Problem, Meet Solution

Cable Modem, DSL, and LAN Internet Connections

Make sure all modem cables are fully plugged in, including the modem power cord,
the cable from the modem to the computer, and the cable from the modem to the wall
jack. Check the cables and power supplies for Ethernet hubs and routers.
Turn off your DSL or cable modem for a few minutes, and then turn it back on. Some
ISPs recommend that you unplug the modem’s power cord. If your modem has a reset
button, you can press it either before or after you turn the power off and on.
