Flickering enet-send-recv lights
 

Hi

I'm getting continually flickering enet send and recv lights on my VirginMedia modem ... numbers underneath say it's an Ambit (256, I think) and my service is 20Mb.

Any ideas?

Is the modem conecting to the computer directly or does it go via a router?

If it goes via a router the router conected to the computer via cable or wireless?

Blinks away like crazy on my modem, I put it down to the usual noise from the VM network, ARP broadcasts and stuff.

Enet flashing means the modem is talking to your computer:)

Send flashing means the modem is talking to the Virgin network:)

Receive flashing means the network is talking to the modem:)

Completely normal and nothing to worry about.;)

OK, thanks for that.

Yep, mine is going at it constantly even when I know there is nothing going on. I have a router / firewall connected to CM, previously I had an ADSL modem and the lights on that only flashed when there was real traffic. My firewall traffic stats do not show constant traffic or any spikes so I guess it's just the modem (Ambit 256).
