ISP Information:
A drive in a RAID configuration that sits idle until one of the RAIDed drives fails. The hot spare then assumes the role of the dead drive. When the dead drive is replaced you can make it the hot spare. (The old hot spare doesn't revert back because it's got data on it now.) Hot spares are most often used in RAID 5 configurations, but can also be used in RAID 1 or RAID 10. When a drive fails the hot spare must be populat

I scanned her PC for viruses/spyware and could find nothing wrong, and all settings as they should be. The only thing unusual thing I could see was a BT engineer up a pole near the house as I drove away. She lives in a rural area and this is the first time she can remember seeing a linesman anyware near the place. Since then she has tried some throwaway accounts (Freeola) with the same result, bad username or password. She has rang BT who say everything is fine and the modem must be at fault. I have heard that a DACS placed on the line can cause slow speeds and other problems, but would one possibly create this problem? Or could a faulty modem send out the wrong login credentials (ie. different username/password to the ones typed in)? TIA Roryif DACs where installed you should still be able to connect at upto33.6Kbaud (if v.90 is turned off).I think the modem would have tobe connecting a lot slower before you start having problems with loggingon.if I where you I'd check1)Is the account still active (it could have been canceled in error)2)Is password correct3)try reinstalling modem,Dial Up Networking and TCP/ip4)try a different PCMartin Warby
