Well, from my perspective, we get people coming in here all the time looking to connect... nobody ever tells them how to unconnect. Mostly because we use a VPN and it doesn't interfere with any other settings, but still.
Plus most of them would forget anyway.
I've not had trouble connecting to other wireless settings. And I'm guessing I could've connected thelaptop without changing these settings. He just did what he knew.
Yeah... but you're an informed user. Most people aren't. Most people should be given etch-a-sketchs, they'd never know the difference.
The wireless portions of our network at the college were pretty much wide open...but you couldn't do anything but surf the internet.
It made our life easier since visitors could just connect, though it did mean people had to know someone with a network login if they needed to print...still, it was better than having to configure computers continually. As a college with a HIGH proportion of older students, a lot of people weren't there all the time...just took a class here and there.
*sniff* I miss my job.
My etch-a-sketch is slow today...
Try shaking... er, rebooting it.
Does it have to be upside-down when I hit Ctl-Alt-Del?
Only if that makes you feel better...
Okay, so that worked (thanks).
But the wireless signal is still vey weak. Thoughts?
It's only about 15 ft. away from the router.
Restart the router?
Okay, I'll try that tonight. Wife is getting ready to head out of town for an overnight business trip. Doing this by remote (me talking to you and then calling her) isn't working.
I have had the most adventurous day!!! And I suspect it's not over yet!
It all began yesterday, when I signed up for an egroup called "Tulsa FreeCycling". It's where if you have something to give away for free, you just post that you have it. Then if someone wants it, they email you back privately.
And if you want something for free, you can ask for it.
It's all free, though...you aren't allowed to charge for anything you offer.
Well, I'm still looking for live kefir grains, you know...so I asked for some!
Then I felt bad that I never offered anything, so I offered a DVD. Got a hit on it within 60 seconds of posting it...and after discussing it with the person via email, I learned that she literally lives 4 doors down from me in my neighborhood! I've never actually met her but have waved at her when I drove by! Small world!
So then someone posted they'd cleaned out their pantry and had 3 bags of groceries! I can always take groceries, so I asked for them and got them!
Then when I got home from picking up the groceries, I had an email...someone actually has KEFIR GRAINS to share with me! Just a little ways up the street from me!
You killed the thread, though.
How cool! Free is good!
I'm about to head down to Denver. Back late.
You are now hearing from the newest Range Control Technician on FLW...

Ah man, that sounds like too much fun!
I sure wish some of the stuff I work on would blow up when I was done with it. Except that would be bad, very bad...
Congratulations.
