Gah. Twice in the last few days my iPod has suddenly rebooted itself while in the middle of playing something. It's never done that before.
It's the third generation (I think) - the 40 gig one that was right before they switchd to the click wheel.
How's it sit? Pretty cunning, don'tchya think?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Ugh.
Ok. I've got the DSL modem and wireless network working. I've got my main computer and my laptop seeing each other. But, I can't get Emily's laptop to see my main computer and my laptop. We want her to be able to print through my main computer, so this is desirable. Any suggestions?

Actually, I lied. None of the computers see each other.

Your tag here.
bug,
1. Are all of these computers Windows PCs?
2. By "see" you mean you open Network Neighborhood and no other computers appear?
3. Can you connect to the Internet from each computer?
4. If these are Windows XP machines, do you know if Service Pack 2 is applied? This may be firewall related.

I dunno if I can remember all this crap, but... have you turned on file sharing?

Yeah, I did file sharing when attempting to set up the network.

OK, can all the computers see the internet? If so, have you tried pinging one of the computers from another computer?

Yes. All computers can see Internet. How do you ping?

Find out the IP address of one of the computers. Go to another computer, open a DOS window and type "ping " without the quotes, followed by the IP address, and hit "enter."
EG:
ping 194.168.1.1
Well, I gotta run - good luck!
eta: the purpose of this is just to check if the computers can see each other at all. If it works, then it's a Windows networking issue.
