Are there any other reasons you'd get the "PAT" message? I tried unscrewing the coax cable, and screwing it back in, but to no avail.

I even tried connecting the PACE box to the coax my cable modem is connected to (FYI: the cable modem operates properly, so I assume this coax is fine) but I still get the "PAT" message when rebooting the PACE box.

Is there anything else I can check before getting the NTL engineers in?

Many thx in advance!
