I guess it started happening about a week ago. Two times a day, the connection will just fail. I'm on RoadRunner. This hasn't happened before. IE, AIM, Windows Messenger, and Outlook will all not connect. All lights look good on the modem, but Sygate reports no incoming or outgoing data. The only way I can fix it is by restarting. I can restart immediately and the problem is fixed. Any ideas?
But there have been many storms in the past two weeks and the comp was cut off in a few power outage blinks maybe twice. That possibly have something to do with it? Maybe I should cycle the modem...
