I recently reconnected a cable modem to my system.The Enet light keeps flashing rapidly on it,in turn causes the router ACT light to flash as well.This is a constant blink.All other LEDS indicate a good connection to ISP,and good link to router.However something is preventing me to connect on-line.Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Cable Modem Question

It sounds as if it is failing MAC authentication.
If the modem has been switched off, but plugged in, unplug the modem for a full minute. Then plug it back in to force a re-read of your computer's MAC address.
If you are going to a router, you might want to clone the MAC address of your principal PC (see Ipconfig /all for the "physical address"
and then follow the unplugged modem, wait, etc.. routine.
