I just got a new Belkin 4 Port Router, Model F5D5231-4. I have Verizon
DSL with a Westell 2200 Modem.

After installing and connecting all wires, I'm getting a popup message
on the bottom right hand taksbar "lan cable has been unplugged" on a
constant basis; could be every 10 minutes, sometimes, lesst spaced
somtimes more, but constantly. After a few minutes, a new message pops
up showing that it is plugged in and on at 100 MBPS.

Once this happens, the modem gets disconnected too because it's
connected via the PC. It can't be reconnected until and unless the
router is reset, setup again, etc. and on it goes.

I was on with Belkin tech support last week 4 a hour, it looked like
the #1 port is no good; switched to #2, it stayed on a bit while I was
with the tech guy. But later got same message again and in less then 2
minutes out pops the message "has been unplugged".

ALL CABLES ARE TIGHTLY SEATED, I SWITCHED CABLE TO ASSURE THEIR
INTEGRITY, it seems that windows xp keep disconnecting with the router
for some odd reason.

I've DISABLED power management (as MS suggests in 1 of their
responses.) but to no avail.

Belking is replacing the router due to #1 port being bad. But I'm
sure this problem will remain. Any thoughts ?

Thank you.

Larry
