Just for you Nick:
Static IP address (10.1.1.5), beneath working email & web services
(but pop, browsing, updates, etc, were all out). Got it?
...so your local network and pc was working, but your internet access
was not? You could start your mail and web clients, but not retrieve any
new data?
10.x.x.x is a 'local' IP address ( class A as was 0. It never gets
published on the internet. That way, anyone can use this range for their
home/corporate networks without having to use up published addresses.
nor via DHCP (that's right, it looked like a DNS failure).
now something really is confused!
Definitely DNS was down, as the two xtra-dns addresses were in place

abnormal, to say the least.
If the status light is flashing abnormally, then you do *not* have
internet connectivity via adsl. None. At all.
