Captain Jerry 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2006 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yordan 10 Report post Posted June 8, 2006 How are you connected to the router ? Through an Ethernet cable ?I had this problem once with a NIC adapter falling, I corrected it when I discovered that in the MS-Windows "properties" of the NIC was checked "allow Microsoft Windows to power off this device when needed". I unchecked the "allow" box and had no more problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
