Modem Crashes

sharp15 · 04-01-2006, 10:54 AM

Every once in a while I have to run down to my basement to reset my modem, because my internet goes down. I think this is caused by p2p sharing like limewire any way to get my modem to not shut off?

power cycle your modem that's what i've been told by my ISP. it helped me.

Stop using Limewire?

Never stop using limewire, and how do i power cycle?

If you mean by going downstairs and manually turning my modem on then off then that gets me nowhere since thats what ive been doing.

welll i'm not good with LAN and Modems i had the same problem yesterday again . i duno what happned all the light on my modem were on but i couldn't get connectivity with my network . so i disconnected everything used a new ethernet cable then left it alone over night and this morning everything was fine.as for port forwarding i'm guessing not sure but guessing that that u can find that in your network connections in your control panel .try a new cord that was my problem .if not i recommned u get a new modem because modems are known to be damaged after a period of time randomly. but good luck . google around you'll find something.
