Just when you thought it was safe to get back on the computer...
I just about have my desktop PC back where I want it after the big hard drive failure. The last thing I wanted to do was upgrade my Internet service. Towards that end, I signed up for DSL and sent off for a modem/router that would allow me to use the Internet on my laptop too.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bit_boy came over last night to help me set it up. All the pieces and parts went together in minutes. Then completely failed to work. A call to tech support and one line test later revealed a problem with the wiring or hardware somewhere in my apartment building. I haven't heard back from them, so I have no idea when they'll be sending out the tech to fix it. Meanwhile, I have no Internet at home. Again. Grr.
