HELP!

[Raphael]

I just set up XP. I have a cable modem (RCA) connected
via ethernet cable. Every few seconds, the connection
between the computer and the modem just drops (I get the
message LAN Cable Unplugged - with the red "X" through the
Network Connection Icon). The cable is fine - the modem
is fine - the computer tells me the ethernet card is fine -
but for some reason, the IP addresses just disappear. My
cable company tells me that the TCP/IP settings are
correct - set to automatically identify IP address. When
we ran ipconfig/all, if you happen run it when the
connection is up, it shows IP addresses. If you run it
when the connection has dropped, no IP addresses appear
and it says "Media Disconnected" or something like that.
It's like the IP addresses appear and then just
disappear! HELP!

Try replacing your cable lines and Lan cables, it's
always possible that they are slightly loose, and
whenever they jiggle a little bit that they just
disconnect a little, i know my cable for my tv does that
from time to time, maybe it's something as simple as that.

or, as with the ipconfig /all that merely shows your ip
status, try ipconfig /release (that will realease your
connection) then immediatly after, ipconfig /renew (to
reconnect) for me, in most cases, this will fix my
interent disconnection problems
