Internet crisis - resolved

Yesterday after coming home from an outing with 3 good friends, Chan, Jerm and Heng, I found out that my internet had been crashed. It all started out somewhat innocently the previous night.

My dad was working on the modem line which was cut off - again - due to overheating of the line. Our line is sensitive when internet is being used, fax is being used, and someone is on the phone using the same line. The result is the wire will be overheated and burnt out. But fortunately it was easy to repair and my dad was doing the repairing.

Usually before he starts to repair, I would have to turn off the modem. But I turned off the modem when I found out he was doing the repairing. And my dad did the repairing late at night. I figured everything was ok even though I turned it off during the repairing and so I went off to sleep. The next day, it never occurred to me that I had to turn on the modem back.

So when I came home after the outing, I found the modem turned on but the DSL light blinking. The problem is that there is no connection. So being the analyst I am, I called streamyx alot of times even in the early hours of the morning and slowly cancelled out one by one the sources of the problem.

Amongst my other efforts were filing two reports with streamyx, checking connections with other laptops, finding the password of streamyx which we had lost, finding for the router password and going to Subang Parade to consult professional help.

But in the end, it was God who saved the day. I came home from Subang Parade today to find that my internet was working. All of a sudden. Things usually don't turn out the way you expect them to be. Sometimes we just have to diligently seek what we want and let God do the rest. We can be sure He is with us working too. So the internet problem is solved. A little bit more problems and I can be a technician myself already.
