Cable Forum - View Single Post - Continious D/S Activity? (DUNSTABLE/LUTON)

Hi Guys,

Just wondering if any one can help out? The last few days I have noticed the the D/S light on my cable modem (NTL HOME 100?) is contantly on. I have Linksys Router attached and the link light on there is also constantly flickering - a lot faster than it did do before. I have rebooted my modem but as soon as the SYNCH and RDY lights stabilise the D/S is on. In the past this used flicker occasionally and only when I was downloading or surfing the web. It is not affecting my ability to surf the web or download but it is having a major affect on my ability to sustain a connection whilst playing SOCOM II or any games via my PS2 Online.

Is this normal? or is someone/something trying to hack through? I have checked my incoming router logs and nothing appears, therefore I am assuming someone is trying to access a port and the router is blocking it.

Can any one shed some light, suggest anything I can do? any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
