rectifyer

i tried switching to sygate personal firewall, and the connection still resets after a half hour or so. i guess i will have to call the cable company and see what's up. thanks for the input.

i am having a weird problem. it seems about every 30-60 minutes, my internet connection will die then restart itself. it is almost like a spike that screws all connections, then it restarts the network. i am connected using a ethernet cable modem. this problem seemed to have started after a few weeks of using xp. the first couple weeks of using xp went fine. i am not sure if this is even an xp issue or maybe a cable modem issue. i don't notice the lights going out when this 'spike' occurs. also, another person i know has been experiencing this lately, and he is running xp now too. has anyone had this happen? or know any fixes? also, i am using zonealarm as my current firewall. thanks.
