the mtnl babus finally solved the disconnection prob.it was a damn "battery" that was interfering with my telephone lineso the line was changed in three diff places....the line from my home to the common box for the building, the line from that box to the mtnl main box and from there to the exchange (its about 1-1.5km from my home).but this instability is really bothering me.the pages just stop opening half way.but if i try another website at the same time or maybe a sec later, that will open fine.even if i close the IE browser and try reopening the same webpage which was not loading completely, still it wudnt load like as if its temporarily blocked.this prob happens with any site at random...hotmail, yahoo etc.i know for a fact that the sites arent down, its just happening on my pc or its happening due to the mtnl connection.do u think reinstalling the OS will solve this or is this EXACT prob a common one with u guys too?pls note: a system restore to a date prior to the prob didnt solve the prob.
