Cheers Rik.

I lost a lot of (but not all ) connectivity about 11:15 this morning for a few minutes, PPP was fine and nothing in the router log.

Could be when the router was being switched out, Bill.

Was it the same router that caused or was part cause to the outage of last week? I ask because I believe I read on here or over at Idnetters that whilst the outage fault was identified, it was not known why it had happened.

I had then mentioned on my Pings thread that I wondered if the ongoing latency problem was due to hardware still having an "intermittent" type fault and the "balancing" problem was symptomatic of that.

As far as I know, it was a different router.
