[Sderby] Cable broadband

[Ian Spratt]

I got bored today, so I put a spare NIC in my windows box, and set about
trying to connect again. after a few false starts and me remembering why I
had this NIC 'spare' I got it working. the problem is, the socket on the
network card is bent. don't ask me how, but cables don't clip in anymore.

oh well, nothing a spot of gaffa tape cant fix.

when I get round to building my firewall, the card going in will be the same
as the card the modem is connected to now, so the mac address will be the
same. problem solved.


here's to high speed net access. woo.
