Hi,

I am having ADSL2+ connection at home via adsl2+ modem (setup in bridge
mode) and wireless router (netgear).

I am having this annoying problem with browsing the internet, when
sometimes I have to click on refresh or try again in many webpages,
before they finally open, of course that varies a lot according to the
reasons unknown to me.

I also thought that reinstalling the windows xp professional and ms
office would help, but no such thing happened unfortunately.

I was trying to figure out and I suspect the reason might be hiding
somewhere in some ports and port forwarding on my router, perhaps? some
people also told me that I keep on disappearing from services like
skype, but otherwise when I use those services, I haven't encountered
any major problems.

Even when I am downloading files, when I get to the page or link for
downloading, I get very fast speeds. I also had difficulties with
watching video on demand.

All these things sometimes work properly, but lot of times (more than
50%) they don't and that drives me crazy.

Does anyone have any idea about how to solve this?

Thanks

Tom
