Verizon DSL Connection Problems, please help me.

[brayan]

Hi guys,
I have a problem with my connection at home. I have verizons ADSL service on mt Abit BE6 with PIII 600MHz using NetGear NIC. When I browsing the web It stops after some time and disconnects. Even when I try to ping someone, and the ping gone after 20-30 second. I don’t understand what’s going on. I know from some other people ,they said me that on Verizon, you may have same problems but then some never get that problem. Some one told me that its a bug in IE 5 but I know folks with IE 4 and it does the same thing.

I have dont know model and a standered Varizons external DSL modem.

help me!

Make default RWIN in Windows is way too low for good broadband performance, Try the tweaks at www.dslreports.com.

Verizon is notorious for DNS problems which causes "freezing" problem. It happens that when you go to ping an address or hit a website, it takes 20-30 seconds for Verizon's DNS servers to respond.

This is the reason why you will get good pinging times. the connection is OK, but it takes a little time for the name to resolve.

You can check this by trying a ping by name and later on by IP address. The ping by IP address should have immediate response whereas the ping by name will hesitate before starting.
