Alessandro,

Most of the help you'll get here deals with Windows Networking, and issues
specifically related to Windows XP. For help with cable broadband issues, you
really should try a forum dedicated to that. For general issues, that would be
comp.dcom.modems.cable:
<http://groups.google.com/group/comp.dcom.modems.cable>

Since it appears that your service is thru RoadRunner, I'll refer you to the BBR
RR Forum, where you can get help from other customers.
