i thought about the mac address thing too, but, if that was the case, then explain this:
before i got the router, it was connected straight to my machine, then shared over a second nic in my pc over ICS or Wingate, to PC2, and when it was connected that way, i didn't have this problem
just curious... maybe this are obvious quiz, but consider myself smacked toghether with you
i'm assuming that u tryed it with the NIC interface of the modem connected to a NIC in yr machine
did you used the original CAT5 cable u used to? (could be a crossed link one...
)
also, does yr modem as a USB interface also? you could try it to see if u can connect with it
yr hole prob can be the modem NIC interface in it's last days of life??...
one of the first symptoms of a dying NIC can be slow tranfer speed...
it as happened to me before
if it was to be the Mac addr, then a reset to the modem would definitly have solved it
just a thought, hope it helps
