However, it is rather funny that even here in Taiwan when a user has problems with their connectivity and they contact the ISP the ISP will work with them to determine the problem even if the problem was caused by an update from Microsoft and even to 3rd party firewalls. SeedNet is one of the best at it. Their techies keep up to date on things and ask detailed and pertinent questions. They have no obligation to do that.

I made it a point to shop in that helpful store and suggest others go there as well. Wally is waiting for you.
