hi, ive recently acquired this modem and the problem im having is that when i tried to flash the newer firmware on to it, it didnt work so i followed the haynes guide and used the exact firmware that he said and guess what, it worked!

not the problem is that everytime i use the modem itll work for a while then itll just stop connecting to the net i,e i wont be able to browse. i have to dc it and then wait for like hours till it works again...

any help or ideas would be apreciated. the mac works perfectly as ive tried it one three diff modems.

thnks to all.
