Hey Fellow Spodes,
I got a cable modem last week, and it isn't quite working right. It goes out just about every time I click on a link (Go to DRN home page, it load half the pics, freezes. Click on forums. Freezes. Reloads and it comes up immedeatly. Repeat...) Is there something wrong with my settings? Is it how the cable is wired? They've only had this network in my neighborhood for two weeks, so is it just because it's new? When it works, it is FAST (like 150 Kbs), but it blinks out way too much. Thanks a lot

It sounds like you are getting a lot of data loss, maybe due to line noise. Some cable modems have internal data pages that you can access for diagnostic tests. What brand modem do you have?
