It's alive, part two

After my successful renewed connection to the life tube called the internet, I suddenly could not retrieve my e-mail anymore. Several days of troubleshooting later (quoth the help desk employee: communication is misunderstanding each other as little as possible), it appeared that something had gone wrong with some settings - what exactly, I'm still unsure about - but it's working again like a charm.

Then, I got a new modem after prolonging my contract. It's a cute one. And it works like an even bigger charm: the configuration screens are actually logical, and it's smart enough to propose sane settings for certain options such as port forwarding. I haven't tested its wireless yet, but I assume that I'll have no problems at all setting up the connection :)
