Still no VPN or TV so we called Chris and asked him to stop by the house and reboot the network. Thanks Chris! The IP HAD changed... contrary to what the 'tech' at RCN was telling us... grrrr... but what a relief to get back online, knowing Mark could do his work, and more importanly, we wouldn't miss the World Series!
