Sorry if this is in the wrong place, I honestly have no idea the exact section it would go into. It is, however, a network related issue.
We have an SMC7004VBR router with three computer connecting to it and our internet comes in through a happy little cable modem.
I tried setting up some port forwarding on it which didn't end up working for what I wanted it to do. About this time our internet started dropping out every ten minutes to two hours. All we had to do to get it working again was restart the cable modem.
Thinking it was the port forwarding doing it I undid any changes I made to the port forwarding tables. This didn't help. We reset the router back to its default settings, this didn't help. Heck, I formated my computer and it stopped for a while. I've reinstalled a lot sofar so I don't know if it may still be something on mine ... anyway.
The router seems to randomly lose its IP address and can't connect back to our ISP to get a new one. I'm just trying to fathom whats going on here. I feel like I've already talked to much so its time for me to get some input.
