Hi all!
I am going through a strange problem....

My modem just work very fine whn i am connected at 33.3 kbps but not when at some other higher speed...

it just goes down for atleats 2-3 mins and then get up for another minute or two.... but when it is connected at 33.3 kbps or low then the connection just keep steady and doesn't goes down....

Is there any solution y which I can force my modem to connect at 33.3 kbps only....

Hey, you might wanna check your modem manual, 'coz if it's a 33.3K Modem it won't connect any higher, no matter what you try to do to it!!

The Solution

Sorry, 4 tht 1st post. I kinda' misunderstood u there,
'coz not many ppl want 2 actually slow their inet connection down!

Now, here's th soln 2 ur problem:

1. Open ur "Device Manager".

If u don't know how to, u can access it by:
- a - START > RUN > "devmgmt.msc", or,
- b - Press "Windows + Pause/Break", or, Right-Click on "My Computer" to open "System properties".
- - - Thn press "Device Manager" under th "Hardware" Tab.

2. In ur "Device Manager", under th "Modems" tree node, double-click ur Modem to open up its "Properties".

3. In "Properties", select th "Modem" Tab.

4. Once there, select "38400" as ur "Maximum Port Speed" n click OK.

That's it! Ths shud take care of it!
Your Modem wud now always connect around 33kbps.

Hi,

Wht a coincidence?

Actually, at th times whn i posted, i had my images turned off. So, i didn't notice it till Saurav pointed it out!

So, 1 thing is clear: We like Keanu Reeves. So, did u guys check him out in Constantine? The movie was Awesome!!

Hi Saurav,

Compared to th Matrix Trology, well u're right, Constantine wasn't really awesome. In fact, compared to Matrix, nothin from Keanu Reeves seems awesome to me.

But, i really liked th way they picturised Hell in th movie. Just th same like our world but a lot more windy n wth everythin set on fire.
