Um, so freenet carries on working but everything else doesn't?? That's even weirder. Actually have you considered that maybe the link has in fact gone down altogether and you're just seeing content from your local datastore? Unless freenet routes over magic these days that makes more sense ;) If you are running XP SP1 and your connection is WiFi there are known dropout issues : http://www.smallbusinesscomputing.com/webmaster/article.php/3506611 Unless you have some good reason not to you should be on SP2 already of course. You could try reducing maxNodeConnections/not running Freenet at all and see if that helps, if it does it's presumably some issue on your end e.g. crap or misconfigured router/modem. If not maybe it's an ISP side problem. Looks like other SBC people may be experiencing similar issues : http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,7315506 "I cannot get my DSL connection through my router to stay up." http://www.techsupportforum.com/showthread.php?threadid=43981 "Having a disconnect issue, mostly while gaming online, but does happen while browsing also." http://www.abaris.net/review/sbc-review.htm "The system will periodically disconnect you even though you set the idle time parameters otherwise and try various ping programs in an effort to keep it online." Then again maybe you could find reports like that for every big ISP :^/ If reducing maxNodeConnections doesn't help, and particularly if it happens in situations when freenet's not even running, my first guess would be something to do with your router configuration. If it's a 'proper' networked router (as opposed to a USB modem only connected to 1 PC) it probably has some sort of web interface on it that lets you set various stuff. Having a PPP timeout set would explain disconnection. (On my generic Conexant/Linksys it's called "Disconnect Timeout" and is on the "WAN" page.) If it's a USB single PC one, it probably comes with some diagnostic tool that may let you see/change stuff like that.
