    Try a Hard reset by pressing the Reset button and then power the unit back on.

    I had a similar problem only I disabled the USB connection, because I used the ethernet connection for my VOIP. All I had to do was connect my PC to the HomePortal using an Ethernet Cable (my other working connection) and from there I was able to connect to the gateway.2wire.net page. So by using the USB cable that came with your HomePortal you should be able to fix your connection. I have a HomePortal 1000 HG so that might mean you do not have the ability to connect using a USB, but I am simply trying to help and that's what worked for me. Good Luck.

    It should do the trick if you have the ability to connect using USB.
