Because someone downstairs who woke me up at 7.30am this morning to complain he cannot get on his AOL account (through the cable) turned off the cable transceiver (which is in the same room as him). aaaahhh!!! This is the third time and everytime I told him why he SHOULDN'T unplug the transceiver for ten seconds and all three times the IP changed. I said they were doing works on cable network and if the ready light goes out CLEARLY it means, it is NOT ready. He ignored me and unplugged the transceiver. I said "No, don't do that, it'll reset the IP address." Sometimes I even had to set the router manually. When I ask him he has no reason as to why he pays around $30 dollars a month on AOL just to look at Email with adverts by the side. I just use it sometimes for the free dialup.
Now my IP address has changed and it'll take at least 24 hours before people can use the names to join. As for the type and quantity of wiring I am going to ask how much it would cost to move that transceiver in the same room as the router. It wouldn't have been so bad if it wasn't the weekend.
