Do not go by what the lights say ! They will be on even
when the upstream/downstream signals are weak.

First change the patch cord linking your NIC and cable modem
and test. If the problem remains, change your NIC card for
something better, say a 3Com/Intel Ether Pro Plus. If you
are still short of luck, change/borrow the cable modem (get the
SB 3100 model to test, it is more proven) and check.
Please do keep the list informed of how you fixed your issue.
