That reminds me...

Years ago I had the battle of all battles with my cable co.
I complained that somehow there servers where failing after having some
much throughput go thru the modem. I made them replace the modem, the
line outside. The checked a bunch of there equipment.

It stopped for a period after they replaced the modem a second time. It
later can back in a few months. I decided to strip down the machine, and
low and behold a capacitor had blown it's top and had leaked on the PC
board.of my external NIC. I guess it would build a charge over time and
shut the card down. I replaced that card and have never had any other
issues of anything similar.
