Plenty of people use the silver modems and it works for them. what are the chances of me getting 2 buggered ones?
It happened for ten minutes earlier, from 00:15 to 00:25-ish. I thought i'd better not phone the poor guy mentioned in this thread at that time.
I restarted it a few times, got browsing, and had to restart it again.
It had been sitting idle, with only firefox open. I was fiddling with the xbox. turned back to the pc, tried to open a webpage and it was dead.
