I contacted Mediacom on the cable modem thinking it could be that and everything looks great on that end. I then reboot the Extreme and it will work for about a hour or so and go right back dropping connections. I have never had any issues in the past and this just started about a month ago. I have a newer Mac Mini connected to it as well as a older MacBook and a three year old
Windows XP box.<br><br>Does it look like I will have to replace it? I do have the logs if anyone knows how to read that sort of stuff. I looked at them, but I am not well verse in the Mac aspects of networking, since my work only uses Windows and that is my bread and butter. Any advice would be great.<br><br>James Corbett<br><br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>DMMUG mailing list<br>Use this Address to send mail to the list:<br><a href="mailto:DMMUG@dmmug.org">DMMUG@dmmug.org</a><br>Use this page to modify subscription options:<br>http://cialug.org/mailman/listinfo/dmmug<br><br></div></div></span></blockquote><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal; font-size: 14px; font-family: Helvetica; background-color: white; "><br></span></div><div class="aol_ad_footer" id="uCB3DB162DCDE48F1A847A5B79243F9D3"></div></div>
