Title: Hellooooo GEEKS!!!
Post by Jonny on Dec 21^st, 2004, 3:57pm

Heres the skinny....I gots a laptop and the only jack to connect to the net is a phone jack, so I got me a cardbus network adapter card. The store geek said to just put it in and install the drivers, then just plug your cable line into it....WRONG!

The drivers went in fine, when I check in the device manager it says the card is working properly. Its sending packets but not recieving.

Ideas and or questions are welcome...

Thanks

.................................jonny

Have you killed/uninstalled any firewall software/hardware? Don't just turn it off,.....make sure it doesn't start when you boot your POS.

Fuck Apples!

I presume you bought an PCMCIA card?

EDIT: Sounds like WinXP SP2 firewall.

It seems that the cable line knows my puter and wont work on another (I dont know the lingo, so STFU ;;D)

But a quick call to Fubar and im up and running, unplug the modem and when it fires back up theres a new puter there....And it worked....LMAO ;;D

Thanks Shawn!

And thanks to all of you....even you Frank ;;D

Funny how a simple re-boot does the trick sometimes.
Cool. I'm happy it was a simple fix.

Heres an idea. Go back and slap the store geek up the side of his head. That wont fix the puter but, hey, fuck it.

From a Dilbert Cartoon:

"Dogbert's Technical Support"

User: Hello, I...
Dogbert (manning help desk): Shut up and reboot.
User: Hey, it work...
Dogbert: Shut up and hang up. [Thinking] My average call time is improving.

I had this comic strip posted in my cubicle when I worked at Creative Labs. People came from all over the building to make copies of the strip for their cubicles. Funny thing is, it's true. A very large percentage of computer problems are fixed by simply rebooting.
