sobriqueWell, here's an oddity. Dad has ADSL at home. And it doesn't work.
Or it does.
Sort of anyway. We've been playing with it. If the house wiring isn't connected, then the ADSL works fine.
If the house wiring is connected, then it doesn't.
The master socket has extensions coming off it. If the extensions are disconnected, then the ADSL router connects, and ... well that's how I'm posting now.
If we connect up the wiring, then there's just no connection at all. As far as we can tell though, all the phones are fine. As is the wiring, and all the 'standard' phone lines are filtered.
It's a bit weird.
Anyone got any suggestions?
