Exactly why I have both DSL and Cable. Dial up sucks!

Yeah, cable wasn't available when I moved in but they've put it here now. I think I'll be hooking it up as a back up.
The phone guy came this AM (8:30 AM - woke me up, lol!) and after digging through the wires and dog hair under my desk, replaced the router and it's STILL not working. So I have an emergency call into the old boyfriend who owns the computer store and HOPEFULLY it's just the network card that needs to be replaced.
What's odd is that mine was connecting, but so slow that it timed out. The kid's wasn't connecting at all, so I thought it was my router and his network card. The hub seems to be working fine.
Now it looks like the router, and BOTH network cards. This was all done by a small power surge during the wind.
But a house burned to the ground on the mountain last night, so in perspective, my problems are minor. Ironically, we're dedicating the new firestation that's on the mountain today - it wasn't operating yet last night.
