Well, Technically its not hardware or software, but it is whats causing it....

ever since I got my new PC, its seems like whenever im downloading anything, like from a p2p program like shareaza, or something like bittorrent, my cable modem periodically resets itself, and I can access anything on the internet until it connects again...anyone know anything?

btw, im using XP with SP2

Make sure your ISP dosn't block things like that, though why they would confuses me...

Anyway, if it only fails while using a P2P client, that makes no sense (unless the above is true, but like I said, I doubt it)

Try calling your ISP about it, but only mention that it goes down when you try downloading something; I've never heard of a moden doing that

Mine resets occasionally but I've never noticed a pattern to it. They could be blocking the ports, but I would also guess you're using too much bandwidth up or down... possibly too much for the modem to handle even. (Of course it could be defective, or both. )

ill give em a call today, but yea, it doesnt happen if I download things from the internet, only p2p software...so it makes no sense, and its not the isp, cause it never happened on my other computer...

edit:well...ive tried a few things.....and I switched over from a network cable, to using a USB connection, the modem has it built in, and so far, it hasnt reset itself....so I think it was the network card...connecting with the usb, it doesnt need the network card, so its working fine now it seems...
