I think there may be something wrong with my modem for the simple fallowing reasons:
Me and my friend each have our own laptops so I have him come over and test out my Phone Line on his laptop as he Plays "Guild Wars" (some online game, any of you guys play it? ) Anyways when he plays the little double monitor thing on the bottom right continually blinks, showing it is constantly sending and receiving data. But when I hook up my laptop to the same connection, i would get what i call "work ya bloody freakin modem" period when my modem would send but stop receiving errors, resulting in lag, and ultimately disconnections, but it is only for this video game, I've never had this happen while i surf the web.(These rest periods are fallowed by an Error on the receiving end of the connection, i have been connected for about half an hour now and have received 177 errors...)
Also my Modem is... "wiggly", the little thing where you connect your phone into, it wiggles, it doesn't quite move, but it WIGGLES.
I also believe it is my modem because when i use Cable or DSL with my Wireless Adapter, the game runs fine. (Also my computer crashes when i run this game, anywhere from 5 mins to several hours into the game. The crashes are not blue screen, my computer simply turns off. I don't know if it is overheating, and i dont know what my power supply is, anyway to find out? Speed fan shows my pc at 58 C)
