Yikes!

Not sure what got us. We got a ping of death alert from the router, but there were problems for 3 days. After that, Doug (maxplunder) reset the filters and closed a bunch of ports. Everything seemed to be fine for 2 or 3 days when we started losing data on 3 out of 4 computers on the network. The fourth wasn't on the rounter, so it wasn't affected. Anyway, when Doug went to check out my computer, I only had 300 files left. Very bad. Then, after I got the computer back and started to download updates, Cablelynx went down through the whole state until late this morning and even once it was back up we couldn't connect because something had screwed up the order of the connection, presumably due to Budge's guest having plugged into the router. I guess it threw the settings off or something. Anyway, I have all the updates downloaded now, but I still have to load all my programs from CD...scanner, camera, paint shop pro and all that stuff. This is a royal pain in the *$$!

Do you have a system restore on your computer?
