I thought I'd post this here, maybe some one can help.
I own the above mentioned cable modem and am experiencing problems
with intermintent dropping of the (ethernet) connection between my PC and the modem. I have swapped cables three times now. It seems like it is
holding the connection, but will see. The modem does not loose the connection to the cable internet, only to my PC, it seems. I was originally using it through my NETGEAR router with same problems. Before that I had a SMC wireless router set up. I kept thinking it's the cable company (Rogers in Ontario, Canada), but it turns out that it is a local problem.
Has anyone else had problems like this, with this model of modem?
Any input appreciated.

My comp is a XP home with 1Gig of RAM and 200Gig HDD. The ethernet card is integrated. CPU is Intel P4 3.1gHz HT.
