Hey Mez, I was not really thinkin when I sent that, but someone else posted to you about using a serial port and a laptop.... that is what I would do.... call your host and give em some heat I mean we are literally talkin 5 minutes of work if they do a direct connect through the serial port with a null modem cable. all they need is your passwords. They will spend more time walkin to your box than actually doing the work.
I am a small reseller for another company and I have an extra raq4i if these people don't help you let me know and I will set you up with a good box and great 24/7 support. My provider would fix this for you in mere minutes probably for free. not advertising just lettin you know I have an extra box I am moving off of as I go to a larger server...
