went to the Cox store, they added it to my bill and inputed the mac address there so when I got back it plugged right in. >At 06:27 PM 1/8/2006, you wrote: >>Before ditching Cox I would first see upgrading your cable modem to a current >>generation model will help.

Possibility along with bad cable somewhere, I had them chance some ends once when the cable was fuzzy. When they installed the phone drop to the street the installer used inside connectors which failed. All I know is my problems stopped when I put in the new modem, YMMV. Is there, and is it possible to do a firmware update to these modems ? I have no idea myself, my old modem was supposedly up gradable but no way I ever saw to actually do it. :-( Luck fp -- Tallyho ! ]:8) Taglines below ! -- A well-written life is as rare as a well-spent one.
