Because I thought that the light was supposed to show you that the lead is connected. If it blinks, does that mean the connection is intermittent?
Kind of a daft thing to ask after 1 year of service.

By ethernet light, you definitely mean the light that indicates the PC & the modem are connected? (it's called the "PC" light on my Terayon modem).
I don't think that's meant to flash! It's always solid on my modem, indicating that the PC & modem are connected OK.
(and the cable light is also always solid, showing a connection to NTL)

A solid light often (not always) means the NIC drivers need reinstalling.

The Data light is meant to flash, but I think Death Jester is saying his PC-modem link light is flashing?
