Over the last few weeks I have been having some problems with my internet connection. Sometimes it would work fine and others it would just stop and I'd get loads of Received Errors.

After a lot of searching I found that the connection was fine until I played an Audio CD though Media Player and then the connection would go to pot. Until I stopped playing the CD and it would start to work again.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks

Man that sounds wicked...
First of all post your specs, along with the IRQ listing (if u're not running ACPI). It might be a conflict between soundcard and NIC. Does it happen only with AudioCDs or with any audio?

More details please, dont be greedy, esp.if you want to get a decent answer

Ok my system is as below;

+ Abit VP6 with dual PIII 1Ghz 133
+ 1Gb SDRAM PC133
+ Master IDE Channel 1 IBM 15Gb ATA100 HD <- XP RC1 is installed on this!
+ Secondary IDE Channel 1 HP CDRW
+ Secondary IDE Channel 2 250Mb Zip Drive
+ Master Raid two Seagate HD ATA60 in Raid 0
+ ELSA Gladiac 920 64Mb DDR
+ Iiyama Vision Master Pro 510
+ SB Live Platinum
+ Pinnacle DV500
+ 3Com 10/100 Network Card
+ U.S. Robotics Sportster Flash V.90 Voice Faxmodem

The modem is on Serial Port COM1.

My IRQs are as below;

+ IRQ 9 Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System
+ IRQ 16 NVIDIA GeForce3
+ IRQ 14 Primary IDE Chanel
+ IRQ 15 Secondary IDE Channel
+ IRQ 10 VIA Rev 5 or later USB Universal Host Controller
+ IRQ 10 VIA Rev 5 or later USB Universal Host Controller
+ IRQ 5 Multimedia Controller
+ IRQ 5 Multimedia Controller
+ IRQ 17 Texas Instruments OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller
+ IRQ 19 3Com EtherLink XL 10/100 PCI For Complete PC Management NIC (3C905C-TX)
+ IRQ 18 Creative SB Live! (WDM)
+ IRQ 18 HPT370 UDMA/ATA100 RAID Controller
+ IRQ 0 System timer
+ IRQ 8 System CMOS/real time clock
+ IRQ 13 Numeric data processor
+ IRQ 6 Standard floppy disk controller
+ IRQ 4 Communications Port (COM1)
+ IRQ 3 Communications Port (COM2)

I've tested the system when playing a .wma and it seems fine, so it only seems to happen when I play Audio CDs.

Thanks

Is your CD-ROM driver set to DMA? If not, try it.

The CDs is set to DMA (Multi-Word DMA Mode 2).

Thanks for all you help but I guess I'll just have to not play CDs when I'm on the internet.

I'm getting a new case soon (If I can find anywhere in the UK that sells the thing) and so I plan to update all the BIOS’s and stuff from my system.

Can anyone tell me what the best bios versions for my system?

Thanks
