Stellenbosch Disconnect issues?

[Alpha_Geek]

Ahoy,

I've been having issues the last couple of days with internet disconnecting - well, router synchs fine, connection just dies. Now it seems my connection is totally gone - No matter which account I use (WebAfrica or Telkom)....

Basically my router (Netgear) synchs fine, but gets stuck on the "Initialize LCP" stage.... Webafrica mentioned that its probably the exchange (couldn't get Telkom on the line, after waiting more than 40 mins I gave up).... I'm really close to the exchange (basically 20m outside my window)... Does "Initialize LCP" mean its not even getting to the authentication stage for user/pass? Not sure what msg Netgear router normally gives if the user/pass is simply incorrect...

So, if anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.

ARg.
:/

Hey Alpha Geek

Would definitely get ahold of Telkom, take the day off work and get a nice comfy chair

Sounds like you have a faulty line. Router and ISP are not the problem.

If it was just one account you tried then it would be authentication.
It is impossible for it to be an ISP related issue.

Peace
