Question

Why does my 2Wire HomePortal Monitor stop working out of nowhere all the time?

After I've been using the internet for a while now, I would get this message: http://img149.imageshack.us/my.php?image=whyyyvw1.png

and then the internet won't work. I have to restart the computer to get the internet to work again. This happens almost at least once a day. What do I do?

Seems you are not alone. It sounds like it could be a bad flash of the software on the router or it could be the firewall on your computer blocking the monitor. The post at

seems to have some good info you might be able to use.
