Well, that DSL upgrade could have been faster.

Unfortunately, I was down all day. And that means my sister’s knitting blog was down all day.

However, it wasn’t Qwest’s fault. In fact, it looks like Qwest did their magic in the middle of the night (my old connection died at about 12:11AM). I tried changing out the DSL modem at 7:30AM and everything seemed to be working fine. However, the instructions I got from my ISP were a bit off, and my ISP also wanted me to change my system to use DHCP. I had to wait until I got home to get things working. My friend altered some things on my computer to get things going.

Well, now things are sorta back working. My modem says:

Downstream Data Rate: 1536 Kbps
Upstream Data Rate: 960 Kbps

My resolv.conf is still being overwritten, but at least I’m back and so is my sister’s blog.
