Service really has been dropping, as noted most recently in
this
entry from October. Today it dropped around 10:00am, and didn't come back
until
I got home. Power-cycling the modem didn't help, so I called
Comcast and obtained a reasonably
clueful and patient service rep. I dodged the question whether I have a
router, manically flipped cables and stuck the windows laptop from work back
in. The service did in fact come back once that machine started making
request. I have to try explict dhcp re-lease request from the Linux gateway
next time.
The rep recommended getting another broadband router -- replacing this
cheap 3com CM29220 I aquired via Techbargains.com with a
Motorola 5100 or 5120. Any opinions on
that?
Anyway, sincere apologies to anybody who may have tried to look for
Quantian or
this blog.
