This is an aside to Adam's mail, but has proven useful to me. Some time back I had some persistent ADSL troubles, that eventually proved to be an unstable interface card in the BT box down the road. However .. during the troubleshooting phase one suggestion was to disconnect my router both from power and from the telephone line "for fifteen minutes". My initial reaction was "that's silly, the router will reset much quicker than that". The ISP's response was "yes it will, but it takes that long for our routers to knock down all of your route, then when you do reconnect it will set up the whole route again from scratch". I've periodically tried that since then if I have "odd" network problems that a local router reset doesn't fix. It isn't unusual for the fifteen minute trick to work. Gordon.
That sounds like it might be useful to know -- thanks. cheers, Chris -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------
