Paul, This happened to me just yesterday with my cable modem, and it got fixed today. The problem was that the signal from my provider was just _barely_ strong enough for my cable modem to lock on. For the year that I've had this service I never had a problem (!) then just yesterday for some reason, it was just weak enough for my cable modem to loose the signal. It would eventually get the signal again, but this kept happening over and over again. This morning a technician from my provider came to my house and figured out the problem pretty quickly. He installed a signal amplifier, and now all is well. Hope this helps, Miark
