I had a similar problem with another provider. accept it was more difficult getting it back up. After sever service calls, one of the techs showed me a meter reading. I forget if it was 15 or 25 Db, but he said it should be 0. he put an attenuator on it and i never had another problem at that location. I don't know how you could check or attenuate the cable signal yourself, but if you have an idea it may be worth a try. // George -- George Georgalis, systems architect, administrator <IXOYE>< http://galis.org/ cell:646-331-2027 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
