HI. My name is Justin, I have been using IRC for years now, mIRC rather. I live In SoCal. Anyway, my verizon DSL modem works great.. I have formatted several times since I have had it (viruses, other problems) but the point is it seems like i get disconnected from my DSL everytime I install MIRC. So basically I start my computer fresh, and I can be on AIM (AOL Instant Messager) for days and days, but then when I installed mIRC I get disconnected and I just stop my connection, it stops my connection rather, I get logged off AOL, AIM and MIRC, and my internet doesnt work, the only way to fix this is to wait (it could be hours) or I can simply turn off computer, unplug the DSL and wait 30 seconds then plug it back on, Wait for 3 lights to come back on, then turn on commp and my DSL is working fine until the next time I get disconnected (which usually happens randomly, no exact time frame but about 24 hour intervals) I have a feeling its mIRC that is doing this to my connection, I would love to be online for WEEKS , (which my DSL provider says I will *always be on*) Anyone know whats going on? I am desperate!
