Hmmm….it would appear that something had genuinely fried in my old router, asI am now on a replacement “Phillips” off the shelf jobby, and everything is back to normal.  Wierd how all the core functions of my old router remained ok?  But then again it was a Belkin…maybe that should be enough for me…ya know; limited shelf life and all?

I’m just glad my network is repaired and the new router supports ADSL2+ as well, which is just as well since I have registered an interested in Tiscali’s latest upto 8 Meg service…it has certainly been an interesting few days, mum had her operation on Thursday, things went well, and she will be home either today or tomorrow.
