When you reboot the Clear Modem, try to connect right away and let me know what happens. Goto "start" then "run" and type cmd. Open the dos command box, and see if you can ping ebay.com. For this type "ping ebay.com" without the quotes and see if you can hit the server. May be Clear is using Comcasts network for this area. As all networks share networks and pay each other for the time they use. Just like cellular phone systems when roaming.
