I have an adsl modem/router (usRobotics 9112)

When surfing the web, very often it happens Windows instantly reboots

- it happens on the very same sites,
- it happens every 4-5 sites, expecially "heavy" sites
with javascript, flash, activex...
- the sites I visit are secure, because they are istitutional,
magazines sites...).
- I have no javascript, flash, activex, animation, audio.... activated,
nothing at all.

- If I go with an old 56 kb analogic modem all is ok

----------------

I am with Windows98se

I notice that if I disabled my software firewall Norton 2002
there is no problem.

So I was sure it was a Norton 2002 firewall problem,
and tried six (=6) other firewalls
(OutPost, panda, zoneAlarm, atguard....)
but always had the problem,
so I don't think it is a software firewall problem.

---------------

What to do?

I phoned Robotics and they said it is not a modem problem.

i suppose you are opening the websitesin IE ..
Did you updated the IS foe latest versions or tried installing or
reinstalling the IE again.


If you have norton then try disbling the norton and then try
connecting to that sites again

i tried
IE 5.0 5.5 6.0
firefox 2.0

>If you have norton then try disbling the norton and then try

if I disable or exit the firewall no problem occurs
but I want to use a firewall
I tried six of them, as told, all gave the same problem
and because of this pattern I'm no more sure it is a firewall problem

Very bad. Just visiting a website with IE is like offering an unlimited
remote shell. Your system might already be infected.

So you actually want problems to occur? Then why do you complain?

Because of this pattern I'd say they're all very very broken.

Windows 9x is out of support. Upgrade your operating system.

Well, that *does* suggest a certain course of action, doesn't it?

Apparently the problem exists with all kinds of software firewalls, but
doesn't exist without a software firewall in place. Why would you believe
this is *not* a software firewall problem?
