    I ended up getting a Motorola modem. Connected first time no problems.  Not the best download speed on Gigablast, but better than what I had.  Thanks! Got the Motorola MB8600.

Hi JMAN3203. Standard Modems only remember the last device connected to it via ethernet cable. To get a fresh connection, unplug the power and ethernet cable from the modem, wait for 30 seconds and then plug only the power back in and wait until the modem comes back online (takes up to 5 minutes) and then connect the ethernet cable from your computer to the modem. - Lisa
