Tele2 Complete (Student) bandwidth problem

Problem: Internet from Tele2 with Complete Student product and a vood Router working in a setup bridged mode. Somehow bandwidth seems capped at 20-30 KBps.

Reason: They seem to have changed the lines for VOIP and Internet

Solution: At the router switch to the other channel (pppoe2 instead of pppoe1) for bridged PPPoE.

Vista immediately rebooting at startup

Reason: USB-Stick plugged in
Solution: Boot without it

Cygwin Emacs

Problem: Using Cygwin under Windows Vista with emacs inside and C-x C-c is not working, because it is somehow mapped to C-x C-g

Reason: Unknown

Solution: Add 'export CYGWIN=binmode ntsec tty' to .bashrc in the home directory.
