Ok, whenever the phone rings/is used my internet goes out. On the computer until the phone is hung up, and on xbox live just enough to disconect me from a game (installation 4, you know what im talking about)
Whats up with that? Plus when i use xbox live my computers internet goes out, so it looks like phone and other router are seen by some mysterious force as higher priority

Yeah, it gets irritating.

You have DSL? Or Cable? If it's DSL... Then people might be able to help. If you have cable... Then the problems are completely unrelated. So we should probably assume that you have DSL. XD

I think you need to take this up with your ISP, sounds like a problem that they need to fix.

Try plugging it into the connection with the splitter, then have someone call you, and see what happens.

5/5 Stars - Kritz.net

The same thing happens to me. It cuts out the internet and XBL, and on the phone it makes a "BEEERRRP.... SHHRRRCCHHHHHHHHHHHHH..." sound.

I have the filter, but I don't have the right stuff to plug them both in at the phoneline. I forget what they're called.

Sorry for the lack of help, But I might be going the wrong way about this. So if anyone knows what the problem is, you're helping two people now.
