You ever do this?

I notice my internet connection is lost, and because I have been having problems with my router lately I immediately assume that's the problem and after unplugging and plugging in a bunch of things on my knees under the desk after a half hour I realize my cable modem just needs a re-boot.

It's usually the most simplest things that seem to tie up time. I hate when stupid shit happends like that. Last week I was trying to listen to a webcast I wasnt getting any sound & I was like wtf then realized that my speakers werent pluged in to my computer... I felt pretty dumb lol

Yeah exactly Chris... it's always the small stuff that messes with us the most, eh?

I just finished resolving my router issues... I was only able to view URL's in my fav's for some reason. The router works fine but my settings got tweaked somehow. I was upset for a couple days but everything is back to normal now. The manufacturer of my router has great tech support thank God!!!

That sucks but making the same mistake more than once sucks even more.

but those cables etc, god I hate that it's a mess

My router just went spazzy the other day. Haven't had it looked at yet, god knows I can't fix it! Dy is coming over to fix it, soon I hope...

Router, cablemodem and switch are all connected on the same extension lead... so when something's not working I just cut power there and plug it in again and then see how it goes

haha, that sucks Chris! I've had similar problems lately with our connection here!

Not me Chris, I tend to take the more relaxed approach, I first try hitting the top of my pc with a plastic hockey stick and then phone tech support to as what am I doing wrong.. Then when all else fails I reformat the beast.

LOL, well damn, next time I have issues, I'll have to hit the top of mine with one of the swords lying around here!

what might be a more relaxed approach for some, might not mean it is a more relaxed approach for others =))
