Sigh, my Internet access bit the big one last Friday – was out for 3 days before calling Wild Blue to get the situation corrected – they apparently could not care less about assisting one of their long time customers and basically told my wife to go somewhere else to help troubleshoot the problem.  They wouldn’t even do a ping back to see if it was hardware related or an issue on their side – probably will post the details when my NEW provider is up and running next Tuesday.  Until then, don’t panic, I’ll be back to posting as soon as the connectivity to the Inet is restored.
