Broadband modem goes ballistic

    Hi all,

    Has anyone else had this happen? I've got a Zyxel Prestige 600 series broadband modem from Esat/BT. I started to hear an odd audible click or two from it now and again. But just now it's gone mad for about a minute solid. I thought it was going to clap out totally. The unit is about 2 years old at this stage.

    This may be a good time to ask if it's possible to get other models. Not that I'm unhappy with it, or my service. I regularly see download speeds exceeding 200kbs. Depending on where they're downloading from, of course.

    My modem, the same as yours, makes that clicking sound as it is resetting itself. In my case, it was because bittorrent was overloading the nat table, causing it to have a fit and die for a moment.
