Periodically, and randomly, my USB Hub disconnects. I get error messages saying that one or another of my USB devices has been improperly disconnected, but none have been really disconnected. You can be working on the computer and hear the USB ZIP drive go offline and generate an error message. At the same time all the lghts on the USB hub go out and after a very short time they come back on. The supposedly disconnected device also goes back online. I have found no help on the Microsopt web site and Linksys (who makes the hub) doesn;t return calls. Any help would be appreciated.

Possibly a power issue. Sure it doesn't need another power supply or something. Like a073235 has just said, get the latest Service Pack. Steve Hewitt

Thanks for the suggestions. I have found that it is not a power problem, the power lights stay on, just the individual ports disconnect. I have installed the latest sevice pack and the problem continues. Usually when I come in first thing in the am I find 2-3 unsafe diosconnect messages. I click on them to close and just keep on truckin.
