ADSL connection, need help!

[yoco]

So, I had to downgrade my internet from VDSL 8/1 to ADSL 1mbps!
Yea, I know it sucks.
What I need is, can somebody tell me how to fix CPU 100% usage when you start, disconnect or restart your PC. I didn't bother with this for years, so I kind of forgot. If I remember correctly you need to put some numbers in you connection propertis, right?

lol how you mean disconnect PC,unplug the power cord,how you see then it uses 100% usage

you probably won't to know to setup your network connection and static IP?

[dreamer]

I think he means when the ADSL dialer shows the final message "registering computer on network" or something like that the PC uses 100% cpu and if you play music in winamp it gets stuck?
I suffered from that too if that what he means

[yoco]

I didn't wright it right. What I meant was, disconnect the internet.

dreamer yes something like that. It's annoying as hell!

[kazuya]

so you have connection on demand on your desktop?like with dial up connections. i have always on connection,i just turn on or off my modem and no problems.maybe you should set it up like that

[saebrtooth]

close the software that uses net access before shutting off internet connection and it should help with the problem

[shoulder]

Do you mean the adapter propterties where you have to enter things like LAN IP, DNS, ... ?

[saebrtooth]

@shoulder, if that question was for me then; I didnt mean your mentioned things but rather p2p clients and other software that downloads or uploads

[dreamer]

no, I think shoulder referred to yoco's post in this part:

If I remember correctly you need to put some numbers in you connection propertis, right?

yoco, in order to help you we need exact description of the problem.
what OS are you running? XP PRO SP3? Vista? 7?
does your modem connect with USB or Ethernet?
when exactly does it hit 100% cpu usage?

[yoco]

I have XP SP3, it's ethernet. The problem accurs when I'm connecting to the internet and when disconnectin. I think I read somewhere that's because my modem is trying to search for IP, but if you insert some numbers in connection propertis it works just fine!

[dreamer]

could you take a screen of the exact moment when you connect and it gets stuck?

1Mbps huh, you remind me of myself when I had 1Mbit back in 2006.

I recall reading that if you reduce the Ethernet card's link speed to 10Mbit via the Device Manager you can solve this.

And the "connection numbers" you mention may be the DNS IPs maybe? I remember that with your previous connection you had manually entered your ISP's.

Did you update your drivers for your NIC? It might not solve the problem but it's worth a try. A friend of mine was getting a lot of d/c until he updated his drivers and it was all gone.

thought of getting a router? connecting with the os itself is not a good idea

that's what I did eventually.. I was in the same situation as he was but for me it was stuck because me and my brother had ICS (internet connection sharing) and when I connected it had to register the connection in the network.

but why is connecting with the OS bad?
