After trying different configurations on my ‘ill’ modem/router I finally gave up and took the option to update the firmware. At first it didn’t work, but later when I came back it amazingly did, which was a relief.

During the above problem I decided on formatting my PC’s hard-drive due to the other modem’s refusal to work. Also the hard-drive had become cluttered with various software installations after a year, so it was time.

Now, I’m considering dumping Windows XP. It’s out-dated and I have no interest in purchasing and upgrading to Vista.

Currently I’m looking at Ubuntu after hearing good things about it, and so my give it a trial over the weekend.
