not happening on teesside yet

, and i have rebooted

beardsley · 28-07-2004, 13:10

I am sitting at work, and have not been able to ping my machine at home all morning. It is set to mail me if the IP address changes, so the most likely explanation seemed to be that the server had crashed.

However, having read this thread, I am starting to suspect that I have been upgraded, and either the modem did not reboot correctly, or my router got upset.

This is in Fleet on the Hampshire/Surrey border. Can anyone confirm if this area has been upgraded?

Earlier posts state that the IP address didn't/won't change.

I am quite prepared to beleive that the IP address has/will not change. I was just wondering if the Fleet area had just been upgraded. It so, it would at least be a coincidence.

Perhaps your machine at home has crashed?

Nothing here in Cambridge yet either.

We just got a letter this morning about the upgrades, so I can see Tamworth's isn't going to be long away.

Yep, got the letter this morning confirming the update in August. Looks like my area is getting it soon then, no one else I know with NTL broadband has had a letter about this yet.

The good news: My machine at home is back on line. Looging at the modem logs, the cable network went down at 23:57 last night.
The bad news: Dosdiag still reports that I am on a 1 meg connection, so presumably the upgrade is not the reason for the outage.
