I cleaned the contacts that connect to the bus with an eraser. If you are talking about the contacts in the female side of the plug, how did you clean them. Further information: when connected to the modem, I can see the pc-link light blink a couple of times. The modem is the older 3com cable modems not the one that looks like a shark fin.
