSL at home, and its either the line itself, or the modem. its a pain in the arse every 5 minutes it just dies, but comes back up straight away :/ but most when playing WoW or any MMORPG they become more frequent because of the use of the line by those types of games.

anyone got any ideas? or got a spare modem i can use for a day or two?

hey mert,
Are you using an extension lead to get from the modem to the phone line ? If so try replacing the cable, i have had similar problems and doing that cleans her right up. Also post what your modem is if its a router try upgrading firmware. Also what location are you in ?

Also make sure phone cable is firmly seated in the modem and filter.

Sounds more like the prob i had where, my wall junction was farked, i just changed where i plusgged into the wall, and all was good

Oh, and y should it be firmly in the filter?? modems shoudlt run through a filter.. its everything else that needs to
