My cable modem (originally AT&T, now transitioning to Comcast, is on a Netgear router which handles the DHCP stuff, so I never see the IP address. I could query the router from a browser, but my curiosity only extends so far. In the 3 years I've been online, I've never actually experienced an outage, except that they would occasionally/rarely take down the mail server for 15 minutes at the time. Even after a local 4-5 hour power outage, the modem resynched without needing to be touched. Talk about a worry free operation! I have the modem and router on top of my computer cabinet back against a wall, so I never even see the blinking lights! My only complaint is that Comcast decided to ding everybody $10 unless you subscribe to TV cable. <groan> Thinking again, actually I had a couple of days outage way back when AT&T had to scramble to maintain service when @HOME dropped out from under them. Forced switching an ISP provider network with little advance notice is a tough act for any vendor to pull off. -- Collins Richey - Denver Area gentoo stable - ext3 _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
