In addition, I got this bullshit e-mail from a system administrator, who says he accidentally set the configuration file from 2.0 to 1.5. Now, he says it's been returned to 2.0, all you have to do is power cycle the modem -- done it, and it's still 1.5.

[Swimmer]

looks like a diganostics from some type of fiber router/modem... If it wasnt broken then why did the system admin mess with it? hmm...try unpluging the internet cable from it and then power cycle it.. What brands/model??

I've never had problems connecting or anything, so I assume it's not a big deal. Also, the cap was set back to 2.0 mbps. The reason it took longer, he said, was because the TFTP server wasn't started properly.

Anyhow, I've always wondered why the logs looked like that, with all the 'critical' errors and 'failed to acquire' responses

[Swimmer]

that means that it isnt finding the service...
