Hi all,
Recently I've been experiencing issues with my cable connection.
The problem arises after my computer has been idling for awhile, then I can no longer load websites and the Local Area Connection Status says packets received is 0. I experience this problem two or three times a day.
The only way to solve this problem is to shut down my computer, unplug my modem, and wait for a minute before I switch my computer bag on.
I called my ISP provider and they couldn't pinpoint my problem, so I'm wondering if the connection issue that I'm experiencing is hardware related. Thank you.

If you need to reboot your cable modem in order to get back online, I'd have to say it's a cable company problem.

I had the same problem with my RCN cable when I first got my HP Desktop, only to realize that it was most likely the bundled Norton Virus 2006 that was the problem. I always suspected it.
I say this because after I did a recovery from recovery discs, I quickly removed Norton and loaded avast instead. I never had the problem again since.
So if your using Norton, there could be a huge chance of it being the problem.
Cable dies, only solution is to shut down computer.
