but what everyone fails to realise is that technologically ireland is still in the 1960s (not just you, jakg, but it seems to be everyone). Obviously cable has to be somewhere, just to link to the masts. i have wireless broadband, but the mast has a cable going to a switching station. Ireland's countryside is so big that wireless seems to be the only method to ensure that people within a 20 mile city radius have broadband. The range grows by about 3 miles a year, but cable is still only used in the city centre. From about a mile from the city centre, its wireless only.
Secondly the advice i gave was based on my knowledge of broadband/routers/lfs, which is based on my connection and setup. This setup is normal for irish people in the countryside, and it works for me, so this is the advice i gave. When I had trouble with my LFS connection, I was able to determine that the router was at fault by putting the ethernet from the modem straight into the pc. I apologise if I came across as saying something else, but I am trying (well, was) to help takumi_lfs with his server. But, you'll notice that it was indeed jakg who made the first hypocritical comment:
"I tried plugging the lead straight into my PC but it won't work, help me o' techno lord!"
I was the one who retaliated, but I did not start!
