But I`am not sure why?

heres what happened....

I had a strange problem a few days ago with my 250.

My pc crashed during a benchmarking program & upon reboot I was stuck with the limited connection error, i tried everything i could think of to no avail.
My internal network was running as per, so I knew it wasnt hardware on my PC(I had switched the 2 ethernet cables as i have dual gigabyte lan on my mobo to double check)

I kept receiving the limited error until my sis brought down her 250 which i duly connected and low and behold.... connection!!

I contacted support as i was sure it was a modem problem at this stage and went through with the usual diagnosis questions, the nice lady reminded me that if the error was at my end then i`d be liable for a small charge, she then asked me to hold till she could arrange to send me an engineer round, during the holding period I switched the modems back over and `whooops`all was well again!

Any possible explanation of what occurred fella`s?
