Can you say VA-ROOM?! Yeah baby, spread that wealth around! While ya still got it and before the tax code gets rewritten in January, LOL! It looks super-duper, and now you even have it in a better place. And that pimply-faced kid clerk was B.S.'ing you about the router having to be Vista compatible. Geesh, I hate when techie kids try to lie to us "mature" adults!

Brenda said...

Yo! Spread some of that wealth around down here! :-) I'm so envious! After I buy James that dadgum shotgun for Christmas, maybe I'll start saving up for a new un.

Congrats on the new computer! I've been so caught up in responsibilities that I haven't had much time for blog reading or comments or posting. I sure have missed everyone.

New computers are fun and lots of work getting them all set up just like you want it.

Beautiful!!! That's what I need home! Maybe an early Christmas pressie?!? Hubby will probably frown at that request... Oh well, I'll just keep "peddling" as fast as I can to keep my old one going!

Glad you're back. I haven't been around too much either. Hopefully, things will settle by next week.

HUGS!

I hope your wordpress doesn't throw this out. Do you have 1 router or 2. i.e., do you have a cable router (or DSL) and a wirless router?

What does you router look like? Is it cable or DSL?

Send me an e-mail.

I assume that you know that when you have router problems do the following.

1. turn off the computer
2. unplug the router (start with the one nearest the computer). Then unplug the one closest to the wall.
3. wait 30 seconds
4. plug in the power to the router closest to the wall (signal).
5. wait 1 minute until it locks.
6. if you also have a wireless router, plug it in and wait another minute (ignore if you don't have a second wireless router.
7. turn the computer back on.

It's not uncommon for the router to forget what its MAC address is.

Hope this helps.
