Recently subscribed to comcast@home cable internet service, I love the speed but its seems the cable modem does not keep the connection. After closeing the Explorer page or AOL and leaving the PC alone for a while (30 minutes or so) the modem loses the connection to the net and I have to reboot to reset the modem. I have used several diffferent makes of modems and re-checked all my settings constantly, to the point I am an expert at setting up cable modem settings. Could this be a software problem or OS problem???????
