Friends of mine laugh when I say that a bad shaves makes a bad day.. one ask me the other day when I was feeling bad if I had a bad shave... But it is important to start the day out with a good shave. I will go so far as to say that if I shave at night it causes me somewhat of a bad morning the next day. Fuzzy
may be a dumb question, but did you reset the router? It may have a hard coded address or something from when it was elsewhere. There should be a button you have to hold in with a pen or something, hold it down for 30 seconds. Should reset it to factory defaults. You may then need to go in to the web control panel and enable wireless again.
okay, so you're connected wired into the cable modem fine, but when you connect the router into the modem, and try to connect laptop(?) to router, you have no success? I've not had any "problems" with Vista, in it's operation, other than it's a resource hog, more eye-candy and fluff than pertinent operational effectiveness. It looks good, but your system suffers for the aesthetics. Yes, you can disable a lot of that (which I have), but it still is a hog on resources. I can appreciate what MS tried to do, and believe it could have been great, it just got rushed...and too much emphasis on "let's wow 'em with the initial impact, and hope they forget to use it" kind of approach but anyway...
that was about to be my suggestion, actually it would really help to find out the IP addresses of the modem, router, and computer, then we could see where the problem lies, I'm imagining the router has a static IP address that isn't in the same range and subnet as the modem but doing a hard reset on the router should reset it to factory default, which should turn DHCP back on, which should get you back in business....what kind of router is it?
Yes i connect the cable modem to the wireless modem router whatever. The laptop can see the router,best I know how to describe it. the name of the old network from my dads comes up on the list along with the name of the neighbors open network. Sorry for the long answer I tend to do that. rodd I will keep that in mind Fuzzy
sometimes, they are setup that you just hold the reset button in for 10-30 seconds, some you have to unplug, hold the button in, and plug in while holding the button down, again, 10-30 seconds...try both and let's see what that gets you
Fuzzy, throw it off the wall. This technique has worked wonders for me. Gotta go, the fax machine needs fixed.
Ok after i do that do i need to connect the cable modem to it again and try to connect to the wireless?
64 oz of coffee so far today, if I try to drink anymore within the next hour or two I'll probably puke but I am almost done with sociology note cards, I got quizzed on all of the ones I've done so far and out of about 100 before studying I got 12 wrong. I just need to make cards for chapter two and then go back to all 3 chapters and make sure I didn't miss anything. Tonight I get to have an oh so sucky calc marathon with my friend alex followed by more sociology.
that's too much, girl! I wished caffeine did more for me than just make me pee, I can drink a pot of the stuff and go to bed...except for the several "pitstops"
it does enough for me, part of it might be mental but if I drink coffee i can usually get my work done. The problem is I fell asleep around 3:30AM and I had class at 9 so I grabbed a big 32oz coffee for bio to keep me awake and another one around noon to get me through studying.
ok well that is better i think.. it said that it was connected to a now un named and unsecure router.. but still can not get on here Fuzzy
yup so, Fuzzy hasn't been on in a while, I picture him coiled up in ethernet cables, hanging form the ceiling by the router, laptop juuuust out of reach for a quick F1 :happy097 after all, that's what the ethernet is for, right? catching the ether bunny.... EDIT: so apparantly while I'm typing Fuzzy comes along and makes a post to completely invalidate my post...
