I've had the same problem. I've been in touch with
my ISP, AT&T Broadband, and with Motorola, the maker
of the cable modem. Periodically it will "lock up"
and disable my network connectivity. I can't even
access e-mail or newsgroups. Powering down the computer
and rebooting does no good. The only answer is to
disconnect the power cord on the modem and let the
modem reset. It seems to happen most frequently when
sending a response to a forum posting. I just had my
cable modem replaced last month.
NOTE: I just tried the first time to send this message,
and my system locked up again. I had to power down the
modem and let it reset.
