Hi, I got some fast internet service thru my local cable company. It's pretty good, but now and then there's a stalling effect, where web pages don't load on any browser. Only thing that gets things going again seems to be a restart of the computer. With the dialup, I could check the connection status, speed, etc. How do I check things with the cable modem? I'm thinking the trouble is if one page stalls, somehow the cable modem doesn't realize it shouldn't keep trying forever. I'd like to manually disconnect/reconnect but don't know how.
