Well -- what happened if you connect the XP directly to
your cable modem, does it work ???

I am slo having same problem, in my case i connected
directly to the Cable modem but after 1 or 2 mts it can't
browse internet any more..

I think XP some how has some kinda bug with internet
browsing........see my notes above..

cheers
