What modem do you have? I had no problems with my Rogers connection at 
first. After several months I started having problems. It turned out 
that it was a bad modem (I had a Terayon TJ615 modem). It was replaced 
with a SurfBoard 5100 and life is good again.

The only other suggestion is to check the order in which you start your 
network interfaces if you have more than one. The interface connected to 
the cable modem must be started before the local network interface if 
you want to get online to the net. That has been my experience.
