I have a Dell running Windows 2000.
Whenever I try to connect using dialup
everyting goes fine until it connects to my
ISP and then the computer just resets.
Sometimes I can be connected for about
2 minutes or so and then it just resets on me.
Any suggestions?

does it give you a 60 second countdown window before it shuts all the way down?

No, it just resets immediately, no warning what so ever.

Any type of Anti-virus/Firewall software installed?

Yes I have AVG running, so i disabled it and still have the same problem.
but this time I ran into a error message

Stop: 0x00000050 (0xF95B9868, 0x00000001, 0x804021BE, 0x00000000)

I know someone else this was happening to. I suspect that you may be infected with a newer virus (they are infected).

Don't think you can update AVG manually though Sad

Thats what I was thinking (some kind of virus).

I don't think it may be a virus. It may be faulty drivers/ TCP/IP / or even faulty hardware.

The best test would be to do a reformat and reinstall winslows.

I wouldn't call that a test, I would call that "reinstalling all your network components AND eliminating any virus" Wink

Well yeah

Even swapping the modem to another free PCI slot may do the trick. I have a PCI slot on my PC that just does not like my modem.

Strangest thing..

Ok this time I reinstalled my driver and I got the modem connect to the internet and it worked for about an hour. It then reset the computer with the same error message. I installed the driver again and this time the modem can dial about 4 numbers then gives up.
Faulty modem?

could be a faulty modem driver.

I would try updating the modem drivers.
