And on that somewhat technical note, I shall bid you all goodnight

(I'll leave the link on the homepage - you can let yourselves in when you get here )

Tonight saw the end of GSP

No I've not killed her but we had a conversation that started with 5 words "you're a nice guy but..."

Dammit.

I'll postpone my slumbers long enough to commiserate

Don't fret, someone will turn up who's just right - at the risk of sounding patronising, there's plenty of lasses looking for a chap like you, and not all of them are loonies



Just wait till you're my age and single

Thanks Nick - still can't get it to work.... I just don't do technical....

[Sockpuppet]

Ah sweetie - it'll be ok

thanks dude

Sorry to hear that - I'm on my own in a hotel room if that's any consolation

That half sounds like an offer

Yeah, I just need to find out which town they live in as it ain't Leicester.

It could be that your home wireless router is configured to only allow certain devices to connect to it - this is a Good Thing, but they have a sneaky way of configuring this in a "user-friendly" manner when you first set it up, which becomes a complete pain when you need to allow a new device to connect through it and don't know what they did in the first place.

Connect to your wireless router's config by typing its IP address into your browser (almost certainly http://192.168.0.1/, or maybe http://192.168.1.1/ - or it might be in the letter you got when it was installed, or on a label on the back or underside of it) and look around in there for something to do with "permitted devices" or some synonymous term.

It probably lists devices allowed to connect in terms of their MAC address, which looks like "00:17:f2:41:83:0e" (although with different numbers and letters, as that's the unique address of my MacBook's Ethernet port - just something that "shape").

Your Eek probably has just such an address on its underbelly-label, so add it to the list.

Alternatively (thank you T-Mobile for making life harder than it has to be) you may need to look through the menus to find the setting that disables the device access control, or even (in the case of a T-Mobile router) disable all security completely: if so, write down where the relevant setting is in the nest of menus and how you change the setting to Off, then connect with the Eek and it should then allow you to add it to the list - then immediately turn the device access control setting (or all security) back on again using the notes you made when you turned it off.

(I had to go through this at a lady friend's flat before I could get my MacBook, and then another time her new work laptop, working on her router... no innuendo please )

more techie posts please.
