I Feel So Smart!!

Christmas day when my brother in law was sweetly trying to get my new laptop hooked up to the wireless router–he SHOT my network. I say network because something happened to the modem and the router, and let me tell you…it wasn’t pretty!

He came over the next day to see if he could fix it, and after HOURS of working with the ATT phone tech guy, he was told that the only thing he could do was to get a new computer. I beg your pardon? This is a new computer, not as new as the laptop–but not even a year old yet!

So I’ve struggled the past few days trying to get the laptop to read the internet connection, and it would sometimes and not others. I was not a happy camper. Last night my brother in law told us to call ATT and have them send us a new wireless modem. It should be free according to him. Not according to them. They wanted $100! So then we could go up to Best Buy and just buy a new modem–but I wasn’t thrilled with that prospect either.

I knew that Bob had done something to it–and it had to be possible to ‘undo’ it. Well, after three hours of frustration–I got everything up and running! I even have the laptop up and running on the wireless network! I know I always call myself ‘techno-stupid’ but I honestly have to say…I Feel So Smart!!!

Long story short—I just posted this using my desktop–it’s been out of order since Christmas, and it just feels so good to be back!!
