I have a Siemens Speedstream 4100 modem (ethernet connection) connected
to a wireliess linksys router G2.4 broadcom. Very randomly the
connection to the internet breaks off without any trigger. Sometimes if
inactive for a while but it can be in a middle of a session also. When
the connection breaks I have tried to disconnect the wireliess router
and connect direct to the modem but still cannot revive the connection.
Every time I have even swithced off computer & modem but to no avail.
There is a little reset pin behind and even using that doesnt seem to
help. The connection comes back after a while sometimes by repairing,
sometmes just swithching off and trying after a couple of hours. The
ISP technical support thinks it may be a modem problem, the modem
supplier says it will cost a few hundred dollars to buy a new modem.
The LINKSYS router seems to be fine and not contributing to the
problem
We have a HP Windows XP desktop and Compaq XP/ Dell XP laptops which we
use to connect and a firewall with zonealarm security suite.
