My icon in my task bar in the lower left of my desktop says I am connected and my signal is strong. I know I'm disconnected because the web page that I try to load says Page Load Error and doesn't load, also my Windows Messenger disconnects. This has only been happening the past few weeks, before now I've had no problems. I do have a cordless phone in my room and one other person that uses this internet modem, who is directly connected to the modem. They aren't experiencing any problems.
