Wandering wireless
« on: September 09, 2004, 10:25:37 PM »
I just recently installed a wireless router on one of my girlfriend's computers (and by "installed", I mean "plugged in") and a PCI card on the other. The PCI computer is about 40 or 50 feet away from the router. After initially getting a (weak) signal and being able to connect to Internet, the connection died, and so far we've been unable to get it back.

Ce quoi, le fuck?

Are you talking about the connection between the PC and the router or the router and the ISP? Are you getting green lights on the router from your WAN leds?

I assume the answer is yes.

Are you able to get the connection from say 10 feet away? When do ipconfig, are you getting an ip from the router? Can you ping the router? Did you know Xolik's boyfriend's name is ping-ping?

You assume rightly: the internet connection is fine on the PC that's directly plugged into the router, but the away computer isn't getting anything. No access to network, no nothing.

Haven't tried that yet. I didn't want to move shit all over the place.
