Blog Frustration
Here I am staying with a brother who has wifi only it’s a secured network. I got all the relevent information like network key and still couldn’t access the network! I get an error msg about IP address. I have no flippin clue. Trying to use the one usable computer among 4 other people of which 1 is a teenager and the other is a pre-teen. Impossible. Add in the fact that I’m running around meeting with people etc…..makes for no blogging. I’m not really complaining, I just figured once I had the key and pass phrase I was all set to go. I need to know more network gurus.
Tomorrow I’m on to visit with my sister in Hastings, MN. We’re hopefully taking the little 3 yr. old Princess to the Cinderella Exhibit at Marshall Fields Thursday afternoon. I’m not sure whether to laugh or cry at that one. Sure hope there aren’t another zillion people looking to do the same thing.
The gist of this post is as you can see blogging will be light til next week.




















Sounds like he’s got his router set up for only a limited number if IP’s in the DHCP section. He just needs to enable Dynamic DHCP and open another IP address.
Then you’ll need to make sure he doesn’t have MAC filters set up to limit the lan to certain computers. If he does disable the filter, add your NIC MAC to the list, and then re-enable.
Any questions?
