You almost certainly need newer drivers. Which version of Windows are you using? Go to the Zoltrix site and download …
Jump to PostWell golly gee, TallCool1, that post just got you to 666.

I'd agree with modem drivers as a possible cause. But I'd check for Spyware and Malware also.
Jump to Postokay, which well known virus is known to send itself over the net, and cause random restarts? Why it's the blaster worm, possible cause?
Jump to PostI disagree with the 'Blaster' diagnosis.
I've dealt with the exact same problem, exact same modem previously, before MSBlast was around. It was a driver issue then, and I'd bet this instance is a driver issue now!
Jump to Postok then, so you are ruling out any possibility of a worm causing it?
