ISP Glossary:
Mousepad - [TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: The three devices which pain me the most -- the cable modem, the Vonage Motorola TX box, and the Netgear Wireless router box -- do not have 'off/on switches' on them to toggle as needed. They simply have plugs from power supplies (plugged in wall outlets) to the back of the units. You want to power the device down you have to unplug them from the back of unit or the wall. PAT]The cable modem, of all things, should not be affected by the networksetup you have, since its sitting on the "outside". If it is indeednot working properly, it could just be that your cable modem iscausing you all the grief with your network. Either way, I'd do thefollowing to troubleshoot:1. Call your ISP to check if your cable modem is (still?) compatiblewith their network. i.e. If your ISP's network is DOCSIS (1.0/2.0), andyour cable modem isn't, you're bound to run into network problems. Also,make sure they have the correct binary (config) file set for yourspecific cable modem in their system.2. Check to see if you can still access the cable modem's web interfaceusing http://192.168.100.1 from within your LAN. If that works, look atthe various RF attributes to make sure they're "fine", particularly theSNR (signal-to-noise ratio) and (upstream) transmit levels. If your CMgoes outside the "normal" range, you may have problems intermittently.Just my $0.02 worth,-- Ankur
