Update - Funny enough, my old cablemodem failed on my coincidentally
while I was experiencing these problems. The modem was a Motorola
Cybersurfer which appears to be a 'CLDP' modem. Needless to say, my
provider is swapping those out (since it's very old, and I've had it
since around 1998) They replaced it with a new Motorola Surfboard
DOCSIS 2.0 modem. With the new modem, I then thought to upgrade the
firmware to 2.50 on a whim...Turns out it worked! So it appears the
Dlink doesn't like specific modems, and my old one looks like one of
them. Bear in mind I played with all the modem specific settings (ie.
WAN speed, which is pretty much the only setting I think there is?)
In any case, hope this helps any other users, as I was at my wits end
on it.
Cheers
Simon
