GAH; plus: SO TIRED
Nov. 19th, 2006 02:50 amI'm getting tired of making posts that are just requests for information and stuff.
Tom-sub-Sporkington, you are the best person I can think of to answer this question, but anyone else can answer too. My family got their DSL kit from Verizon, and their service thingy is turned on, and I was on the phone with my brother walking him through stuff. We got the filter thing put on the phone so it splits the one jack into two, one for phone and one for modem, and then the modem was powered up and everything, and then he plugged the modem's phone cord into the jack and... the phone cut out. And that happens every time. If the modem's got signal, the phone gets none. They are understandably not happy about this, and I need to know basically the likelihood that it's a bum filter that can be replaced at Radio Shack, as opposed to the likelihood that it's the wiring in their 60-Years-Old-And-In-The-West-Virginia-Boonies house. Or the likelihood that it's anything else. Preferably easily fixed. But I'm kind of hoping it's the filter. After all, back when we got Verizon DSL in the trailer in California, they sent us a bum network cable.
There is stuff about today and about![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nidoking being pretty awesome about helping us move, but I am too busy being exhausted and worried about my family's computer woes to type it all out now.
