1. Leave the room.
2. Return an hour later.
3. Notice the ADSL router upsdide down on the floor.
4. Blame the cat.
5. Nothing works.
6. Kick the cat.
7. Think.
8. Notice two of the port lights pulsating in synch with each other
9. Call the Wife.
10. Ask if she plugged anything in.
11. Listen to the explanation of a cable that she tripped over and just "plugged back in". A cable note, that was only plugged in at one end.
12. Reverse the operation of numbers 6 and 9 above.
13. Remove the cable from port 4. Port 2 light goes out and the others work just fine, thank you very much.
14. Tell the whole world about it.
I can understand kicking the wife, but...
You called the cat? I know kids these days all seem to have mobiles but isn't this a step too far?
I can just imagine some of the text messages: "Goin out @ 5am 4 sum yowlin? k bye TIX"
