The problem is that someone will pass that on as a "fix". Next, people who don't know what they're doing will attempt to "fix" something and in the process, may create more problems. I have seen this sort of thing happen over the many years I have been providing support. It sometimes takes a fair bit of effort to show someone that what they "know" is in fact wrong. It's better to stop that sort of nonsense, than to allow it to continue. I can just imagine someone now calling their ISP, complaining that their service is still slow, even though they've changed the MAC. It happens!
Point taken. What I was really reacting to was comments like "I suggest you speak to someone who might actually know something", which - I still maintain - clearly missed the point of this whole thread, not to mention being fairly insulting to this person when we don't even know what was said (other than that it produced a good result) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
