Okay so having spent the last day and a half trying every possible setting and config I could think of I figured I'd ask you guys, since you always know, and all
I've been setting up an office network, all PCs connected to a D-Link switch, then to a Belkin router, then to a cable modem
I'm in the process of switching over from a DSL ISP to cable.
This setup (pc>switch>router>modem) works fine on the DSL line. No IP problems (duh), nothing.
Now on the dynamic cable line, I keep having this problem.
...I set up all computers as above. I go through the office, EVERY computer is working, downloading, all is fine. All PCs are set to auto, the router has DHCP enabled.
...then out of nowhere, sometimes a few minutes, recently it took 15 minutes, EVERYTHING goes offline. Router says it cannot find the modem / connection is offline. The modem says its online, but not sending/receiving. Cycle through and things go online again. Rinse, repeat.
Why is everything going offline like this? This is the 2nd router I've tried so far, so I think I can safely say it's working fine, especially since its fine on the DSL. Same goes for the switch. The ISP tells me the modem is working fine and that it's something on my end.
Ideas?
