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.

Is your DSL plugged into a Ethernet adapter? Is the Ethernet adapter on
your motherboard? You might be overtaxing your Ethernet adapter
(considering how old your system is (Win98se)). You could try replacing the
adapter with a PCI card, which shouldn't cost very much money - that is if
you can find one that will work with 98se...
