Cy,
I don't remember seeing which OS you are using so I've hesitated to answer.
The behavior you are talking about is common with windows 98 and maybe ME.
Google search "disable fast shutdown" and follow the instructions on how to
do it. You also want to make sure that your power management is set to
shutdown when you press you power button. For that you right click a space
on your desktop, click properties, click screensaver, click settings, click
advanced, click when I press the power button on my computer shutdown.

It sounds like maybe your being logged off?
If Adelphia has seen this problem before why couldn't he help you? Maybe
their money troubles are getting in the way of good help:~ )
I am sorry to keep asking questions but I am trying to figure this out &
haven't seen it before. What is you motherboard? Can you recycle or restart
the modem? Is there a light on the modem to signal status? Is there a change
in any of these lights when you do this? Have you tried turning off the
modem before shutting down?
Man, questions, questions!
