Sunday Accomplishments and Open Thread

By Jeralyn

Configuring networks and routers has always been an impossibility for me. No matter how closely I follow the directions, I always mess it up.

This morning, my laptop said I needed to upgrade the driver on my wireless connection. After I did, I couldn't get online. The network only showed limited access instead of local and internet. I was about to go to Office Depot and buy a new router when I thought I'd try one last time to play with the old one. I put the disk in my desktop (which is connected by ethernet cable).

Three hours later, I'm done. I have a new network and not only does my desktop and laptop recognize it, but so does my iPhone and iPod (they never recognized the old network.) [More...]

I might go for broke and try to set up the wireless HP color printer/fax/copier that's been sitting unused in its box for 6 months because I was never able to get it to recognize the old network. On second thought, why push my luck? I'll save that for another day.

What did you get done today? This is an open thread, all topics welcome.
