RCA Cable Modem & Win2K SP2

My cable modem would work when i start the computer but after about 10-15 minute, the connection stalled. The "PC-Link Light" went off and i no longer can received any data. IT's frustrating because that i have to restart the computer in order to get internet access again. I looked on the FAQS and they tell me to unplug and plug back the USB cable (I use the USB Connection instead of Ethernet). That doesn't work.


Help me.

Running Windows 2000 Professional w/Service Pack 2

I know that it's not the cable company because when i plug it into my Windows ME machine, it works perfectly without being disconnected.
 
I have the Motorola SB4100 that supports a USB connection and I also had the same problem when using the USB port. I don't know if it's a problem with the USB network specs and Win2K (my win98 worked fine, but I don't use it as my main OS) but after being disconnected for the nth time, I just swapped for the NIC connection. Sorry if this doesn't help you, but the NIC might be worth it over USB in terms of gray hairs and stable connections. Good luck.
 
I don't know if this has any relevance but I had the exact same problem.. My problem was that I was running a firewall software that wasn't letting the cable modem renew its lease (which was set for a rediculous 1 hour)... anyway, I dont' know if you have a similar software package installed but if you do that could be your problem...
