Dead wall wart := no internet

Lost internet for half a day!!

On the home system, still not wireless;
running a DSL connection with a DSL modem.

Been running that way for 6+ years, no problem...

then, suddenly no connections.

a quick call to my service provider, late at night, identified the external power transformer (wall wart type) as the problem...

So a physical hardware failure.
Not something I usually worry about;  more about viruses and os updates..

did have my cell as a backup (to lookup the helpdesk number ;)
