 My modem arrived this morning at some ungodly hour of the morning when I was still asleep. Luckily my neighbour two doors up was just coming back from night shift and she took it in. I collected it at 9:00am and had it swapped over and the disc run by 9:15. Unfortunately it failed and an hour later after trying every thing the help line suggested it still wouldn't work. I was Auntie sitting today, A needed someone to look after her mother so she could go and meet an old friend for lunch and I volunteered so They agreed to phone me back aft 6:00 tonight. It took another half hour but I am back on line. The modem didn't so much explode as expire silently while I was gaming on FB. It was only when I change sites, or tried to, that I realised something was wrong. I do not know why but the thing that got me working again was changing the power lead. Since the two Modems were the same I just plugged the old ones into the new modem. While I was sitting watching Auntie N sleep it came to me that that might be the problem and as soon as I got home I changed the telephone and Ethernet connections to new ones but since the power light was merrily burning green I didn't bother with that. It was only after we had tried every thing again that the young woman on the other end of the phone asked if I had changed the connections. Having said yes to two of them but no to the power line she said please change the power line so I did and there I was on line again.
Any how I have managed to read all my mail and answer a few of them. This is intended to answer all of you that sent me sympathy  and you should be seeing the icon I thought you would be seeing on my last post, the mix up was because I tought I had this icon on both DW and lj .  Now I do.
