I solved my problem.  I should have posted here.  The static IP set for my TP LInk Switch by default was 192.168.0.1.  My Arris Cable modem has the static gateway IP set with the same address (and it cannot be changed).  Once I change the TP Link to 192.168.0.254 all the OC200 problems went a way and never returned.  The weird thing about the IP address conflict was that almost everything else on my network continued to run just fine.  Also, I think it would be helpful if the TP Link switch was set to a different address by default.
