New Modem

Well after a being so excited about getting my ADSL connection, my ADSL modem decided to crap out. Every so often it would just lock up hard – all the lights off except the power light – and stay like that even when power cycled. So yesterday I ordered a Billion 7100S which arrived today. It seems to be working after a slight bit of worry that it wasn’t getting an IP (turned out I’d turned the DHCP client off instead of the DHCP server). So now I’m happily *and* reliably connected to the interweb thingy again. Yay for that.
