sick router?

[celticdragonfly]

selenite and I lost our internet connection last night. It was (and still is) windy, and occasionally that's briefly taken it out before, and we had company and were busy, so didn't think much of it. This morning, after rebooting all the equipment, I still had none. That's annoying. After very long on hold, I got a cable modem support guy, who, miraculously, was polite and helpful.

What worked was when we disconnected the cable modem from the router, connected it directly to Agatha, and rebooted everything. Which presumably means our router is screwed up. So Agatha is connected, but Anvil, selenite's computer, is not.

So, now I'm going to go try to catch up on things. I miss anything interesting?

I happen to have a router that is not in use. I got it for a future project, but haven't quite managed to work on that yet. I'll be happy to loan it to you for a while if you like. It even has wireless ( which might conviniently let me borrow a bit of your bandwidth for my laptop at the filk if you don't mind. )

I'll put it in the gear bag in case of need.

fordprfct brought over an extra router - but fortunately was able to reconfigure the existing one, so we're back online.

This one has wireless, too, so yeah, you can use the laptop. Hopefully.

Spiffy. Glad all is well in network land again.
