Fanabla, Part 2: once again, the PC isn't connecting when we try to go online. Neither Mark nor I could get it to work last night.

This is the second time it's balked at connecting to the DSL after a restart. Last time, it suddenly succeeded in connecting, for no apparent reason, the morning after the restart. I'm hoping for a repeat of that good fortune today, because Mark needs to be online this evening for a Fantasy Hockey League draft.

Mark will contact tech support today. I asked him to place the call, since the account is in his name. We'll see what advice they have to offer.

This is all the aftermath of that virus. We never had this problem prior to the reformat. Bleeping virus writers, I hope their computers vaporize.
