It stays this way for up to two to four minutes, then finally fixes itself and full access is granted once again. I can't find an answer to this anywhere. It seems I am the only person in the world with this problem, even among other users of this very product. I was once told to go into my network settings and disable IP v6, so I did, and to make a static IP, which I did. No change. Halp --------------------

If so, let the modem handle the DHCP server and turn off the routers DHCP. Thats what I ended up doing at Mums anyway, and it seems to work reasonably well. -------------------- Ruddy pictures!

All the people on forums I visit that have drawn a Flygon or Breloom.

Got the latest when I installed everything.

I'll try this, thanks.

Well, I can't get into any modem settings for some reason (or no reason). Wut. So I tried enabled DHCP through my "manage network connection" properties, disabled DHCP on my router, and.. no internet access.

Right now I have a static IP running through my Vista network settings, and DHCP disabled for my router, and I'm still having the same problem in the OP. I'll have to call Comcast about the modem settings I guess, but the router is not from them so they won't be able to help me after that. Hnnnghh
