I am now daily getting dropped between 5pm and 10pm. No amount of resetting
or powercyle will force the connection. It seems to last anywhere from 20
min to 2 hours and cable modem will not get an 'upstream lock'.

anyone else getting this or have any idea if there anything that can be done
on my end to correct this.

If it was me I would start recording the power levels
from the cablem modem to see what I could see.

I have a Motorola SURFboard sb4220 and
http://192.168.100.1/signal.htm
shows up/down stream values evetry time I reload the page.

Down Stream
Signal to Noise Ratio 34 dB
Power Level -4 dBmV

Up Stream
Power Level 42 dBmV

Then there is the modem log
http://192.168.100.1/logs.htm

i just got off with tech support, they acknowledge the power levels upstream
are on the 'low side' they are about 53dBmV, which seems higher than yours
if i understand this correctly

i hope that is it and they can get it taken care of...huge pain to keep
messing with it and suddenly be internetless

You want to stay between 45-55dBmv. Max is 60 (per standard). If it
reaches any higher than 56, you are looking at possible issues on the
upstream from either the cable drop or HFC network on your fiber node.

Yours have been the only posts I have seen so far that have had this affect
on OE. Very strange quirk in it indeed - thanks for the support link. I
verified by firing up Agent - I use OE for text only groups (which generally
works just fine), Agent for binaries. One question - why would your posts
start with the word "begin" followed by two spaces?

To confuse some newsreaders, perhaps?

well, the comcase guys came out, after threatening to bill me for everything
but the kitchen sink if it wasnt there problem. i decided to risk it

turns out that its heat, they say heat kills the signal, also apparently
AT&T put line singal noise reducers all over plano and comcast wants them
out. in addition, when i had digital TV installed, apparently the kid who
did it messed up some wiriing config, which while it worked meant that i had
way to much noise on my line, that combined with the heat was causing me to
drop in the evening during the hottest parts of the day. keep in mind
majority of my wiring is in attic, so makes sense

either way, guy was here about 10 minutes and no more dropped
connections....... yet
