Yep... Since July 4th I have been using my neighbors internet connection at night. It turns out that when lightning struck around the corner from me something fried our router, and the ethernet connection from the ISP input to the house to the computer. OUCH! Dang acts of God.It took me three days to figure out that the connection I was using was not mine, but by neighbors... Apparently he can not figure out how to secure his, and our computers here in the house linked to him by default since ours was down.
Once I figured out that we were on his connection, and not ours, I only felt comfortable using the connection to send e-mails and then angry e-mails to the ISP. You see I immediately replaced the router... then I called and e-mailed my ISP when that did not work. Finally yesterday I got a real person... They scheduled a service call and we found the fried connections. Interesting... the homebuilder did not protect us supply side of the house with a surge protector, and there is nothing we can do about line size surges... Should be a fun year...
I should be back to a couple of posts a week now that we have our own connection back...
Prayers...
