[QUOTE="djdawson, post: 1181715, member: 142078"] I just saw an article in the latest Macworld magazine with someone having a similar problem. Their suggestion was to reset the cable modem, since sometimes they get weird about handing out addresses via DHCP. Most modems will reset if you leave them powered off for a couple minutes (yes, really a couple minutes). Others have a little battery in them and you have to use a paper clip and push a little reset button through a tiny hole, usually labelled "Reset". How long you have to hold it isn't clear, but often it takes about 3-5 seconds. I don't know if this is what you're seeing, but since it seems to be affecting multiple devices it sounds lore likely to be a router or modem issue rather than the individual devices. HTH - Good luck! [/QUOTE]
