When I started my blog back on Nerd Federation, I wanted it to be a place where people having technical problems could search through Google or whatever and the blog would come up as I’d had the same problems. In that spirit, I have this post about problems with my laptop.
I had recently been having the problem where my laptop could not connect to the internet but it could connect to both the routers on my network. Usually if I restarted it, it would start working again but not always.
Then I remembered, that my wireless router was currently cloning the mac address of my laptop (I set this up for when I was at uni). The way my network works is I have my two computers running to my wireless router which is then cabled to my second router which connects some more computers and that then runs to my modem.
Anyway so yeah, I just turned off the mac cloning and I’m able to connect to the internet again. I’m hoping that was the problem although I’m not entirely sure. Time will tell I guess.
