I had a rather strange one--any friends who see this who hang out on undernet's #freebsd know about it and may snicker. Short version--after a snowstorm, the cable connection would die apparently randomly. Cable company came out twice, at both times it worked perfectly. Finally figured it out--our apartment is not all that warm. When I plugged in an electric heater, it would kill the cable connection. Also, a transformer thing that my wife has to convert a Japanese Microwave to work with American power outlets has been known to do the same thing. So, while it may have no relationship to your problem, you might check if there's any connection (pun intended) to the cable connection dying and plugging in some appliance. I should add--this wasn't a power blackout, or the modem totally dying--it was simply a killing of the connection between the modem and the outside--the LAN connection et al was fine.
