Brief periodic loss of cable connection

T

the captain

I am periodically losing my Internet connection on my primary
computer. It is physically connected to the cable modem, as opposed
to a wireless connection. About every 10 to 15 minutes, a message
window will pop up at the bottom of my screen indicating that the
"cable is not connected". I lose the connection for a second or two,
and then it come back up.

Since the problem started, I have replaced the network card, all the
network cables and the cable modem. My cable provider has physically
inspected the equipment and decided it must be a problem with my
system/sofware.

I am running Windows XP Media Center. I run antivirus and antispyware
software religiously. Any suggestions as to what the problem might
be?

Check "Power Management" in Device Manager, of your network adapter
Properties. UNcheck "Allow the computer to shut off this device........"
