Press the Reset button on the back panel of the Cable Modem. Using an object with a small tip, such as a pen, push the button until you feel it click. Then try reconnecting to the Internet.

Make sure TCP/IP is the default protocol used by your computer. For more information, refer to “Appendix B: Windows Help.”
