My 3400c usually works fine on wireless, using the enterasys/orinoco
card. Last night and this morning it couldn't connect to my router, the
ip addy was set to 169.254.14.31 which was the same as the router addy.
Subnet was 255.255.0.0. I've seen this dns before, it's there every time

All of this about the Ipod/HP duo, twigged my memory about something I
read last week. This is very OT btw, but the tie between HP and Apple
may be the tip of the wedge in some new relationships in the Apple/PC

This is from craiglist in Toronto. I figured everyone here would get a
good smile from it. It was listed under 'free' , with the offer of good
