my system specs

amd athlon 1g
speedstream dsl modem

thnx in advance

Not a NetGear problem, I use NetGear NIC's all the time. I've had that problem long ago, can't seem to remember what caused it, but I'll try.

I'd put my money on your PPPoE software, if you're on PPPoE and using Winpoet or Enternet300.

If you are, try RasPPPoE from this site...
