Cable modem interference on 6 meters.

I was able to pin this down by pulling the RJ-45 cable from the modem to
the PC. I then went to the Motorola website and read the SB4100 modem
manual.


<bold>Equipment Check:

One 10/100Base-T shielded

Ethernet cable*


*Supplied by service provider

Turns out that Time Warner Cable of Corning NY <bold>does NOT stock
</bold>any shielded

RJ45 cables. This probably means there are thousands of these modems out
there violating Part 15 - with unshielded cables.
