Re: HELP!! Strange!! things!
Sounds Like a buggered ethernet card, check that the drivers are fully up to date, and working, and before changing from USB to ethernet , power cycle the modem, connect ethernet, and release/renew its IP, If it works, nice, If any errors occur, and you get a 169.254.X.X IP address (oops 2 mistakes), then your ethernet card is failing to communicate with the cable modem, or its being blocked from doing so, if so try leaving the modem off all night, try it again in the morn and if the same error occurs, then a failed Ethernet card is a distince possibilty (I had a similar issue, couldnt change from USB to ethernet, quick change of Ethernet card , after days of trying, solved it)
