I hope this is the right place to post this, forgive me if it's not. Our hard drive died and we've started anew. I have Explorer 5.0 on Windows 98 now.

I swear it's every 2 minutes (like clockwork), Explorer or my Internet connection goes into "sleep" mode for 15-30 seconds. It's maddening. I have no idea what's causing it (never happened before on the old drive).

You know those 2 montiors in your lower right hand corner of the screen that blip green back & forth? Well, those are the things that just freeze (don't glow green or blip) and then they start back up again like nothing's wrong.

Every 2 minutes!!! You want to see a grown woman have a meltdown? It's ruining my sweeps.

I'm thinking it's some kind of security protocol. Does anyone have a clue?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Those two lights mean I think you are using a telephone modem. It could be a problem at your ISP, it could be that you have a "soft" modem (a.k.a. crappy half functional modem) and need to update its driver.
