That being the case, it may be time to shop for a new ISP. Not only is
their tech support clueless, even when dealing with OSes they officially
support, but they are know for giving people instructions that only make
their problems worse. They also seem to have this annoying lack of
communication internally. The end result being conflicting instructions
from various tech support reps.
That said, I finally convinced my wife (a Windows user) last week that her
internet connectivity problems were Qwest related. For one thing, Qwest
shares too many POPs with other networks (the local POP is shared by Juno
and Concentric). A change to Earthlink (on an old Mindspring POP) sent her
troubles away.
