Well if you could not get out with the wireless, nor the wired connection that would indicate that it was either the modem or the router. If you could connect to the other computer that would indicate the router was probably OK. Which leaves the modem. But wait. When that happens to me it usually means the ISP's nameservers are down.
If the nameservers are down you can not connect to anything that uses a name like graywolf.com but you should still be able to connect directly using the address like 168.192.1.1 (that particular one most likely will connect to your router). Which reminds me that I need to get the address of a good remote nameserver as Charter.net's goes down all too often. -- graywolf http://www.graywolfphoto.com http://webpages.charter.net/graywolf "Idiot Proof" <==> "Expert Proof" ----------------------------------- David J Brooks wrote: > I spent most of Friday trying to access the net on both the > mac(airport) and the PC wired DSL. > > Neither would lewt me on, and as a last resort last night, tried my > dial up on the mac, and got on.
