Hey, I write it like it is. I have been waiting for my 48
hour callback from "Escallated Support" all week. I am so
tired of having support tell me to unplug and then plug
the router and modem to try and fix this. I can get
internet fine, but the VPN is a different story. I
thought I'd be better of with MS, but not on this
occassion. I seem to be playing with this thing
everyday. I am going to buy a Linksys this weekend.
Consider this a posting... Does anyone want a MN 700
router, two desktop cards and one wireless laptop card?
Barely and infrequently used! Cheap!
