[vicsireland] Re: no internet access, update - success!

Hello,
As Flor said, you might want to revert to your ethernet connection
rather than using USB as it's more reliable and faster and if
something does happen, it's generally easier to troubleshoot.
Glad your back up and running.

Hi Eamon,  I suffer fromstrange and irrational problems from members of our

wireless routers are often implicated, that is routers inside the house as

thinking of starting a new religion or may be a witch hunt to solve these
problems.   The threat of a bucket of water or burning at the stake might
solve the connectivity problems. in general.   It may be on a more rational
note that your cable is either developing a minute crack from being in a
particular position for a long time, or had just pulled slightly, not enough
to be obvious.

But I favour the witchcraft explanation !

  Hi Flor, Darragh and Paul.

  Many thanks for your suggestions.

  Paul:  Your idea of temporarily removing  the USB cable between the router
and pc worked, though I have no idea why. connections were secure, and the
cable had been undisturbed for over a year.    I've come up with the
following  theories, though:

  1        electrons in the cable got a shock and took flight, as the cable
was removed.  this, of course, defys the laws of physics, as no voltage
could be applied to         the cable once removed.  It's what Fr. Jack
might call "an ecumenical matter," or others  a miracle!

  2)        The modem and pc were talking about girrels, drink, or both.

  3)        The modem and pc were actually drinking.

  4)        A packet hit a pocket.

  5)        My pocket saved a packet, by not having to call BT tech support.

  Darragh:  there was no need to explore my IP settings, but it was
reassuring  to know what to do, if Paul's suggestion didn't work.

  Many thanks and hi-dee-hi, from a very happy camper.
