Troubleshooting Step 1

[liquordrums]

I'll preface this, for those that may not know already, by stating that I work at a local ISP in a department that provides tech support for our business VoIP customers. My group provides support for folks spending up to $4k a month on internet connectivity and voice services. I often walk people who have no clue about the tech they're using

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH YOU FLASHED YOUR ROUTER

PS I AM DRUNK

[liquordrums]

I flashed it, and it *loved* it.

OH OH OH

And the $4k thing is only if they just have connectivity. For whatever reason (and it's probably that VoIP racks up RMR more slowly per user than connectivity), the EAS cutoff for VoIP is $2k. Woot. We keep hoping that Mr. VK will add enough seats that he'll become EAS's problem.

This.
A lot.

GEE SOUNDS LIKE YOU DID AS GOOD A JOB FLASHING THE ROUTER AS YOU DID FLASHING ME ON MY OWN WEBCAM

I CAN STILL SEE THE CRACK

OH THE MIGHTY CRACK

[liquordrums]

Flashing is my business and business is good.

Hee! Reminds me of the Geico commercials from way back "we all do dumb things"!

But at least you're up and running again!

[liquordrums]

Heh.

It was a humbling moment of bruise-rendering facepalm...

Hahah, have you seen the British show, the IT Crowd? You'd die laughing. Especially for the pre-taped reel-to-reel-with-a-phone-cradle recording of his Irish voice asking (first and foremost): "have ye troyed turning et off and on again?"

:P

I've seen snippets. It's fantastic.

Apparently I need to get better about following my own advice. Imagine that.
