Thanks for your help Chaps,
WDTBD: I've downloaded the latest driver and checked the site you recommend, but no answers there.
Aisleman; good point. i had OISDN and no problems, but a new modem plus driver was installed. UGGH!!!!!
MG: The firewall you mention is very good, but the same problem arises, even after the tight arse application. I'm trying Zone Alarm again, but still get the problem.
Thanks for your help guys. i really appreciate your time replying.
