I have a situation that recently developed. I am set up with cox.net with two computers via a router. It has worked well for years, but recently we will lose internet connection and the only way to get it back is to disconnect the internet cable from the modem wait 30 seconds reconnect and then we can get the internet connection back. Cox says sometings is wrong with our router. Does that make sense? thanks cindy

Remove the router from the configuration for awhile. Then see if your connection drops. Cable companies are famous for blaming YOUR equipment. Also make sure the two computers have different names and different IP addresses. Rule #1 Good computers don't go down. Rule #2 There is no such thing as a good computer.

I'm also having the same problem. The cable link light goes out which indicates a Cox signal loss. I had the tech out to investigate and of course these guys are close to worthless so I still the same problem. I've had the problem for about 2 weeks now. I just read this article and it might be my problem because I have a Toshiba modem. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/07/06/AR2005070602058.html Gary
