I have a Motorola Surfboard 4200 cable modem. Recently the activity light quit flashing and I in turn quit receiveing an internet connection. I was connected through an ethernet connection. I tried on two different computers. Both machines informed me that the network cable was unplugged. Before I gave up, I tried to hook up via the USB connection. This worked fine. The problem is that I cannot connect through an ethernet connection and cannot use a router. I just bought a linksys router that I was hoping to use but I ran into these problems prior to hooking it up. Any ideas? I'm about to return the cable modem.
Thanks in advance.
