Anyone have modem problems with this site?

This is my most visited website but am experiencing modem problems when on it. I keep having to reset my cable modem to stay online. Just wondering if anyone else has this problem. Maybe the problem is with my system but I don't have the trouble with other sites and I love this website.

I had the same problem also. I asked AudiogoN about my problem and they replied that I was unique. I changed from an ethernet input to a standard input-no more lockups, but a slower running web.

This site seems to slow up quite a bit at 10PM EST every day.

Hmmmm:
Is everyone who has the problem using a Motorola cable modem? My windows version is ME and many people complain about it. I may switch to NT/XP.

As noted above, I'm having the problem using a
Motorola Surfboard modem, which was installed by
my ISP about a month ago. I'm running Windows XP
Professional, so upgrading your operating system
will NOT help.

THIS IS TOO STRANGE. I had this problem as well. ATT/Motorola Surfboard. My problem has ceased. Maybe it was an ATT thing. Maybe it was these solutions I tried.

1) Plug the modem directly into the wall if it is in a surge protector now.

2) If you are using Windows XP, left click on start/control panel/network settings/Local Area Connection/properties/configure/power management. Make sure the "allow the computer to shut down this device to save power" box is NOT checked. Click all the OK's and close's, then restart the computer.

Since I have done this today I have had ZERO problems
