I grab the cat5 from under the couch basically I am too lazy to get up and power cycle the modem.\u00a0 Yeah that didn&#8217;t really work so I get up and head to the &#8220;network closet&#8221;, pull the power, wait and plug her back in.\u00a0 Odd only the power light and the DS light come on.\u00a0 Back to test lappy.\u00a0 No luck, no internet.\u00a0 After screwing around with that I decide that I still have my phone for twitter and that I can just watch TV.\u00a0 WHAA?
