DSL
Ok those who have better tech-experience than me. A little help.
Saturday I decide I want to see if I can run my dsl line through my powerbook. So I unhook the ethernet cable and plug in to the Mac. Great. Runs like a charm. I unhook and put the cable back in the PC. Shut down. Later I come back to the computer and no DSL. I try the powerbook again. No DSL. I drag out my Dell laptop. No DSL. My PC desktop is saying that my network adapter isn't there. How can that be? Suddenly it vanishes? SBC is supposedly on the case and checking from their end and the phone company's end, but anyone hear of this kind of thing before? You switch computers and suddenly mess up your modem or something?
Going back to dialup is not nice. Little help?

Have you tried asking Jesus for help?

I guess it's not unheard of a PC to lose a network adapter spontaneously. But the fact that your DSL doesn't work in your other computers shows that this is a DSL problem.
I'd shut down your gateway/modem thingee for ten minutes. Plug it into a computer that's off, and turn it on. Give the modem a minute to initialize, and then turn on the computer.
