Thanks Brian for relaying the message for me. At the moment I see I have link so here's hoping this will make it. They're doing some pretty heavy renovations in the center of my town and while doing so my line was cut. This also happened a few weeks ago. The combo voip/data router took a bit of a spike when they reconnected the cable and did it some harm. It's an old Thomson. This second cut/repair sent another spike and harmed it even worse. I don't have access into it, only the provider does but the way it's acting is as if it's NAT isn't properly flushing. I did get a replacement which is also an upgrade and hope to put it online over the weekend pending no issues. My guess is that my IP will change due to the new mac address. Those who have a static encap route programmed in will need to change this, I'll post the new IP in here so you can make the change, or delete it and let rip handle the rest. Hopefully the transition will go smoothly - but this is networking here... -- 73 de Brian Rogers - N1URO email: <n1uro(a)n1uro.ampr.org> Web: http://www.n1uro.net/ Ampr1: http://n1uro.ampr.org/ Ampr2: http://nos.n1uro.ampr.org Linux Amateur Radio Services axMail-Fax & URONode AmprNet coordinator for: Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
