Nano I didn't say it was boring, just that sometimes I'm in that mood where nothing seems to keep my attention.

Oh yeah. Lost internet connection for awhile so I'm still up cuz I was trying to figure out what happened. I tried reconnecting throught the web-client interface thing. You know where you can change the password for the router and set it's IP address. And the connections status read disabled. I told it to reconnect and after awhile I get a little pop up click the ok message that said PPPoE authentification failed. So I go grab the manual and scour the pages to see whats wrong. My sister walks out of her room to use the family computer in the dining room and I tell her it's busted (for lack of a better term), yet lo and behold she clicks the explorer icon and up pops yahoo's webpage. Talk about frustration. So, can anyone tell me what it's trying to tell me when it says "PPoE authentification fail"? Umm.. I'd like to know the answer that just happens to be a little less than obvious actually. Thanks.

Oh yeah, Gangrel, how do you know?
