Norco, CA | Problem with 5100b It freezes while I play World Of Warcraft and I have to manually reboot by turning power off and on. It happens to steam games while searching for servers as well. Any help will be appreciated | |

| If you are using peer-to-peer file sharing software and/or games requiring the browsing of a large number of servers
You need to limit the number of nat sessions through the software
Too many nat sessions will cause problems for most routers/modems | |

| You can increase the number of NAT sessions (somewhat) that the modem can handle by setting the modem to be in "PPP on computer" or in "bridged" mode and let your router handle the PPPoE connection. The modem even in these modes still isn't a true bridged modem. It continues to load the connections into its NAT table, but because it isn't handling the PPPoE there is some additional memory available for that table. | |

Norco, CA | I have tried what you guys have recommended to me and so far it still crashes. Maybe buying a new modem will fix it? | |

What version shows as installed on the Web Interface?
Are you using a single PC hooked to the Modem? | |

| Re: Problem with 5100b said by linkmister  :How do I do that? Can you explain step by step? In your browser go to the following URL:
»192.168.0.1/
On the left, select the "Advanced" tab and under that select "PPP locations" which is the 2nd from the top. Then enter your access code (number on the bottom of the modem) and follow the dialog. Change to "PPP on the computer" or "bridge mode."
If you cannot access the modem GUI because you have a router in the way, the simplest thing is to disconnect the router and connect the modem directly to your computer's Ethernet port.
Good luck.

Norco, CA | Set it up in PPP mode. Internet went down. Went to bridged mode. Everything went down and I had to hit the reset button. Is the only solution to buy a new modem? | |

| Couple problems here and their. When opening Steam I can't access the store or else steam will just freeze and I have to CTRL ALT DELETE but I can just order games over the web. Not a big deal, this also happens to Winamp as well but I never really used it anyway, Thanks again | |

I'd suggest reading through their FAQs and ask for Steam support. | |
