We've suffered some significant internet problems over the past couple of months. First, despite running Norton Internet Security, we had a meltdown from a virus attack. Once that was sorted and we dumped Norton Internet Security in favour of eScan (which we are assured offers far better protection) our main computer still couldn't access the internet.
Our ISP (DCSI based in Warragul, Victoria) sent a new modem but that still didn't work. After a month of fiddling around I replaced the ADSL line filter and low and behold the system was up and running!
It seems likely that a power surge (possibly caused by lightning) damaged the filter and the orginal modem. The only issue left now if how to get the wireless network up as the new modem only has one ethernet port (the old one had four).
