You have to realize really how far the Residential Tech Support (is your computer on?) is from Network Operations in terms of communications. Most NO would ever probably tell Tech Support is "Just tell the customer a router is down or a fiber cut or something." - James -----Original Message----- From: owner-nanog@merit.edu [mailto:owner-nanog@merit.edu] On Behalf Of Simon Higgs Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2001 1:26 AM To: nanog@merit.edu Subject: Re: AT&T Broadband At 09:48 PM 12/18/01 -0800, you wrote:

Yes, this is correct.
Sounds like an issue for the e-mail or telephone support people at your provider, then. It's amazing what you can find out by actually picking up a telephone these days.
Call AT&T Broadband's tier one support for help ("er... you need to check the web site, have you pushed the on button on your computer, er... sir?")? You're kidding, right? After escalating to their tier three, they still couldn't handle a simple call to fix the DNS on the netblock I was on. I was stupid enough to think they could. Never again.
