PBW server is back up.

Yes!

I can get to it now! Thanks

Anyone else get the feeling Geo lives in an area were there is one and only one provider of high speed net access? I'll bet with a bit of healthy competition the connection could be moved just a wee bit faster.

And what have we learned from this? Never, NEVER, believe ANYTHING the phone company tells you about its DSL service. NEVER

Actually there are several options for highspeed service in my area. Unfotunatly the one I have is the only one that I could find that had the combinatiion of features I needed for PBW, good upload speed, fixed IP, permission to run a web server 24x7, a low enough monthly cost to make it possible to support via voluntary donations. If all I wanted was highspeed access for my own personal use I could take my pick of several decent choices in the area.

What I learned is if you are moving your DSL, get a new phone number at the new location. I thought I was doing the right thing keeping the old number. It turns out if I had gotten a new number they could have turned on the one without turning off the other and the down time would have been shorter. Unfotunatly by the time I asked the right questions It was too late to do that because I had to have the server out of the old place anyway by a certain date.

Oh, I think anyone could have made that mistake...who's to know about those sort of things unless you've gone through it before, Geo.

Any comment I made was directed toward all the readers about when representatives of the phone company tell you something, official or unofficial. THAT'S when you need to cock an eyebrow... .
