INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Pilot fish is configuring a new router to replace a loaner from the telco
It's for running a secure tunnel to allow a branch office to connect to HQ's VoIP."When we finished the setup on our side, we needed the
remote router to be powered down and then back on," says fish
"I phoned a user at the other end and asked her to restart the router."I described it to her and she seemed to know what to do
We exchanged cell numbers in case there were issues."And that turns out to be a good thing
A few minutes later, when fish tests the connection, he gets nothing
No ping to the other side
Dead in the water.Everything seems OK on fish's side, so he calls the user at the branch office again.
