Not this time! :-) I replaced the cable modem (Motorola Surfboard 5100) w/ the 5120 and everything seems to be working now. I spent about an hour on the phone w/ Comcast trying to explain why I bought a new modem. All I wanted them to do was update serial number and the other number from the bottom of the modem. My downloads seem to be MUCH faster. How reliable is the speed test from over at Speakeasy? Have you guys ever tried it? I did a test out of NYC...

He probably killed his router flashing the firmware. ;) Evan hasn’t posted in a couple days. He probably killed his router flashing the firmware. ;)

It's probably your router. I have an old Linux-based Linksys WRT54g and it works like a champ. My advice would be to make sure your router's running the most recent firmware available for it. If that doesn't solve it, it's time for advanced troubleshooting to track down what device is causing your connection to die. I haven’t had any problems at all.

I picked up a 360 (it's AWESOME!!) and noticed that my Internet drops every 45-60 minutes while I'm playing online or downloading a demo or something. Any suggestions?

Thats why I love my lite, it fits in my pocket whereas my old red one did not. Its funny, Matt (who was on the show) *always* has his DS with him and we rarely ever play it when we hang out -- but the *one* day we had some time to kill he had left it at home because "we were never playing it". Needless to say he carries it all the time again! ;) Always bring your DS! Thats why I love my lite, it fits in my pocket whereas my old red one did not.

I waited at a mall for 4 hours to see that show (not in line, that's just how many showings were sold out), and it wasn't worth it. I even forgot to bring my DS!
