I just spent 45 minutes on the phone with a nice lady with an Indian accent.

For some reason my internet connection was connecting....partially. I could access e-mail, but not the internet. So we unplugged this and that, reset everything, changed a couple of settings....typed my username and password one-handed a million times....

And I seem to be back on-line.

These things are wonderful...until they aren't. (tautology of the day)

My head hurts. I don't like talking on the phone anyway, but talking on the phone while yanking cords out of my computer and redecorating my entire desk and moving my computer and trying to understand her instructions....is far worse. I'm actually tired now.

And now I have to bring up computer #2 to see if the wireless network is still functioning. If not...I get to go to live chat, at least. No phone this time.

ETA: Computer # 2 has evidently lost his router key...somehow...but it is getting signal, which is mejor que nada.

Sorry, dear.

What was the nice lady's name?

OK, that is officially the best answer I could've heard here.

An Indian woman named Steve?

It's an inside joke. ;o)

We always talk about how that guy you talk to in India always tells you his name is Steve...or Bob, when you know it's probably something more like Sanjay....

Arrrggh, I feel for you. I think machinery should be *forced* to work properly.
