------<br>
This 10-digit key was first response I got from uverse on phone<br>
after the uverse install.<br>
At that time even the imac had no internet.<br>
The uverse rep on phone had me go thru a<br>
sequence of 2 things to set up wireless internet on the imac,<br>
including giving him/her that 10 digit key, read off from side panel<br>
of the uverse modem.<br>
<br>
Then a day later I had another phone exchange with uverse<br>
where at my request they led me through the steps on the imac<br>
to turn off wireless (Airport) internet, and<br>
to turn on wired internet, and the imac has wired internet since.<br>
<br>
I suppose it remains possible,<br>
that 10digit key encryption/authentication on the imac<br>
is affecting my wired connection on my f16 box.<br>
Seems unlikely but maybe?<br>
---------------<br>
<br>
Tim, I have yet to try your suggestion of<br>
turning off both computers,<br>
and then pull the power cable from uverse modem, wait,<br>
and then put power cable back in, all with the computers turned off.<br>
Will try this soon.<br>
<br>
------------------<br>
Had the worst/most frustrating uverse phone exchange<br>
yesterday oct 3.<br>
The rep was barely understandable, he finally got around to<br>
to having me pull the power cable from uverse modem.<br>
This had the effect of also cutting off our phone,<br>
something I had not realized, that the uveerse bundle now<br>
has our phone line subject to problems/disconnects of the<br>
uverse modem.<br>
<br>
And of course, even though the uverse rep had our phone number<br>
which they dutifully take down every time we call,<br>
"so that we can call you back in case of a disconnect",<br>
he never did call back.<br>
<br>
That uverse rep also seemed to know nothing about the<br>
added 3 pieces of electronic gear that came with the uverse install,<br>
so I don't yet know what they are, why such a mess needed.<br>
When I crawl under my desk I can see a jumble of<br>
1) aluminum? ~1ft square 2in high box-- a large 'W' on one face.<br>
2) a grey plastic Belkin box ~8in square, 3in high-- another router?<br>
3) a small vanilla box<br>
All 3 I think are connected to the uverse modem.<br>
<br>
there is an additional very thin green wire coming of somewhere<br>
in that 3-box mess, that is also connected to the uverse modem.<br>
---------<br>
Is there any command sequence to restart/stop/start NetworkManager?<br></blockquote><div><br>sudo service NetworkManager {start/stop/restart}<br><br>look before you leap, chkconfig --list to see original config.<br><br>
