14.5 hour outage today
The Cellar was unavailable from 10:50 pm EST to about 1:15 pm EST today.
The problem was that the internet provider's router was unable to work with the switch that I drove down there last week, replacing the identical switch that their router was unable to work with. Apparently their support does not operate after-hours. The replacement of the replacement switch is from a different vendor, and so it is hoped that this is the last of our switch-router interoperability woes. It is certainly the last time I have to prove that if there is a problem it is not on my end. The next outage, if there is one, is all on them and will not require me to drive hours and hours to solve. |

I'm actually hoping that it was the switch so that this fixes it permanently. The first switch was an older Linksys; the second was the *hub* version of the older Linksys; the new one is a Netgear "Prosafe" which was more expensive - but hopefully, is "pro" quality as opposed to "consumer grade".
(Protip: very few computing items actually considered "pro" or "enterprise" grade are sold in stores.) It's also a giggety-bit switch even though none of the ports it connects to are giggety-bit. |

At risk of geeking everybody out, what exactly was this router/switch incompatibility? That sounds unlikely.... if you've got something like non-matching netmasks, or two different VLANs, sure. But that's a configuration/software error not an "incompatibility."

They said that their auto-detect was only connecting to my switch/hub at 10mb+half-duplex, which was then accumulating collisions until the router port would shut down.
