Ethernet connection drops if i am downloading a large file and the pc needs rebooted. I have even noticed using Mirc (a chat client) that when you login it cannot find my ident which works fine when using USB.

This is definetley a software issue and not a hardware one as my modem has worked great for a number of years. I do not get the limited or no connectivity (it is ticked to show if this happens) when the ethernet connection dies.


I am using Windows Xp - Sp2
Scientific Atlanta Cable Modem which is working properly.

Can anyone help please ?
