Only using 1 laptop at moment - connected directly to cable modem using ethernet cable.
I wanted to take my router out of the equation (I guessed Tech Support would tell me to anyway) Even tried several different ethernet cables just in case one was dodgy - no difference.

Interestingly the last Tech guy I spoke to said he couldn't ping my laptops IP address - This was even after I removed my firewall. Yet he was able to remotely power-cycle the modem one time.

If it is something on my Laptop I just don't know what it is :-)
Maybe its my router as well as my laptops....

Cheers whydoi....
