   I am either being hacked by the ISP or someone on the network.   
      
   Lately I have had to change the mac address AND the user account to get   
   back ability to ping the router reliably.   
      
   Very funny that changing the user account reestablishes my connectivity   
   even after I have changed the mac address.   
      
   The globe routers have NEVER been any good. Have no idea why their   
   system is so screwed up. I will have to go to DSL cable and do a hard   
   reset of the router, but I am not sure I will not have problems with   
   resetting all the parameters in the router. I hate to have to call these   
   jackasses to come help me.   
      
   Really sucky ISP, everyone hates it and the online reviews are   
   atrocious.
