Ive never heard of flashing a modem before. A router you can.
Who is your ISP provider? They can get you a new modem.
Your provider can flash the modem for you too through the cable line.

thanks for the info; i do i flash the router? it's a linksys wireless g router
There maybe a small button on the back of the modem you need a paperclip to push and hold for 15 secs to restore factory settings, but that would not be considered flashing.
