Message: [QUOTE="Rich Rohrich, post: 623297, member: 16241"] Sharla - DSL runs over a standard copper pair of wires between your house and the phone company central office (CO) similar to the wiring on your home phone. The problems you are experiencing could occur if there is a wiring problem in the house, from the house to the common connection (telephone pole or slick), or from the slick to the CO. Your DSL provider works with the local phone provider to make the connection so a good place to start is to have them test the physical wiring connection. A good phone guy will know fairly quickly if it's a premise or backbone wiring issue. Once they eliminate the physical link as a cause it helps to narrow down the possibilities. The blinking you see is usually the DSL modem trying to re-sync with the head-end equipment and reestablish the connection. That usually points to a DSL issue unrelated to your computer. [/QUOTE]
