ADSL problems

Have you got the latest BIOS?

Like Scooba said, the USB card is the final solution after following the information below. However as you said it didn't work it leaves you with few options.

All KT133 Motherboards

USB works sporadically, hang or lock the system

Timing Issues with VIA Chipset based motherboards can sometimes be fixed by setting the chip performance speed in the BIOS to Normal instead of Strong, Turbo, Optimal or Fast. The setting title and location varies by manufacturer and board type.

Make sure that your Power Supply is AMD certified

Check to see if USB is sharing its IRQ with another device

USB does NOT like to share its IRQ. If USB is sharing its IRQ with another device you will need to isolate USB so that it has its own IRQ

USB Troubleshooter - IRQs

Please Note: Windows will NOT report USB IRQ sharing violations even if one exists. To determine if USB is sharing its IRQ use, System Information / Conflicts and Sharing

Update to the latest BIOS version for your motherboard

The KT133 is a shit chipset, btw this is what the 663AS uses, and in typical VIA style got replaced with a rather better working KT133A.

Just to prove there stupidity they did it again with the KT266 which had various USB problems, again these had all disappeared when the KT266A was released.

Thankfully after the KT266A things have been better with both the KT333/400 having no real problems, yet.

Thanks, that gives me a lot to work on; bit of a headache though. If I had the money I'd go out today and buy a new motherboard, oh well.

is it an alcatel speedtouch usb perchance?

 

[Maljonic]

It is, but it appears to be all fixed now thanks to the usbman site and also thanks to Embattle for supplying me with the link. I thought I had the latest modem patch but now I have the same one that Scuba mentioned which works! Thanks for everybody's help, I now love my PC again and don't want to 'cunt it'
