Connectivity Issues
- Thread starter Scuddman
- Start date
OK, when I said a few, I meant a few hours...
SMC Tech Support managed to totally screw the situation up. I am connected directly through my DSL modem now and I am waiting for them to send me a new firmware file. If I can't get this thing working in the next hour or so, I will email Grendel the TS Server files and hopefully he can get a backup server going.
Sorry for the downtime, I know it sucks to be without TS.

Looks like I am back up and running now. I am keeping my fingers crossed though. I would like to give a special shout out to SMC for outsourcing their tech support to India, and for Prakash for spending the evening on the phone with me constantly apologizing for the problem and stating how "despicably strange" it was that I could not get a connection out. Much love homie...

I hate to say it because as soon as I do, sure enough my connection will fail. It seems that the DNS was causing the issue. I permanently mapped the DNS server to the router IP address and the connection hasn't dropped yet. That also explains why things like TS and other applications that were already connected were fine, but establishing a new connection was out of the question. I'll keep my fingers crossed, but in the meantime, thanks to Grendel for hosting the TS Server.
