Some cable modems have to be reset when you move them from one device (computer or router) to another. Unplug the power from your cable modem, wait a few seconds, plug it back in, and see if that makes everything work. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.
