I had a rather strange one--any friends who see this who hang out on undernet's #freebsd know about it and may snicker.=20 Short version--after a snowstorm, the cable connection would die apparently randomly. Cable company came out twice, at both times it worked perfectly.=20 Finally figured it out--our apartment is not all that warm. When I plugged in an electric heater, it would kill the cable connection. Also, a transformer thing that my wife has to convert a Japanese Microwave to work with American power outlets has been known to do the same thing. =20 So, while it may have no relationship to your problem, you might check if there's any connection (pun intended) to the cable connection dying and plugging in some appliance. =20 I should add--this wasn't a power blackout, or the modem totally dying--it was simply a killing of the connection between the modem and the outside--the LAN connection et al was fine.
