G'day
Don't know if this helps, but I have managed to disable the ADSL
connection to my windows machine by installing a firewall. Enable it
and I can't connect to the web, even though firefox is an allowed
program. When I disable it, everything is working again.
More head scratching...

Quoting Murray <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
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
