Re: dead; need help reconnecting
They probably switched it from NAT to passthru with only 2 IPs. But that's not your problem to figure out. What you need to do is what the error is from: Check the following: 1) Computer (is one computer having an issue or could one computer be the CAUSE of the issue?) 2) Cabling - is there a bad Ethernet cable. Replace any custom cables with prefab. You'd be amazed how many problems come from bad cuts. 3) Networking layer - is there a bad NIC or switch? - you've had this problem before. 4) When you bring the network to one device - can you get online? Can someone ping your public IP address from somewhere else? 5) Is the Telco in the midst of an outage or did hardware fail? There is more to those 5 items but they are great ones to work from. 9 times out of 10 it's somewhere under #1. Also I suggest a proper UPS and the apcupsd daemon. I use it for all my UPS's in the field. All 10 of them.
