Title: Hellooooo GEEKS!!! Post by Jonny on Dec 21st, 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 |

Title: Re: Hellooooo GEEKS!!! Post by Gator on Dec 23rd, 2004, 12:35am 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. Gator |
