Maybe I can respond to tc also here. My modem was not indicating anything other than normal activity, in other words, all lights on normally. I also was not able to connect with the other two computers on the network.
to The Cow, I have never run any firewall, relying on the router but am considering Zone Alarm. So that was not my problem.
to Malibuca, I've gotten the same "grasping at straws" feeling from Cox tech support, too.
Oddly enough, I haven't had the problem for about two months while making no changes except to finally install SP2 about a week ago. It's a head scratcher, alright!
