cable modem - router - help

Did you do the 2 minute drill? Power off (i.e. unplug) everything (reset will not suffice). Then power up the modem (and wait 2 minutes - you see where this is going...) then power up the router (wait...) then power up the XP Home system.

If that fails you have bad connections on the cable...

i do that drill.. if i completely loose my internet... like if it dint reconnect... but my internet coms bak right away after i get disconnected... well that drill is the only "suggestion" comcast can tell you if i call them again.... =\

SSL??.. i dont think i have that... and yes i am using DHCP...and no it doesnt only happened when im using p2p programs... sometimes my computer is off and im jes playing xbox... i even get kickd out of xbox live for ... unknown reason...but after couple of sec i can connect back to xbox live again... !?!?!

is there any other way to stable my connection !?!?!?!?! my cable modem is acting like a 56k !! (not d speed) :(

mumble.. make sure to switch off SSL ... and make sure you are using DHCP and not setting some old IP address ... just because you get "connected" does not mean you are connected correctly... good luck!

Does this happen only when you're connected to P2P networks? If yes, try if reducing the maximum number of connections helps...most consumer routers only can sustain a limited number of sessions for more than a short while, and when you exceed this number for a longer time, they lose connection to the cable modem. This causes the active connections to drop, and allows the router to resume normal operation. Also, make sure you don't make the whole US bandwidth available to P2P programs as this might leave you with not enough bandwidth for 'normal' internet activity.

Cheers,
