So I get a call from a colleague in a different room.
No interwebs and no emails.
Nor does his elf have access.
I and others do, so something is amiss.
We have the modem, connected to an 8 way switch, one of which goes to the first office I mentioned, and into a 2 way switch to run colleague and elf computers.
I swapped out the 2 way first, no joy, then swapped out switched wires at the 8 way, still not working.
Ran a line test down and discovered the cable is crook.
Do down to the basement I go and follow the line until I see the problem.
A gnawed wire.
The rats have been at it and now I need to relay the cable.
Sh*tty job, down in a dark subterranean hell hole with rats and dirt, fiddling with odd bits and bobs in the hope of making people happy.
(Sounds like a Chinese sweatshop)
Anyway, just been out and bought 40m of Armoured Cat 5.
How cheap is that? £1.70 a metre!
I remember this being really expensive stuff a few years ago.
(Perhaps those Chinese sweat shops are a good thing?)
Anyway, my afternoon will be mostly dirty and frustrating.
BTW, I HATE rats.

Hi All,

So started with the it's so simple it won't work answer, tried it and it WORKED!!!! either I am going to wake up screaming in a minute OR I'm getting better at this programming lark.....(still expecting to wake up)

Well done!
Now, give yourself a pat on the back (because your boss won't) and relax for ten minutes!

Its scientifically proven that with few pins your work day is brighter. If you are lucky it can even pass faster

Pretend like you're struggling with it a while longer or you will be expected to perform this kind of miracle on demand.

That is what I'm afraid of. Testing like crazy, dang I hate it when it works this early in the day....
Off Topic: the Atmel thingy looks interesting (I only use Atmel(s) on legacy projects I have to support) and always find the tools a pain!

The last time i made my specification faster from 9 days to 4 i was awarded with a new project to work on. So don't overdo it
