Dropping Off-line Any way to test a Cable Modem or Router?

[CaptainJerry 0]

I've been having this problem lately of dropping off-line (always on, cable access) I use to have to cycle (unplug and replug) the Cable Modem and the Router (wired Router) in sequence to get back on-line. So I replaced the Cable Modem and Router. Now I'm dropping offline less often, and I can get back on by just cycling the Router.Q. Is there anyway to "test" a Cable Modem and/or Router to see for sure where the "stoppage" is?//Captain.Jerry/

Does you ever tried accesing your router with a web browser.

most likely the adress will be http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ or http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ (or another adress look in the manual).
In the configuration site there is most of the time a logging, where you see the events.
There you may find an answer for your problem.

Note: When you power-off the router the logging is cleared, so try to reach it before powering off.

I also have a problem with my connection droping very often. The problem stared when I changed my computer. Before I was using windows xp now is vista primium. I have done everything I know but the router (belkin) still doing it. Any sugestions? Thanks
