PC Light On Cable Modem Box Blinks Off and On & Send Data Light is Not On
Hi Everyone:
Before I begin, I want to take a brief moment and explain my setup. First, I have a simply two pc LAN connection. The first pc in closest to the router is connected to the router via RJ 45 cabling and the router itselt is connected via cabling to the cable modem box. This pc is working great online and not experiencing any connectivity issues. However, the wireless pc which has a wireless USB adabpter to receive broadcasted IP information is having problems. After visually inspecting the cable modem box provided by Comcast, I noticed the PC light blinks on and off in a pulsating fashion and the Send light for Data is not on but the Receive light is on. All other lights are on.
Due to the strange network related problems I am having with the wireless pc, I just want to make sure there are not any issues surrounding the Cable Modem box. Since the first pc connected to the router which is connected to the cable modem box has no internet connectivity issues, I must assume the cable modem box is working fine. But, I am not entirely sure.
Any thoughts on this will be appreciated.
Thank you
George

Thanks so much for the quick replies. I certainly gained much more insights after reviewing each response. Everything is working fine with the cable modem box. Apparently, the observations made does not signify any dysfunctioning of the cable modem box at this time.
On a side note, I found the wireless adapter to work fine. I tried it out on a friend's pc which was brought over today and it worked greatly. Therefore, I must conclude there is a problem with software or drivers of the pc which the wireless was originally connected.
Thanks again for the help.
