Yes, there have been a couple of trouble-shooting instances where when it's churning and there is no network traffic, I've left everything alone and ONLY power cycled the modem and it all came back. Guess I don't see how it could be OS related under those circumstances.
I'll check inside the NIC, and then when the new modem comes will go from there.
