What had happened was the internal modem had been struck by lightning. I had tried everything else except replacing the modem, and it worked just fine after that. The same thing happened a couple of years back, but Im not sure if it was the same problem or not. So basically, don't do anything else until you have changed the modem. Good luck [img]smile.gif[/img] edit: also it doesnt have to have been a storm, just anything that could have caused the microelectronics of the modem to change slightly. Maybe it was dropped or something like that. There are a whole range of possiblities.

This machine hasn't been hooked to the internet in over 3 months. Of course, it could have happened before then, but I wasn't having any problems with the connection until after the upgrade.
