Hello,
My pc is win98se and I have a broadband internet connection.
I have been using the broadband for a few years. And since the
beginning of this year, my internet connection will be intermittently
lost. At first, I thought something was wrong with the modem, which
is terayon TA-102. I have called the ISP to replace it. However, the
problem is still there. Then I tried to get used to it. Whenever I
lose the connection, I will need to reboot my computer to get the
connection back (the modem does not need to be flipped off then on).
I called the technical support again today, and we've looked at the
modem and it didn't appear that my modem was failing to provide a
signal for me. Then I run winipcfg and see that there are 3 entries:
PPP Adapter., Microsoft TV/Video Connection and Realtek 8139-series
PCI NIC. PPP adapter is for dialup connection and Realtek is the
network card for broadband. The technical support girl said win98se
will sometimes switch from the network card to PPP adapter, although
she doesn't know under what circumstances this will happen. And the
problem I've got is because my computer has switched on its own accord
from the network card to PPP adapter.
So are there any ways to force the computer to only use the network
card so that it will always use the network card to get online? Or
how can I uninstall ppp adapter so that the computer can't even choose
to switch back to it?
Goto Control panel-Software-Windows setup, and remove 'Dialup
networking'. The PPP adapter will disappear. Your modem will still be
available for faxing.
