I was getting that with my cable modem as well but never figured out what was
happening. The cable service was so bad that I switched to DSL and it
stopped. It may be related to the cable modem disconnecting from the cable
network due to idle time. I know that the DSL modem allows you to configure
it to always stay connected.
