[dba-SQLServer] sp_configure question

Susan,

<snip> It's interesting because the DSL worked for a while and then stopped.
The connection's there, I just can't do anything with it. The tech support
told me I couldn't have a cordless phone through the same outlet as the
modem, so I took the phone out completely. It worked fine again for a few
weeks, then the same symptoms, but there's no phone to unhook this time.

I use Verizon DSL that also uses phone filters.  The first modem that they
sent me had a similar problem.  It could see the connection but it couldn't
pass it to the computer.  They sent me another modem and everything was fine
so it definitely sounds like a modem issue.

The part about not having a cordless phone through the same outlet as the
modem is total crap.  There is no phone outlet in my office so I have a
splitter on the outlet at the edge of the kitchen.  I've got a filter
attached to one side of the splitter with a cordless phone on the other end
and have never had any problems with DSL or the phone.
