You should've just called Harry he can fix anything. Anybody should. Heck, I am far from a computer expert, but I successfully installed and setup a wireless home network system for my son at his Beachouse. All you have to do is carefully follow the instructions. Our system was dependent on Comcast. *That* was the problem. Eisboch I've got Comcast, and I set up my own wireless network without a glitch. Legitimizes the do-it-yourself notion...... I have a feeling the "cable modem" Eisboch was issued, and not the router, or router side, was at fault here. There really isn't much to setting up a router if you are not assigning IP addresses to the devices on your home network. I don't know much about these things but the one they replaced (that had been working fine until the Comcast dude remotely did something to it) was one unit. It was a modem/wireless router in one package. The wireless router I installed myself at my kid's house was a separate unit from the modem. I simply connected it to the Comcast provided modem and followed the directions on the disk that came with the router. It was duck soup. Set up a secure network and all works fine. Maybe I should apply for a part time job at Comcast, huh? The guys that finally showed up at the house knew their stuff though. They setup some cool stuff for us that the average do-it-yourselfer like me would never know you could do. Meanwhile, I've downloaded AVG but have not installed it yet. I read up on it a bit and it was recommended that you make sure you are current with all Windows updates for Vista, which I did. There were quite a few updates that had to be downloaded and installed. Before I install AVG, I want to get rid of Norton. Whenever I boot up the computer I get a screen asking me if I want to install it, which I refuse every time. I want to figure out how to get rid of that before installing AVG, just to make damn sure there isn't some conflict going on. Eisboch |
