Bad Cables?
I'm still experiencing issues with my Internet Connection, and I'm still blaming my ISP. Especially since I went out and bought a
new router and everything. Now I have internet access, but it's intermittent and flaky. It's so flaky, in fact, that anytime I've needed to ssh into this site's server or check in to CVS at SourceForge, I've had to dial-up. However, an ingenious idea hit me this morning. Since the original problem was a bad cable between my ISP's
bridge and my router, maybe more cables could be bad. So I stuck one of my wireless cards in my box, and Voila! I'm surfing like the wind again. I guess I'll have to stop at a store and see if they have an "ethernet cable tester".
I'm off to work. I'll be broadcasting my presentation (via WebEx) from there today since I didn't trust this connection up until now.
