G'day,
Thanks for the description, I knew some of it, and this filled in the
blanks. The reason I am swapping the phone plug is more laziness,
that's the closest connection and I haven't bother to get all the
plugs, leads, etc and set it properly yet. (Just moved into our new
house, and also I don't want to leave leads running down the hallway
where my kids can pull on them.)
All the lights are doing what they are suppose to do. I have been
using my broadband connection with Windows to send all these emails.
So, its probably my setup then. I did have to add 10.1.1.1 to the
hosts list to be able to talk to the modem in the first place. I
couldn't connect just now until after I removed this. But my system
connects 1 in 5 turns. So I downloaded my emails and did reply to your
email. But before I could finish, my PC stopped communicating again. I
haven't been able to get it up and running again, but all I did was
deactived and reactive the ethO connection.
The connection on my lappy, running Windows, has stayed up and
running, so I'm retyping my reply on it.
Now to tackle a software or authentication problem...
Thanks again,
Muz
