Comcast internet connection. My network connections report i should be getting 10Mbps. I have the Motorola SB5120 modem, with a Linksys BEFSX41 router. I have tried connecting my computer directly to the modem with no luck.
The trouble is that every three minutes or so, the connection seems to drop out for anywhere from 5 to 30 seconds at a time. It really affects me during games because i'll freeze for that 5 to 30 seconds, usually getting me killed. When it isn't acting weird and freezing on me, it runs as smooth as ice.
What could be going on? The only options i can think of that i haven't tried is my LAN card in my computer could be bad, or the connection from Comcast is bad. I don't know whether the modem is causing it, or the connection to the house.
