[dba-SQLServer]Is it just me?

Same thing.  SQL Server stopped working when the DSL was installed and
could not be resuscitated or reinstalled.  It objected strenuously to
the whole PPoE thing.  My NIC is also dLink.  I haven't tried
reinstalling since I got the router and lost the PPoE.

I've never heard of such a problem.  I have DSL at home and it connects 
directly from my MODEM to my NIC card... (NIC is dLink)  what are you 
running?

Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask
