Shut the modem off, and let it reset for 5 minutes? Probably just a temporary problem..<br />

They should always do the &quot;shutdown modem&quot; first. I'm shocked they never told you that!&nbsp;</p>

<p>I've had a similar problem ( I think ).</p><p>On the cable modem there's the one light, I'm not in front of it right now so I cant remember what its called but I think it says something about link,&nbsp;thats supposed to blink while its running but it just stays on constantly and everything takes forever to load. I've tried shutting off the modem but it doesnt appear to do anything.</p><p>My fear is that there's some kinda program that gone in through a virus thats constantly running behind the scenes ( I have checked the Task Manager but nothing out of the ordinary shows up although I'm sure a good trojan horse or something coould hide itself ).</p>
