The status is NOT quo.

Okay, tried DCPs suggestion and was online with one laptop; went to try to other and had to start over again and then got this message from this laptop: "192.168.0.100 in use by d8:a2:5e:8c:72:e2"

Also, the internet seems to be ping-ponging on and off via airport right now with this laptop.

Drew, after setting IP manually via DCP's suggestion, it says "AirPort is connected to [Mom's network] and has the IP address 192.168.0.100." It was assigning a crazy other thing before.

Oops, double post. Drew, if you love me enough to play tech support over skype, you can call my phone, but isn't it dawn over there?

I AM A TECH GODDESS. Which is to say that I screwed around with everything long enough to figure out what was wrong and have reconfigured everything and it is working working working and way faster than before! Huzzah!

Long story short, figured out that Mom has had the ethernet connected to the LAN port on the Airport rather than WAN for a gazillion years, so I'm amazed the problem took this long to rear its ugly head. Once I switched the cable, I set everything back to automatic DHCP (DCHP?) to make the DSL happy, reset the Airport using Airport utility, rebooted the modem and Airport, and voila! Fixed and working and finding nice little IP addresses that actually work now. And since I updated the firmware from 5.4 to 5.7, it's even faster! Did I mention HUZZAH?

Sorry for hijacking the thread. Back to lurkdom I go.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

OK. Picking upy iPhone at the store rather than getting it delivered was a big, big mistake.

The line is moving! I'm on Madison between 58th and 59th now. It looks like it will only be 2-3 hours, which is what I expected.
