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.
you say it's ok with the 56k (dial up).
USB DSL/ADSL modems do have an issue, i've often heard of people with
them losing their net connection and restarting windows.. It may help
to reinstall its drivers. You could bypass the thing by using a 'home
router' instead of the usb dsl modem.
I don't know if usb cable modems that that issue. But yours is ADSL,
that's common.
A google shows that the router you mentioned is a USB or Ethernet
router/modem. You didn't say that.
You could stick an ethernet PCI card in your computer, and not use the
USB aspect of your router, maybe even uninstall the usb router/modem
drivers.
It's unfortunate that unlike win xp. Win98SE doesn't come with a
firewall. But if you use Volker's program
http://www.dingens.org/index.html.en you won't need a firewall
Either way, you won't be saved from a browser getting exploited.
Try the Opera browser
I tried the USb way, and because it requires driver I also tried with
old and new drivers, always the same problem
I went back to the Ethernet way (that is my preferred choise because
faster)
and tried the plug in the motherboard VIA RIINE II
and tried the plug in PCI ethernet card (D-Link DFE 538 tx),
always the same problem
I applied the 'ndis' fix called 243199itn8.exe from Microsoft,
alway the same problem
I tried with IE 5.0 5.5 6.0 and firefox 2.0
and honestly I don't want to install Opera
important note:
the same modem/router
on my second PC (AMD 500, while the first is Pentium 1600)
with the same windows98se
via USB and via Ethernet (on board) all is ok
with IE 6.0 (little sub version differences:
6.0.02800 on second PC and 6.00.2600.0000 on first PC)
with the same firewall software
so the problem is on my first machine,
but where?
SURELY, absolutely SURELY, I have NO virus in it
What is a 'home router' ?
