Ahh interesting. The tech who replaced the box said he had to replace it with a 4000 series cuz thats all he had. I'll bear that in mind when I call up, maybe I can request/order a 2000 box like my old one, ta
Do you know what prob it has with 1 meg? The speed is fine, just the dns lookup, and connection to servers.

The first two connections fail, then its fine. It affects Web, IRC, FTP and now Email. When it eventually connects, its fine. Dunno if this is to do with the STB failing problem, it started soon after though. Its basically, seems to be a DNS related prob. Come to think of it, would all those protocols use the same dns lookup method? Any suggestions/advice?
