I can't access the internet any more apart from pings and traceroutes. So far this is what I've done:

- Rebooted everything, my router, the modem and my PC
- Removed the router and connected my PC directly to the modem
- Tired different network cables between the modem and my PC
- Used a different network port on my PC

I can see the lights flashing on my NIC on the PC but on the modem the "ETH" light hardly ever flashes if at all. I also called technical support and they couldn't ping the modem so I have an engineer booked this comin monday.

Does this sound like a problem with the modem to you? I wantt o make sure cos a) I don't want to waste the engineer's time and b) if I can get it working my end thats quicker than waiting until monday.

I'm going to try another PC on the connection tonight and see if anything changes. This seemed to start on Tuesday at the same time ntl seemed to be doing some nationwide upgrades. I'm in Leicester, if that helps.

-Thanks
