Internet down

[wickedwords]

for some bizarre reason, this morning my desktop decided that it would only connect to the internet during the boot sequence, and after that, well, the internet wasn't really all that interesting. So my mail is hosed, which is sad, but since I have hetty (my notebook) working, I can still get to DW/LJ, which is a yay. So we're backing up the data files and doing a reinstall; I'll be slow to respond until we get it all done.
