Just a dumb thought, I had a similar problem, i.e. I lost outside access could not ping nor web surf. I found that the problem was my cable modem and not my lrp box nor the network cards in it. If I unplugged my cable modem and let it sit for around a minuite and simply plugged my cable modem back in I was able to get 'outside'. I solved the problem by creating a circuit to turn off the power to my cable modem, a script to ping the outside, a script to trigger the circuit via the serial port. and I have NOT had the problem since. Try turning off the modem when you cannot get out and wait for a bit of time and plug it in and see if that is part of the problem vette66 (chuck)
