Yeah, helpdesks can be really funny. A few weeks ago a friend of me messed up his internet/voip connection, he messed up some settings in his modem. So I reset the modem to defaults, and internet worked again, but voip didn't, I needed a proxy server, SIP ect. He's got a pretty bad ISP, got it from some door to door salesman (pretty stupid if you ask me...) No information what-so-ever on the site, so I phoned the helpdesk, got a nice girl to, and asked for the information I needed. Five minutes later she got back to me and told me some number, I asked what it was and she replied: "I have no idea, but this is what I'm seeing on my screen right now" Just great :/ On 16/11/06, Mario Reif <mario.reif@gamed.com> wrote: > Two years ago i had a similar situation with the HP support :-) > > My DDS-DAT Drive was broken and i called the HP support.
