MsWrite, the problem is not with AT&T. Too bad you are getting faulty advice like that. I've had their DSL service for years and it's been VERY dependable. But the last few weeks, I've been losing my connection a lot. Multiple times a day. And my power cord is pretty much always plugged in. I was thinking it was either the 2Wire router or my MacBook's wireless card. Guess not, now that's I've discovered that others are having the same problem, and it seems to be software related, which is actually something of a relief. I just got an Apple Extreme Base Station because I wanted easy wireless printing and hard drive sharing, plus, I was hoping it might solve the connection problems. But no, it didn't. I was still losing my connection earlier today, but things have been fine for several hours now, so maybe it might be a help, but it's not a cure.
