Ghost in the machine
I have gremlins all over the place here.
- My router stops working as soon as I plug it into the modem. And plugging it into the modem is sort of the whole point of the router. No respond to ping, no nothing. It’s just dead, until I unplug the WAN port and the ping results all come flooding back at once. The ethernet display on the modem doesn’t show it as active while the router is plugged in.
- My local Apache server doesn’t work. At all. It responds with an Error 404 to a GET / HTTP/1.1, and yet nothing shows up in the access logs. I’m completely baffled as to why.
- PHP on 3Jane (that’s the machine hosting this site) suddenly doesn’t recognize
<?= $foo ?>. Or<?php= $bar ?>. I have to use<?php echo $baz ?>for it to work at all. I have absolutely no idea why.
If I wasn’t already at home, I’d say “Screw you guys, I’m going home!”

My router started doing the same thing once. Did you try literally unplugging the router and let it power-off for a bit? That seemed to fix it for me. A good power off and a reboot.
