I need some help/advice from you comp experts here. My internet seems to be dropping out quite frequently and it annoys me - for instance when Im downloading something. What I would like to ask is if this is a isp issue or how my lan is configured. Im using a D-Link wireless router with my comp using a wireless adapter, if that helps. What Im stumped with is that I can understand dail-up timing out every 4 hrs or so but not with ADSL. Any ideas?

Try using a cat5 cable - if you can

Watch the adsl light on the modem, if it starts blinking when it dropps out, it means it cant reach the exchange, call telstra.

make sure the modem is not overheating - is it sitting on carpet?

turn the modem off and on, does it come back, or do you need to re-start your computer.

Run ad-aware and use firefox as a browser

Can you ping the modem when it dropps out?

Give these a go, pm me with the results

Cheers

The modem is using the latest firmware and is quite ventilated. No cables are used because our computers are not physically conected to the modem - ie were all using wireless adapters. The isp that Im with is Internode - so in saying that, has other people with internode experienced the same problem? I remember also that when the connection does drop out, only sometimes do I need to reset the modem. If I wasnt paying so much for internet then I wont be making a big deal out of it but then again its a problem none the less.

u should have told me last nite whe i was over, i would have looked at it..i had the same prob with mine, n i got netgear router/wireless, the prob was the phone lines were old n 2 much data made it cut out, internode reduced the speed down to 8mb, which is still ok, and now dotn have it anymore...occationally cuts out in afternoon, but im not home so i dont care :)

ring the up n get them 2 test the line 4 u

My first guess is the router. Net Gear is budget equipment (good for the price - but this is the sort of thing you have to put up with)

Since others have offered better quality options, give them a go and see if it fixes things.

ADSL is always dependant uon the quality of the connection (a common weak link) so this is a possible concern but I would have thought you would get problems at other times aswell (do u loose the signal when your system is idol?)

Cabel is a safer and faster option but isny always convinient. If you can borrow a 30-40m cabel and try it out it may help.

i hope this helps.

    • Need to see other side of PCB in that area...ie; I don't see any thru-hole mounting, just soldered vias (smd zeners in SOT23 have 3 legs but only 2 are used, as reflected by PCB tracks)
    • 4 to 5 is fine. It will be slow, but that's better than blowing turbos. I don't have a PS pump idle up solenoid on my car, because... I think when we put the Neo in we retained my R32 lines. But.... From inspecton of the R34 vacuum hose diagram, you can see that the solenoid needs to be connected to the turbo inlet as source of clean air) and the plenum (as source of vacuum - which is the place for the air to flow to to cause the idle to increase). So 3 to 1 is VERY WRONG. 3 should go to either the turbo inlet, or the plenum. Follow the other hose from the PS solenoid and if it goes to the plenum, then your 3 goes to 2 2 would also serve as a bleed port for a boost solenoid.
    • Pull them out and pull more apart. You can't do shit with them still bolted to the floor of the car.
    • Yes it is. ZD1 is on the other side of the board. Where ZD1 is marked is clearly opposite a 2 pin device. Our 3 pin device here is not a ZD.
    • Alright, a little update on this... I called Fulcrum, who used to be the distributor in Australia. No Bueno, they don't service them anymore.  Called shock works, who don't service them but offered to dyno the shocks for performance, and suggested DNA in Sydney might service them.  Called DNA, who also do not service them and basically said they try to steer customers away from tein for this exact reason these days- there is just no support for them anymore apparently.  Both SW and DNA said they are a not necessarily a bad product, but they just don't service the brand or know anyone who does service the brand anymore.  So... I could keep calling around but at this point I think I'll probably just spring for the shockworks product, unless anyone here knows anything.  Cheers 🍻
