Hi there Liq.
Probably no connection (ulp, that’s a ghastly choice of words, when I think about it 😉 ) but I had a strange occurrence about 9 hours ago.

At 09:01 Jun 8 (USA-EDT) I was 3 hours into a quiet game of Y! Solitaire, with YM open too, when I suddenly lost connection to the game. Extremely uncommon!

I could not reconnect to it, but I WAS still online – I could still reach normal websites. However shortly thereafter my YM also disconnected, and wouldn’t reconnect.

I then happened to try opening AIM, MSN, PalTalk, and ICQ. Again I normally have no problem with any, but in this case NONE would let me in, except ICQ!!

I rang my ISP (Xtra, New Zealand) who admitted “they” HAD had a glitch, and suggested I reboot my broadband modem. I did this, and have had no problem since.

Does that ring any bells with you, I wonder ?
