Hey guys. I have service through my satellite company and have no problems with recieving according to the modem, however the sending light hardly flashes at all. I'm able to log onto the internet but only for about 15 minutes or so before it just starts timing out and saying there is no connection. Any ideas on what I should do ?? Thanks

Try contacting your ISP and relay the situation to them, it'd be a place to start at anyway.

One more thing (I should have put this in my previous post, getting late here and I ain't no Spring chicken) check the modem itself and be sure the little cooling holes are not clogged with dust. I had a similar problem and it was due to clogged modem holes. Use compressed air to blow out the holes.

When my modem got hot, web pages were slow to load and eventually timed out.
