Evening.

First of all I hate the internet.

Secondly - I have tonight attempted to fit my new rock sliders that i
got from Brookwells the other day.

All went well, but i think there is something not quite right.

The sliders fit into the round chassis bar at the back, and have a
bracket on the front that fits on to the bolt through the
chassis/bulkhead. (Same one that the steps used.)

However, it is about an inch shy of the actual chassis, so i cant do it
up as tight as i'd like to..

I am currently trying to upload a pic or 3, but due to the first point,
im having trouble..

Help!

PS. Im about to go outside and run this bastard Netgear router over.

Why can i send mail, but not actually browse the web properly..

COCK!

I guess you've already tried powering it down and up again, that usually
works for me when my linksys throws a wobbley.

Regards the rocksliders try a query on www.mud-club.com if you have no joy
here, lotta gadget peeps on there.

Yeah, Re-set it, firmware update, still no joy. It can browse the net
kinda, but it will come up with page not displayed all the time... Hit
refresh about 10000 times and the page will load...

Think its bolloxed... :(

it must be catching. the modemrouter here threw a wobbler yesterday. tried
soft-reset, tried switch off, no dice - ethernet part running OK, ADSL dead
as a dodo.

last resort, found the instructions for "reset to factory spec", as by now
it wouldn't let me log onto it. Did that, it powered back up, relinked to
the ADSL and reconnected the PPP - eh? how'd it do that?

somehow, the "reset to factory spec" hadn't wiped the user info, just
restored it to working.
