Huh? That's unusual. Are they both plugged into the same surge protector? If so, try separating where they are plugged in. I've never heard of that one before. However, my cable modem does strange things some times too. Like, if I do have a power surge, all the modem lights go off and my computer reboots. (they're both on a surge protector) Try to figure that one out!

Try to see the control panel, power management and hibernation see whether the hiberation mode is set. Also see the Bios CMOS setup for power management. IThe computer could be set so that it is in a hiberation mode when a certain external hardware is turned on or off. also check the RS232 cable of the modem see whether it is incorrectly wired.
