Hi,
I finally got an xDSL connection here in Ukraine and with
this do I have a strange problem that probably has
something to do with the XP operating system (according
the dsl companies technician, he claims it NEVER happens with a w98SE computer, but yeah what you want everybody in UKraine LOVES w98 se and doesn't know what XP PRO is, LOL)
the xdsl is based on the isdl technology (what i
understood does it has something to do with ISDN) and has
one disadvantage, when somebody calls with the telephone
line on which the xdsl is connected than we have a little
dropping of the speed, which is "normal" according the
technician...
Ok I can live with that but THE PROBLEM is that i can't browse
any website on the whole internet when somebody is calling.
The strange thing is that when i have Kazaa lite on, he just continues
downloading music like nothing is wrong even when somebody is calling as if kaza lite has a special port or so that stays unaffected???
what can be the cause of this??
Can i configue my webbrowsing to use this "kazaa lite port" (if i will ever find which port this thing is using)???
browsing the web for the business is more important than downloading music on unused bandwidth!!
in the network connections panel is this dsl connection under "direct" connections and when i try to use the network wizard to share the dsl connection that the dsl modem is not between the choices for which modem I use to connect to the internet?? so i configured ics manually (properties advanced and so on)
OF course is the idsl modem Ukrainian (SIRIUS-128) and he connects trough a COM PORT !!! which reduces his maximum speed to 115.500 b/sec, but OK it is better than 40.000 b/s which is the maximum with dial up in UKraine because of the BAD condition of the telephone cables...
AND OF COURSE NO SIGNED DRIVERS FOR XP, i asked the factory if they have them, but NO answer for the moment(guess they are translating my English demand for it, lol, funny to be a stranger living in Ukraine...)
i also downloaded the ICS configuration utility to map
certain ports , but when i start this program it says that
ICS is not configured in the registery of my system??? but i am using it
more than 2 years now without any problems...
can i uninstall ICS on XP and install it again, so that it would show in the registery or is this ICS configuration utility only for older versions of windows...??
thanks for any help
Peter
