Vnlr: Should I be aware of a person called "Paliodemonte"?
Pops in from time to time. Good guy / girl / creature? from all the nice interactions I've seen with him / her / sler / it ;)
Yup my modem is a rude one BUT! On the bright side going from wired to my router to wired directly to the PC is as simple as typing in the commands! So that's nice! Usually that's where "lazy" kicks in ;) Now if I feel like doing some downloading I can just pull the cable, plug it in, slap in a few commands and go. Much better than unplugging and waiting like before.
When I go back to the router, the modem does want to cycle before it will feed from modem to router to PC.
