I get the same problem running WinXP. I leave the computer on all the
time and about every 3rd time I connect to internet, no data gets through,
it's like I'm not really connected at all. I never reboot the modem but
when I reboot the comp, everything works fine again. My firewall is ZA
Pro and I'm using the latest version.
