how do i fix it?

any ideas ..i tried everithing : symantec help, virus skan, trojan scan youname it ...

This is probably not related to anything on your system but a function of the connection between your home and the ISP. Two dialed calls to the same number made in succession take vastly different paths from point to the next. I have a similar problem with connection speeds. Sometimes I get 49.2 or 52 kbs on the first dial. Sometimes it takes multiple tries. Incidentally, if I connect at too low a speed I see exactly what you are probably seeing with my computer sending out data and no reply coming back. Unfortunately the telecommunications involved in troubleshooting something like that is horrendus.

Since the original poster has not responded in over 2 months I am marking this topic as done so it can be closed by a mod. If you have a similar problem please start a new topic.
