pace stb problems
have had 1mb broadband for about 3 years now and for the past year has required rebooting every 12hours or so due to the loss of the internet connection.
problem started a couple months after upgrading my comp from win98 to winxp pro and i no this isnt the cause as i have a laptop (winxp home) which looses connection aswell even if it is the only comp on the network. i also have my xbox and ps2 on the network which looses connection randomly.
after i restart my stb the connection is fine and can use the net again.
called several technicians out but all they have done is change some of the connections, added a signal thingy and replaced the stb and none of this has helped.
has anybody experienced any similar problems
any thoughts would be good

Re: pace stb problems
the technicians also said that the problem could be service pack 2 on winxp and refered me to the microsoft website. he gave me code which when searched for didnt seem to exist
Just a note for you had a belkin for many years and had to reboot it on the stb connection often.
Tried a actiontec and it was similar having to reboot, using us robotics now works perfect
From experience check router especially belkin ones
also check the stb return path and snr values.
