My DSL is down, and has been for the last hour. Wee fun.

dsl sux lol!1!!eleven

So I'll ask you here, instead: what would it take to catch a ride from SFO to your place and crash for a few days? I'm thinking of flying in on the evening of Thursday, Apr 28th so I can have Friday for teh recon and sorting out of teh rental. z0r.

Send me your itinerary, I'll ensure it happens one way or another.

Sweetness.

I will, at some unspecified point in the future, procure alcoholic beverages in gratitude.

Thanks for the notice. :)

(I always like to find out it's not just me, or the company Getting On To Me.)

[esmerel.livejournal.com]

Traceroute. :)

[fenodoree.livejournal.com]

Doesn't always work. For example, ping and traceroute is *blocked* at work. Whee! Might be the same for the above.

Well sure, but for tersa, I know it would work, because she sits 10 feet from me, and that's how I knew what was wrong :)

Well, that explains why I can't get them to respond to my problem with my DSL router. (It died on Friday. They sent me a new one, but it appears to be misconfigured. They're not responding to mail. Evidently they're busy.)

I'm beginning to wish I'd gone with Speakeasy.

DOH. It shouldn't be too hard to reconfigure the router. Is it the crappy ZyXel?

This is the first time meer has had a major outage in quite sometime. And from teh last email, neither SBC or MCI wants to admit to being at fault on the DS3 downtime. Which sounds pretty normal to me.

It's the ZoomADSL Modem/Router. They replaced a 5554 with (I think; it's not in front of me) a 5554A. All well and good (though I liked that the 5554 had an actual unix shell on it if you telnet'ed in). The problem is the ADSL link is set correctly (getting link), but I *think* Meer uses PPPoE (I vaguely recall it doing so) and the modem came set to use 1483 Routed IP LLC. Net result is that ADSL is showing good link, but routing and authentication aren't up. I'd copy the info off my old router, but, you know, broken.

[merlinofchaos]

Hmm. My system doesn't use PPPoE, but I may have a different setup than you; but I think I'm using the 1483 setup. Um, G.Dmt is in my memory, but it's been awhile since I've had to muck with it now.
