I have to remove power (unplug modem/plug back in) often to reestablish my
internet connection when I power up my computer. This use to happen every so
often but now is becoming almost a daily event. Is this a fault with my
modem? The modem is the original purchased through insight a few years
back; it is a 3 com unit (looks like a shark fin), model 3CR29223. Also
recently the cable company cut my line in the process of providing service
to my neighbor. I now have a line laying in my yard and this problem with
the modem has increased. Could it be possible that low signal strength
could cause this problem? I have added a amplifier but that did not help.
Please provide any information that may be of assistance.

I'd call the Cable company to fix that line. Let them check the modem and
replace the cable
connectors too. You're paying for the service, so make them fix it.

Meanwhile, make sure that the problem isn't with your software.
Click Start, Settings, Control Panel, Network Connections, right-click the
network connection,
properties, and check the box, "Show Icon in notification area when connected",
OK.

Now click the Network connection icon on the taskbar, click the "Support" tab,
and click the
"Repair" button. If that fixed the connection, the problem is NOT the modem.

Download Microsoft's IPConfig Utility for Windows 2k, NT, XP "Wntipcfg.exe"
It's just like the "Winipcfg.exe" in Windows98. It beats the hell out of using
DOS commands...

Direct download:
<http://download.microsoft.com/download/win2000platform/wntipcfg/1.00.0.1/nt5/en-us/WntIpcfg_setup.exe>

Run it to "Releasel", then "Renew" your lease. If that fixed the connection,
the problem is
NOT the modem.

If the only fix is to unplug the modem, it's either the modem or the cable.

I will look at these I believe I have done the first to items. Because I
have tried to have the software fix the conection and it fails. Also cable
company (insights) software will not fix connection but as soon as I unplug
and plug back in the connection is good. I will post what I find thank-you.

That model is getting old and may not support the newer, faster,
speeds.

To access it's internal menus and diagnostics, use the address
http://3comcablemodem (there is also an internal IP address, but it's
oddball compared to newer modems. I used to have one.) Once there, you
can find out the up and downlink signal levels. I also remember it had a
page giving the up and downlink speed limits, too. You can also turn
on/off the connection sounds.
