Well, I may have gotten a new set of wrenches for my troubles with the truck, but with a sudden thunderstorm yesterday Old Murph got even.
I was setting here at the keyboard, reading the Pentax Discussion Mailing List when there was a sudden KAAA_BOOM! I hit my head on the ceiling and the computer died for a moment. Then came back up. "Wow, I am lucky that didn't kill the computer", I muttered. "But wait no Internet. Must have knocked out the cable. No the TV works. Let's try the laptop. Got a wireless connection. Must be the network card, I will get one tomorrow." I picked up a NIC today and put it in. Still no connection. "The wireless works so the modem and router must be OK", I thought. "I'll try another cable. Nope, that didn't help. Let's hook the laptop up via cable. Darn that don't work either. How the heck can it blow the wired hub and not knock out the wireless? Let's hook up directly to the modem. Works! Damn, now I am going to have to get another wireless router too." How did that happen? It had to come through two surge protectors, or through the cable modem to get to the hub and NIC. I am not going to say the obvious, and I don't want any of you to either. I am afraid Old Murph will hear, -graywolf -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
