The whole thing with our internet connection not working was very wierd. We have a wireless printer/scanner/fax, which was plugged into the phone line along with the DSL filter and the ADSL modem. Even having replaced our old modem (the old one was getting very hot), we were still having problems. The connection wasn't there yesterday morning, or yesterday evening when Hubby turned up.
He tried all sorts of things, and eventually unplugged the printer's fax cable from the jumble. Suddenly the connection was back up again. Very Strange. Why would the fax being connected interfere with the ADSL connection???
Well, let's hope that this is the end of it. To be honest, I don't think we've ever used the fax capability anyway, so it's no great loss not to have it plugged in. Fingers well and truly crossed that this is the end of a very frustrating few months of patchy net access.
