It did? really?
I seem to be out of my depth here - with BitTorrent and P2P and Nats feeding.
Seems the best way out for me is to either:
1) Get me a new modem that doesn't have NB5 written on it, or (and/or)
2) Get me a telephony man to look at the phone wiring where it's split to make sure it's some sort of splitter box, or a clean split, rather than some dodgy electrical tape keeping it all together.
3) Take up the sledgehammer offer.
Thank you all for the responses; I really hadn't realised just how geeky some of you are! In this case it's great! My faith in people has most definitley been restored by all of the replies - you're all fabulous.

Peer to Peer is file sharing over the internet. If you're not using it to download stuff then the particular issue with the ND5 may not apply to you.
Considering the ISP provided the modem, you've got a pretty good case to follow up through their technical support. Have you spoken to their tech support?
They can usually run a few tests from their end, and are most likely familiar with this modem setup so can guide you through configuring it to work with their network.
Usually best to call early in the morning if you are - the one I worked on had large queues between midday and midnight.
also, would be worthwhile trying an 'isolation test' - remove any other devices connected to the phone line (other phones, faxes, foxtel etc) and see if it still drops out.
Ecky - what Mosses is telling you is that your modem has a problem with file sharing on Aussie Torents so when talking to the call centre you emphasis that this is what you are using the modem for - (the technical translation of this invovles a large number of Nats not bugs but Nats sharing some sort of table - this table gets over full and the modem crashes - I think !)
In short - Mosses is telling you that you will continue to have this problem if you keep using this modem - if you goggle your modem name and Aussie Torents you should find people with the same problem and their soloution
I to would like to thank Mosses for a most entertaining afternoon - the kids are fascinated that Nats are chewing through your chips
Good Luck Ecky

not really TQO, as Ecky isn't using file sharing or any Peer to Peer downloading, it's more likely some other problem. Best bet is to remove other devices from the line, and if pain persists see your helpdesk.
btw NAT Table = Network Address Translation Table
Interesting to see who your ISP is Ecky. I too are with them, and I too are having the same issues. Nothing has changed here pc or program wise, but in the last month or so the drop offs have been happening more and more.
Tried the line with a work lappy and nothing else connected, and it did the same.
I know of three other users with iPr and they are having the same problem.
Contact with them has been a waste of time as they want to know endless amounts of info on which lights on the modem are flashing at the time and how many times, that sort of cr--.
The first I know is when my pc cannot contact the server, and by then it has happened.
Been with them 6 years but out of contract with them now, so maybe time for a change.
we use amcom & have similar issues
