MR1100 turns off internet when my computer shuts down
I am experiencing the weirdest thing. When my computer is on, the Internet works great and everyone is happy in the house. When I have to reboot, or when my computer crashes (new computer and working out the kinks), the internet becomes unavailable.
I looked through the menu options and am not finding anything that makes sense to cause the outages.
I am using this modem in combination with a Linksys Home Router for serving up the Wireless Network in my house. The modem does not have the DHCP or router turned on, so that the Linksys can handle all of the traffic and routing. The battery is also remove, since this is in a house, so portability is not required. IP Passthrough is set to ON, as well as VPN Passthrough. Ethernet Standby is Disabled. Client Privacy is not checked.
Any ideas?

For a little more background, we upgraded from a LB1120 to this modem with no changes outside of the modem to allow the passthrough for the Router. Which makes it all the more confusing, since the LB1120 didn't have this "issue". It really seems like I have a setting somewhere that is making my computer act like a proxy server for all connections...but I can't find anything I might have done that would have caused this. :(
