So I just spent the last 5 or so hours trying to figure out why my internet was suddenly not working. I took about a half hour break in the middle so that I could eat dinner, but then I was right back to the comp. In the process of trying to figure out the connection, I apparently clicked something and ended up having to do a whole computer restore back to yesterday {since it was working just fine yesterday}

Even after that, the connection still wasn't working. It was at this point that I thought maybe it was the router or the router connection to the other computer. {it was at this point also, that I wanted to just stab something or punch something; I didn't though} So I got on the other computer and apparently something had happened cuz it wasn't even detecting the router. What I ended up doing was completely uninstalling the router and reinstalling it.

Obviously its working fine now, but I'm not going to turn off my comp anymore. I'm going to be nervous if I have to even restart it for one reason or another. The connection was fine yesterday and last night and I turned it off like I always do before I go to bed. When I turned it back on this morning, it wasn't working. So now I'm just not going to turn it off.

Anywho, not much has happened in the way of progress. I still haven't been able to get out and look for a job. And its just too hot to walk. Even if I were to take a bus around, I'd still have to walk the distance to the bus stops. In this heat the less I have to walk out in it, the better. Back in Tucson, I still hated walking in the heat, but I lived right across the street from my work and the store and some fast food places so I was only out in it for 10, 15 minutes tops. Here, I live quite a distance from the nearest anything so it would take a good 20 or 30 minutes to get anywhere. Also, working in a restaurant, you were going to sweat anyway. If I were to get a job here, it would be more professional and the sweat would not exactly scream professional.

My mom said that tomorrow after she gets off work, she's going to come home and then we're going to go out to certain stores. I need to buy a few things to get myself settled in a little more {like hangers and mini storage containers so that I'm not living out of a suitcase} While there, I'm going to be asking for applications or filling them out at the designated stations. I'm still a little nervous about driving around the Vegas streets, esp at rush hour, but it shouldn't be too bad. I haven't driven in over 3 years, but the last time I was driving my mom's minivan. This time she has a small, little '93 Nissan Sentra. I should be much more comfortable driving it. Except that the brakes on it are horrible so I'd have to borrow another car in order to take the road test.

So asking about what kind of car my mom has sparked a whole 20 minute long conversation and I have no idea what else I was going to write about. So I guess that means that this entry is over. Till next time ...

=[ Internets are dumb sometimes.

I think...
there's an internet god. You know how one of the Fates watch over us with scissors? The IG has a similar pair. He waits with breathless excitement, wet eyes, salviating mouth, just waiting for the right time to SNIP! >.>

Do you use a wireless router or a hardwired router?
» etheracide on 2007-07-23 09:07:23

Oh yes..let me know the make and perhaps the model of your router. I may have a solution for you should it happen to you again. It had happened to me a few times since I moved and installed a wireless network.

Hmm I think my current suggestion would work if you were having problems only with the laptop's wireless connection. But I'll mention it but it may not be as successful when you're also having problems with the hardwired desktop. But I'll give it a go anyway cuz mine is also a Linksys wireless router with 4 hardwire ports.

Open up your wireless network manager on your laptop. Most likely the green square icon. Click on the "site survey" tab and it should bring up a atleast one wireless network. It will show all of the wireless networks that your wireless card/adapter can locate. Mine shows about 5 as I imagine a few of my neighbors also run wireless networks. Now if you didn't name your network look for the network with the strongest signal percentage which would most likely be yours. Click on the network that you think is yours and click the "Connect" button. Give it a handful of seconds and you should see it connect to the internet. For some reason when you restart a wirelessly connected laptop it will connect to a different/random network which may not be yours and may not have a connection to the internet. Give that a shot next time. =0)

I know what you mean. It almost makes you believe that you need to take networking or internet connection classes just to be a "user" on the internet. Who knows, with updates, revisions, new trojans and worms taking a class just might be a requirement!??
