As far as I can determine, nobody is out service, just need to change the settings in their computer/router/ modem setup to reflect the changes to xxx@attbi.com and so on down the line... for dhcp settings and so on... all is available at the support site.

From what I could see it looked like the cable modem began interacting with the AT&T early this afternoon. The LED's began flashing differently than the "dissconnect" mode.

Then before I had to leave for work the flashing stopped and everything looked normal. The power, pc net and cable LED's were all steady as usual.

However access was still down to the net; I didn't check email or newsgroups.

Also I'll be dagnabbed if I can find ANYTHING on the support site regarding settings.

FInally there's a report on the Metro News Source wire claiming that service has been RESTORED to a couple of cities in the northwest. They were only down about a few hours. Next in line is Chicago, Dallas and Pittsburgh.

All is not lost.... they fixed me, so there is hope for any of you that are still on dialup....
