BIG PROBLEM - with firewalls sudden reboot

I have an adsl modem/router (usRobotics 9112)

When surfing the web, very often it happens Windows instantly reboots

- it happens on the very same sites,
- it happens every 4-5 sites, expecially "heavy" sites
with javascript, flash, activex...
- the sites I visit are secure, because they are istitutional,
magazines sites...).
- I have no javascript, flash, activex, animation, audio.... activated,
nothing at all.

- If I go with an old 56 kb analogic modem all is ok

----------------

I am with Windows98se

I notice that if I disabled my software firewall Norton 2002
there is no problem.

So I was sure it was a Norton 2002 firewall problem,
and tried six (=6) other firewalls
(OutPost, panda, zoneAlarm, atguard....)
but always had the problem,
so I don't think it is a software firewall problem.

---------------

What to do?

I phoned Robotics and they said it is not a modem problem.
