Pun Intended. Couldn't control my happiness after a verrrrrrrrry hard 2 months of struggle.

One more stupid question I would like to ask is how do u guys 'off' the router. Coming from a Dialup modem usage for years until today!. I am used to "switching" off the modem via a switch but obviously the D-Link 502T does not have one. Now it being a router, having a computer running an OS(I think its linux) in it, it becomes natural for a "clean" shutdown but can't do it since there is no switch.

So I wanted to know if u guys follow some proper shutdown process. I am currently either switching off the switch on the Spikeguard on PC Shutdown or for rebooting the router or in situations when I want to start my PC but not the modem, I simply pull out the power cord of the modem even if it is on.

So whats a good way or is my the way uall too follow.

Thanks.

Once again congrats "powerontop" for ur DSL connection........ Mate, according to me u want to know the following: 1. Wht is the exact procedure to switch off ur DSL modem?2. Wht to do if u want to use the PC but not ur modem? 3. How to close a current Internet session?For first, assuming tht u are using a UPS (in case not using, u shud), just unplug the power adapter of the DSL Modem from it. The advantage of plugging the Modem in the UPS socket is obvious. In case of a power failure (tht is quite a lot in Delhi), we get some time to close our critical Internet related work, as the modem keeps working thru the UPS backup. For second, before booting the computer, do not insert the power adapter of ur DSL modem in the UPS or u can also unplug the power cable from the DSL modem. Both ways are OK. For third, just unplug the DSL cable from the modem wait for "ADSL" light to go dark (completely dark, not blinking) and re-insert the cable.Hope I made myself clear.... Enjoy ur brand new DSL connection mate.....GUD LUCK
