Cannot connect to outside world

For some reasons or other, the router refused to connect to the internet. Spent 4 hours from 9pm to 1am trouble shooting. The ADSL light was steady and tried re-program again again the router but to no avail.

Today after office hours (was on QHSE3 course this week) decided to buy a new wireless ADSL router+modem (where else if not Low Yat ma....). Was hopeful this will solve the problem but to my dismay it was the same. Gave up, called the streamyx helpline 1300888123 (from mobile) - if from land line just dial 100.

Surprise! surprise! you know what went wrong. My username was wrong...not on the name but the end part. The username shall be without the .com. Meaning username shall be like xyz@streamyx only not as xyz@streamyx.com - remember NO .com for username....When this was corrected...wallaaaa....I was again intouch with the outside world...

So, I have an extra wireless router+modem now.....The old one is D-Line G604T and the new one is Belkin....May be I will sell one on the mudah.com.my...Ada sapa sapa berminat?
