Ugh!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

This is an old thread with an uppydate further down in the thread.

Just wanted to let everyone know that the reason I'm not around much is not because of my surgery - I'm doing great and am back to work as of yesterday. It's computer problems. I almost have my laptop back up to speed, but for some reason can't seem to import my emails back to the laptop from my backup.

Then at work the DSL has been acting up. It's been geeking out for awhile now, but is getting worse and worse. When I call SBC I get the old "if we come out it's going to cost you" routine along with the "the problem is not on our end" routine. However, after much investigation and experimentation and aggravation - emphasis on aggravation - I belive I've narrowed it down to our router. When I plug directly into the wall things seem to work fine and when I plug into the router things start acting geeky. Unfortunately our fax is on the same line, so I have to plug into the router and it's sooo frustrating. Sometimes I'm downloading at less than dial-up speeds!

All we need to do is buy a new router, but that means I need to convince my boss to spend money, which isn't the easiest thing in the world to do.

So, in case you were wondering why I've been so scarce.......
