Default Interesting (annoying) cable modem issue

I've an unusual problem with my cable link.

I used to have an old PC running as a router, but had problems with it so replaced with a pair of back to back routers with a DMZ, however the problems continued

On further investigation, it would appear that the cable modem is alternating between requiring a straight RJ45 & a crossover I was having problems, so put in a crossover and it worked, then I got problems again and this morning removed the crossover and the router immediately reconnected. It appears to alternate every few weeks.

Anyone else seen anything as strange ?

Got no reply on those forums

I did however swap the main cable and this seems to be a bit more stable.

Thanks
