I've spent THREE DAYS trying to fix my wireless router and I still can't get into the cunting web configuration page to tell it what it needs to know to connect to the interweb. So I'm stuck on slow, expensive dial-up at home at the moment. Which sucks balls. On a more cheerful note I am eating pizza and drinking beer. Which is helping. But I still want to cry about my lack of broadband. ALL THE RIGHT FUCKING LIGHTS ARE LIT, ALL THE RIGHT CABLES ARE IN THE RIGHT HOLES, SO WHY WON'T YOU FUCKING CONNECT YOU FUCKING BASTARD. Sorry. I'm stressed. Need to drink more beer. I used to have a blog, actually. I wrote stuff on it nearly every day, and had a regular readership of 50 people or so. But then it broke, and I've never really been arsed to fix it. I set up another not so long ago, but can't really be arsed with that either. So it seems likely that I won't be arsed with this thread either, but you never know. Maybe this thread will become such a well-written, incisive, witty, amusing, moving blog-of-sorts that it'll lead to a publishing deal and I'll be a rich author and that would, like, so rock. I'm trying to quit my job at the moment, but it's tricky, cos a) I haven't got a new job to go to, and am having trouble finding one. Or even motivating myslef to find one. Because of b), the fact that my current job is only 3 days a week, which suits a lazy twat like me, but it's not really a job with great prospects. Or in fact any prospects. Anyone got a job going? I promise to only spend...2 hours a day on the web. Well...2 or 3.

Router bizzle: http://www.pac-man.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=151996 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15510711 Fecking thing. Job shizzle: What job? Well, that's the problem innit. I went part time two years ago, with the idea that it would give me time to work out what I really wanted to do, and then find and get this marvellous job. But in two years I haven't even managed to rewrite my CV. Prat that I am. What would I like to do...Hmmm... * Wouldn't mind teaching, but adult education rather than schools. Maybe teaching computers or something. * Pipe dream, but doing some sort of writing for a living. A weekly column in a colour supplement, that'd do me. Or travel writer...no, wait, restaurant critic. * I love food and I love cooking, but the 6 months I spent working in a kitchen put me off the idea of ever working in a restaurant again. But something to do with food would be cool. Running a cool little café/bar maybe.

I've emailed him but I don't know how busy he is. Will let you know if/when I get response. Have you tried the router diagnostics page? Edit: or is that what you meant by 'the web configuration page' ?

This is what he says:

Quote:

From a dos prompt type ipconfig, hit return

This should give you you’re ip address and default gateway

If there is no default gateway and the ip address is not 192.168.x.y or 10.x.y.z then the device is pretty shagged and possibly now has no firmware.

If there is an ip address like 192.168.x.y or 10.x.y.z there should be a gateway as well.

See if the gateway is in the “ARP” table on the pc by typing arp –a from the dos prompt. If it is try typing telnet 192.168.x.y (whatever the gateway address is

Let me know how u get on

! Just tried to connect to the router with a different ethernet cable, and it fucking well works. I'm configured and connected. Can't say I understand it, buy hey, if it works... Tis all a bit odd though. The "bad" cable works fine to connect stuff at the office. The "good" one has a mashed-up connector and is squashed almost flat in places. Weird. Also, I can't get the connection to work with the static IP my ISP gave me, but if I let it dynamically acquire one, it works. :? Getting my connection to work was the big project for the day, but since I've got it going already, I might spend the rest of the day doing fuck-all Cheers for the help. Sweets in the post. metaphorically speaking

There's nothing quite like that geeky rush you get by getting hardware/software working. Especially when you don't know how you did it.

Fab flicks Lava was well FACED Well, we all were - but his piccies were the finest MM didn't turn up. He gave his identity away with a teensy tiny turn of phrase this week. Then I sussed him this afternoon Now it's a waiting game on the suspense thread
