looked at status and I see packets going out but hardly any coming in,
sometimes none at all.
is this 'the other end' having problems or maybe something on my

could adjust? No problems on dial up.
Sorry for my lack of technical knowledge/terms

Have you tried rebooting rather than letting your laptop hibernate?

I always turn off the laptop after each 'session' so it gets rebooted a
few times a day. Tried turning off firewall and did a system restore to
a few days before it stopped working, all to no avail.
