I am not on about World of Warcraft here. I actually had one of those fatality moments, almost 2 hours ago. I have been trying to get my network back online since around 18:15 when I was disconnected while partying with some great people I met on the game. I tell ya, you will never see me move so fast as when my network goes offline!
This actually happened in a different form recently when NTL suffed a network cable and left me without internet access. You can usually tell when something like this happens as I cam rushing down the stairs at light speed checking connections, resetting boxes and screaming to myself.
The end solution? Turn the router off. I usually just reset it using the reset switch but this time I had to actually go to the mains and turn it off for a minute or two to make sure that everything in it’s current memory was deleted. The problem? I am not sure although I did get a network cable unplugged error just before my laptop went offline.
Anyway it is all back online now. The Windows ME machine needs a reset before anything happens which is why I am glad I have XP on the laptops to do immediate testing. It is fixed though providing it all works when I move my primary laptop back upstairs (or just mine as the other one is my mums lol, therefore I shall move on.
It looks like Carl will get on World of Warcraft after all. His 512mb memory didn’t work, so he orded 2 x 256mb memory sticks and paid £7 for next day delivery – they didn’t work either. That really sucks! Luckily Deni stepped in and his laptop will plug the hole until Carl gets a Dell (which are like the most awesome computers ever, second only to maybe Alienware that just look cool and suck inside the box).
