ok here's a weird one, Sunday everything was working fine with no problems! come Monday after booting up I found my usb keyboard seems to have died after replacing it with a spare one I thought nothing of it but after an hr or so I found that the left hand light on the speedtouch modem was flashing between red and green! in the meantime I lost all ability to surf, the only way around it was to reboot my system! about 2hrs later it did the same thing again!! it has since done the same yet again today (tuesday!) I'm wondering if the usb port which I had both the keyboard and modem plugged into has somehow damaged the modem? I've tried switching ports but to no avail, I've also noticed my isp is having service problems and after ringing them got only the standard answers as in unplug anything else or reinstall driver! anyone got any ideas what this problem is? it's driving me nuts now!
