They probably switched it from NAT to passthru with only 2 IPs. But that's not your problem to figure out. What you need to do is what the error is from: Check the following: 1) Computer (is one computer having an issue or could one computer be = the CAUSE of the issue?) 2) Cabling - is there a bad Ethernet cable. Replace any custom cables = with prefab. You'd be amazed how many problems come from bad cuts. 3) Networking layer - is there a bad NIC or switch? - you've had this = problem before. 4) When you bring the network to one device - can you get online? Can = someone ping your public IP address from somewhere else? 5) Is the Telco in the midst of an outage or did hardware fail? There is more to those 5 items but they are great ones to work from. 9 times out of 10 it's somewhere under #1. Also I suggest a proper UPS and the apcupsd daemon. I use it for all my = UPS's in the field. All 10 of them.
