In the midst of browsing around last night, I lost my connection, and nothing I could do had much of an effect. My DSL modem appeared to be working, but my machine insisted that there was no Internet to be found.<\/p>\n<p>I called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.speakeasy.net\/\" title=\"Speakeasy Internet\">Speakeasy<\/a> and opened a service ticket with them. They couldn&#8217;t figure out what the situation was, so they passed it on to Covad (the next company upstream).<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the gory details from the service ticket:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n  Customer is sync no surf, no E2E ping. Checked TCP\/IP settings on multiple computers. Isolated 1 PC, powercycled, checked cables to no avail. CFI, DSL light show sync but cannot E2E ping. Some traffic incrementing on line. Please reset DSLAM card, thanks!<\/p>\n<p>  Upstream Cells Received from CPE: 764 ( 130271135 )<br \/>\n  Downstream Cells Transmitted to CPE: 140 ( 97056973 )<br \/>\n  ATM HEC Errors: 0 ( 53 )<br \/>\n  Upstream Line Errors: 5 ( 2063 )<br \/>\n  Downstream Line Errors: 0 ( 624 )<br \/>\n  Training Starts: 1 ( 10 )<br \/>\n  Time Since Snapshot Counters Reset: 8 Min. 57 Sec.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>What all that means, I&#8217;m not entirely sure of, but at some point during the day, things kicked in again. I&#8217;m not sure when, as I wasn&#8217;t checking in on a regular basis, but I did get a response from my webserver at about 7pm. From the response on the service ticket, though, Covad looks a bit confused themselves as to what the issue was&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n  Status changed from NEW to OPEN-Pending Partner Testing<br \/>\n  DSLAM Trunk Status: OK<br \/>\n  Technology: DMT8-2<br \/>\n  Card Status: OK<br \/>\n  Port Status: Up<br \/>\n  Actual Port Rates: 1536 kbps Downstream \/ 768 kbps Upstream<br \/>\n  Margin: 20.0 dB Downstream \/ 9.5 dB Upstream<br \/>\n  the dslam shows the loop up with no errors<\/p>\n<p>  ATM pinging the backhaul was successfull<br \/>\n  ATM pinging the cpe and it failed<br \/>\n  I reprovisioned and that didn&#8217;t help<br \/>\n  The dslam, transport and backhaul switch show increments of 1 to 2 cells at a time<br \/>\n  I put the z-link in a loop back and the atm ping passed<br \/>\n  At this point this looks like a cpe issue<br \/>\n  Please have the end user power cycle and try again if still unable to surf then we need to RMA the end user anew KIT.
